1 / 7GEARit Cat 6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable, 150 ft
GEARit Cat 6 is a 150-foot Ethernet cable listed for indoor and outdoor use, with a jacket described as rated for direct burial. Its copper-clad aluminum conductors are a key trade-off to consider for long or demanding network runs.
At a glance
- The listing describes the jacket as rated for direct burial, so the cable is intended for underground outdoor runs.
- Four twisted pairs use copper-clad aluminum conductors, rather than pure copper.
- The listing claims speeds up to 10 Gbps and 550 MHz. These are manufacturer claims, not independently verified performance.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A 150 ft length can suit a run between a building and an outdoor router or other network endpoint.
- RJ45 connectors are supplied at both ends, and the described flexible bubble boots are intended to help protect the connector latches.
- The listing describes the jacket as suitable for direct burial, which can avoid an exposed cable run.
Cons
- Copper-clad aluminum construction is a material trade-off for buyers who specifically need pure copper conductors.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing claims speeds up to 10 Gbps and describes the cable as Cat 6, while the technical details list 550 MHz under both data transfer rate and frequency. These details do not establish actual throughput. Confirm that CCA construction, your equipment and installation requirements suit the intended run.

Aggregate ratings are predominantly five-star, with smaller shares of lower ratings. This suggests broadly favorable overall ratings but does not reveal customer-reported strengths, concerns or reasons. Judge the fit by the stated 150 ft length, direct-burial claim and CCA construction, and do not treat ratings as proof of cable performance.
