Key Benefits

Why Buyers Specify This Line

Unshielded Build

The UTP construction of 20 Pair Outdoor keeps containment fill and termination time down. Screening only pays where you can name the interference source.

Built For External Routes

Outdoor construction on 20 Pair Outdoor means the jacket survives sustained sunlight. A PVC cable in the same position chalks, cracks and lets water into the core.

20 Pair Build

20 pair on 20 Pair Outdoor. Adding cores at order time is close to free; re-pulling a riser is a day.

OEM Branding Available

20 Pair Outdoor can ship as a private label line: logo printed on the jacket from 1 km, plus custom box artwork, reel labels and bag printing.

Tested Before It Ships

Testing on 20 Pair Outdoor happens at the factory, not at your warehouse: continuity end to end, conductor resistance, and dielectric strength on the finished cable.

Compared With Nearby Specifications

AlternativeHow it differs
100 PairThis is the outdoor specification; that one is built for indoor use. The difference is the jacket, and substituting one for the other is the usual cause of a premature failure.
Use Guide

Installing It Without Losing Performance

  • Use a pulling grip on 20 Pair Outdoor rather than hand tension, and pull steadily. Jerked pulls are what turn a good drum into a failed link.
  • Every millimetre of untwisted conductor at a 20 Pair Outdoor termination is unprotected cable. Strip back only as far as the contact block actually needs.
  • Tight bends deform the pairs inside 20 Pair Outdoor and change impedance at that point. The panel end is where this is most often violated.
  • Document which pairs of 20 Pair Outdoor are used at each end. Multi-pair cable without a record is archaeology for the next engineer.
  • Coil a little spare 20 Pair Outdoor at every termination — re-terminating a cable pulled tight means cutting into the run.

Before a first bulk order of 20 Pair Outdoor: request a sample reel. The approved sample becomes the reference every later production lot of this specification is checked against.
