Cat6 Outdoor Direct Burial Safety and Handling Recommendations
New outdoor-rated cables may have a noticeable manufacturing odor caused by the protective jacket materials. While the CMX jacket provides excellent weather resistance and durability, sensitive individuals may experience temporary skin irritation during extended handling.
For safer installation:
- Wear protective gloves when handling cable
- Use safety glasses during cutting and termination
- Work in a well-ventilated area
- Avoid prolonged direct contact with jacket materials
These precautions help ensure comfortable and safe installation while maintaining the benefits of a durable outdoor cable design.
