The typical solution has been to use outdoor cable in the conduit and then transition to the appropriately rated cable type once indoors. DryBit™ Category 6 and 6A cable from Hitachi Cable America eliminate the time and cost associated with transitioning from outdoor cable to indoor rated cable. DryBit™ cables are designed for use in wet environments so long term submersion in water will not impact their electrical performance or degrade their outer jackets. DryBit™ cables are verified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL A826376) for long term water submersion and carry a plenum (CMP) rating. This CMP rating makes DryBit™ cables some of the most versatile cables available. And, since DryBit™ cables are verified for electrical performance by UL, they’re guaranteed to support all appropriate applications.
