Kordz

We design, engineer and manufacture award-winning, professional-grade connectivity products for integrators. It’s connectivity. Kordzified. And so Kordz was born.

Kordz is the professional grade connectivity brand for systems technicians, by systems technicians. Let’s face it, there are way too many cable brands - many of which emphasise somewhat esoteric advantages: visual appeal, product selection, price, or somewhat unscientific or unmeasurable performance. As a professional, it can be difficult to find reliable and trustworthy connectivity brands that k

now what you need and do the legwork to make products you don’t have to overthink. What this industry was missing was a focus on professional-grade quality and performance. So as experienced former systems technicians, we asked ourselves, what if we could make cabling products that work every time and with very specific scientific and measurable outcomes? We spend a lot of time thinking about you – the problems you and your team run into on site, what slows you down, what eats into your profitability, what leads to failures, and call backs, and those unpleasant customer phone calls that leave you staring at the ceiling at 3am. And we design, engineer and manufacture to simply make those problems disappear. In fact, reflecting on our 20-plus years as industry leaders, we came to realise that what we do has a name – we ‘Kordzify’ products – essentially creating the most long-lasting, easy-to-install, high quality connectivity possible. Our mission is to provide you with robust, fast and effective connectivity products and market-leading education and support, so that you can push the boundaries of technology. And we take it seriously. From humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Kordz is now a global brand sold in more than 40 countries, with a community of thousands of leading connectivity professionals and working in partnership with technology leaders such as CEDIA, HDMI, DPL Labs and HDBaseT. This is why Kordz’ multi-award winning, innovative products ensure predictable reliability that’s trusted in mission critical applications where downtime isn’t an option - like government, healthcare, military and space. As well as epic home theatres, data networks and everything in between. But not as you know it. Discover connectivity. And join us in creating a more connected world that works.

In most professional AV and network installations, the active equipment will change long before the cabling does. Switches, access points, control hardware, cameras and client devices may all be upgraded over time, but the cable in the wall is usually expected to stay in place and keep supporting the system.

That is why Cat6A is now the sensible choice for new structured cabling projects. Kordz ONE Cat6A supports 10Gbps to 100m and IEEE 802.3bt PoE up to 100W, making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance networked systems, from access points and AV over IP to surveillance and control.

The real benefit is long-term reliability: when the physical layer is specified properly from the start, future upgrades are less likely to become difficult and expensive cabling conversations later.

Wi-Fi 7 is getting plenty of attention, but the access points are only one part of the job.

Before specifying Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, it’s worth stepping back and asking whether the infrastructure behind it can support the system properly under real load. That means looking at the cable category, run lengths, switch capability, PoE budget, uplinks and, just as importantly, what the client expects the upgrade to achieve.

For new installs, Cat6A is the sensible default.

For existing installs, Cat6 may still be suitable, provided the run lengths and installation quality are within limits.

Cat5e is where the conversation becomes more difficult, especially if the client is expecting a meaningful Wi-Fi 7 performance uplift.

The wireless upgrade may be the visible part of the project, but its the wired infrastructure behind it that determines whether it performs reliably.

"Outdoor Cable" and "Direct Burial Cable" are often discussed as if they are interchangeable, but they are not.

Outdoor Cable is designed for above-ground exposure, it needs to handle UV, weather and temperature changes. Direct Burial Cable is designed for a harder job, it needs to cope with soil contact, moisture and long-term underground conditions. That is why Direct Burial Cable includes water-blocking features, such as gel, to help prevent moisture ingress and migration.

Using the wrong cable may not create a problem immediately but outdoor environments tend to expose poor decisions and the system can start failing over time.

The takeaway is simple: match the cable to the installation environment, not just the network requirement.

Above ground? Outdoor Cable.
Underground? Direct Burial Cable.

At Kordz, we understand the demands on professional integrators when it comes to underground networking. Moisture and temperature fluctuations make it challenging to ensure performance and reliability. This is why we’ve created the Kordz ONE Cat6 Direct Burial Network Cable.

✔ UV-stabilised PE jacket protects against harsh conditions
✔ Water-blocking gel filler prevents moisture infiltration
✔ Delivers 1Gbps up to 100m and PoE++ compatibility
✔ Easy installation with a flexible 6.3mm diameter and metre-marked cable

It’s your robust and reliable professional grade solution for underground network installations.

Surge protection and grounding are sometimes treated as secondary considerations in outdoor AV systems.

In reality, they should be part of the core infrastructure design.

Electrical surges don’t require a direct lightning strike. Induced voltage from nearby activity can travel through cabling and affect connected equipment.

Without a controlled path to dissipate that energy, the system remains exposed. It’s a small part of the design process, but it plays an important role in long-term system stability.

Thicker cable doesn’t mean better performance.

In outdoor installations, cable selection focuses on performance and durability in the environment, and rightly so. But what is sometimes overlooked is how cable design affects installation itself.

Larger, stiffer cables can be more difficult to route through conduit, navigate around corners or install in tighter spaces. This can slow down installation, increase handling strain and place additional stress on termination points. And over time, that can impact consistency across the system.

By contrast, a well-designed slim cable provides a different balance. Reduced diameter and improved flexibility make routing more manageable, particularly in constrained pathways or high-density conduit runs and result in more predictable installation outcomes.

For outdoor projects where routing can be challenging, PRO SlimCat Outdoor Network System is designed to make your outdoor installation a whole lot easier: https://bit.ly/4dRBPjo

Conduit doesn’t protect your network cable the way you may think in outdoor installations.

Conduit is often treated as a complete solution but in practice, it’s only part of the strategy. While it protects against physical damage, supports routing and helps maintain compliance, it doesn’t prevent moisture ingress. Water can still enter through condensation or poor sealing. Once inside, the cable can be exposed to it for extended periods. So, if the cable construction is not designed to handle moisture, it can lead to system failure.

This is where the misconception sits. For underground installations or moisture-prone environments, you need to select a cable designed to resist water. Conduit is an additional layer of protection, not a substitute for selecting the correct cable.

Outdoor installs shouldn't require guesswork.

The key is matching the cable to how it’s installed:
• Above ground → UV and weather exposure
• Underground → moisture and soil contact
• Tricky spaces → routing and flexibility

Kordz outdoor network cables are designed around these conditions, helping simplify selection while supporting consistent performance. Ready to make your outdoor networking projects easier? Explore the Kordz outdoor network cable range: https://bit.ly/49Hbsu1

Using indoor cable outdoors works… until it doesn’t.

Indoor cable is still somehow finding its way into outdoor projects. It usually passes initial testing: performance looks fine, and the job gets signed off.

The problems is what happens next. UV exposure breaks down the jacket, temperature changes stress the materials and moisture starts to enter the cable. Performance becomes inconsistent and faults appear intermittently, which makes them harder to trace.

So don't send an indoor cable to do an outdoor cable's work.

For reliable outdoor installs, cable selection needs to match the environment and how it’s installed, and that's why indoor cables won't cut it.
