Yes there will be an outage. The CU package, just like every other, needs to be installed on all web frontends. You will need to bring your farm offline whilst you do this.

I would do it over a weekend to give you time to troubleshoot any issues that may come up.

However, always always ALWAYS test the CU on a copy of your live environment, to anticipate any issues that might come up or that might otherwise interfere with the working of your environment, or any customisations you have applied.

And, needless to say, take a backup of all your content databases before doing the update.
