Bought this cable for my Ring stickup cam elite camera. As the one supplied by ring was to short for my needs. Cables seems to be good quality a little stiff as its solid core but fine for running through my loft space and pinning to my wall. Cable works well with my camera and works as it should.

Me ha gustado relacin calidad/ precio.
No me ha gustaso lo duro que va el switch a la hora de tener que desenganchar de los dispositivos.

Good external cable with no problems with it out in the cold and damp.

Works as advertised. How do you rate a cable? It either works or it doesn’t, and this works great.

Used to mount a Motorola csmera yo the mailbox. Works well and withstands bring outdoors

Punched to wire up my CCTV system. Been in place now for 2 years without incident and the HD cameras don’t appear to have lost any definition using this cable.

I ran 90ft of this cable outside, down two floors, and through about 20 holes where some holes where sharp metal. I can say the casing is very durable for what you’re paying. Also I’ve put ethernet head on many different ethernet cables and this is by far the easiest I’ve ever come across! No struggle or frustration at all crimping.

My times from my PC in the attic to my router in the basement went from 30 ms (powerline) to less then 1ms (wired). I have 200 Mbps down from the isp and I’m getting about 150 Mbps on average now. If you connection is sub 1 Gbps, I would highly recommend this cable.

Fairly decent quality Cat 5 cable for the price. The sleeving is a little hard and plasticy which may cause you problems when routing the cable, but on the whole it feels sturdy, was terminated correctly, and did exactly the job I needed it to.

This exterior Cat 5e cable was required to run from a cctv camera across the back of my home and then through the loft. The cable is strong and the connectors are good but what was a pain was the fact that it wanted to retain its coiled up shape which made it difficult to route. For instance I could have done with a second person to feed it through a hole while I pulled from the other side.

Llego antes de lo previsto, muy buen material mejor de lo esperado. Las clavijas rj45 estan perfectas y no cuesta ningun trabajo enchufarlo. Ninguna perdida de velocidad. Recomendado 100%

I think this is a good economical UV resistant cable. While I haven’t had it long enough to prove the casing is UV resistant, I believe it probably will be. I have a POE security camera that only runs 100MB, so I can’t prove that it would it will run 1gb but I assume at 100′ feet (1/3 max distance) you will probably be fine on speed. And it appears to handle the POE power just fine at 100′; The reason that I gave it 4 stars rather than 5, is that at the time purchase/review, they advertise “… for perfect outdoor use and burial” I think that is misleading on the burial. I’ve had some ‘direct burial’ cat6 cables before and I know there are several different construction techniques to direct burial cables, but they all share that they are thicker and stiffer than an indoor cable. This stuff isn’t even as thick as most of my indoor patch cables. So my guess is its probably fine for what I used it for (Running outdoors around a building), but I don’t think its direct burial rated, but like most uv resistant cables, it would be okay in a conduit for burial. So I would buy it again for what I used it for, but I would keep looking if I wanted to do direct burial.

Here’s the situation. We got two houses out here on the oregon coast, one of them has a router, one of them doesn’t. Our solution was to run this cable from one house to the other through a window. I initially bought two because I didn’t expect the first one to last a year. … .. .. . that was 4 years ago. The second ones still just sitting in my closet ready to go. Over the years this thing has been sitting in mud and snow. It’s been stepped on a hundred times and tripped over once. A bush has grown over it and has been cut down and allowed to grow back TWICE. We live right next to the beach so the salty air has also had its way with the cable as well. And it still works! This cable rocks! If you need an outdoor cable that will partially be outside do yourself a favor and get this one. Money well spent! Normally this is the part of the review where I say if it breaks I’ll buy it again but this things determined to last.

It’s Ethernet cable!!

I use two of these to connect my house network to my servers in my garage using Link Aggregation.

Works great and have not had any issues. It is great quality cable and I would definetly buy it again.

OK No data loss in comparrison with other means of transmission.

Cable is very durable. Installed another one several yrs ago and it’s held up extremely well outdoors. This one will be used to install a new smart tv.

It works. Haven’t tested it outside long enough to tell if it will handle those rigors ye

High quality cable for outdoor use. It is flexible and maintains signal strength despite being long.

looks good quality which i wanted for external use and works as it should. would buy again.

Cable installed between two routers and works. As described in advert. No issues

Arrived in very short time. The cable works straight away and improved the router speed from around 6Mbit/sec to more like 80Mbit. The recipient is very pleased about the improvement.

Great cable, has a nice durable feel to it. Ran it through my ceiling and upstairs floor boards and haven’t had a issue yet.

Well worth buying, especially over high street stores like Maplins and Currys that are a massive rip off for CAT5e cables! Very happy! 🙂

Very good quality cable, have run it outside to link back room of house with hub, which is in the hall by the telephone socket, works great very happy. Arrived on time on the day stated, Would reccommened this company.

Waterproof so far and we’re pretty happy with it. We found WiFi a little too weak even with extenders to service our home office with the door shut so I plumbed this from the router, through the wall, up the outside of the property, round the corner, through another wall and along the skirting. This took almost 100 cable clips to make tidy as it’s a pretty inflexible cable.

What can I say? I wanted a robust CAT5e cable and that is precisely what this is. It is very well made and well suited to indoor/outdoor use. I especially like the fact that the end plugs (RJ45) are very secure and will last a long time. The cable can be easily clipped to walls/timber without too much curling. However, if you are after a very flexible CAT5e cable, then this will not be for you as it can be quite stiff as a result of it being so strong. I am using this to power PoE (power over Ethernet) devices around the home and is well suited to the job.

Great item, good quality. Works fine to feed my cctv camera using Poe back to my switch.

I think some of the other reviewers have misunderstood what an outdoor ethernet cable is. The key difference between an outdoor cable and a normal ethernet cable is the outer sheath on the cable. The outer layer of a normal ethernet cable is PVC, for an outdoor cable it is PE (Polyethylene). The reason is that UV (ie. sunlight) degrades PVC, it does not affect PE in the same way. PE is also generally most resistant to punctures. This cable correctly has a PE sheath, so is suitable for outdoor use.

Some outdoor cables are also gel filled. Gel is used so that if you have a puncture in the cable, the water does not permeate through the whole length of the cable (potentially ending up indoors if you’re unlucky). This cable is NOT gel filled. That seems acceptable at this price point, but if your use case involves the cable installed in a way that there is a high risk a puncture could happen and that the water entering the cable would exit somewhere undesirable you may want to look for a gel filled cable instead.

If you are making an outdoor connection, you should buy a suitable waterproof junction box to protect the connection.

I used this cable with a PHYLink PoE IP camera which came with a very good waterproof junction box. To make it easier to feed the other end of the cable through the wall I cut off the connector and inside connected it to an RJ45 socket (eg. kenable RJ45 Face Plate Wall Sockets Cat6 Single 1 Port with Keystones Jacks ).

The conductors of this cable are solid (ie. not stranded); that means it is good choice for permanent installations, but not a good choice for (say) a laptop that is reconnected daily where the continuous flexing might cause one of the conductors to snap through fatigue. The conductors do appear to be solid copper – this is good, a number of cables in this price range use CCA (copper-clad-aluminium) which is cheaper and has various disadvantages compared to pure copper.

One thing I am not entirely happy about is this cable has very little in the way of markings on it. Normally at manufacture time a cable has the manufacturer’s name and specification printed onto the cable every meter or so, so you can identify the cable type (if you look at any half decent network cable you should see an example of these markings) and be relatively sure that you are getting the type of cable you have paid for. The only marking on this cable is ‘BK151123-41’, which as far as I can tell has no known meaning. As best I can tell from inspection, it is actually a cat5e cable with a polyethylene outer.

Note that there has also been an issue with anti-snag boots; at the time I bought (June 2016) the product photos were showing a cable with anti-snag boots (to protect the ‘tab’ on the connector from damage) but the cable I received did not have these. Apparently the manufacturer had removed these without the seller knowing, and they have now updated the photos to show the cable without the anti-snag boots. I understand the next batch of cables they have requested the manufacturer to fit the anti-snag boots. I was tempted to deduct one star for this, but the seller has taken full responsibility and agreed to refund or supply a cable with anti-snag boots I think they have handled the issue very well.

Many of the other reviewers for this cable seem to have received cheap/free samples, I actually purchased this cable at full price and to fulfil a genuine need! I highly recommend it, I’ve bought another 3 since.

First impression, very thin and flexible Cable. No problem with the bandwith on my gigabit network, delivers the same speed as my other cat6 cables. I used it on my loft going outdoors through the soffit to my 4mp POI ip camera. Only had it installed for a couple of weeks, not sure how it will do over time with frost and exposure to the sun. Because it is so thin compared to other outdoor cables i have i am little bit sceptical if it will last, also the coating on the cable looks and feel more like an indoor cable. I received this item free for an honest review. Time will tell if it lasts.

Great Cable, good quality!!

I got this as now the weather is getting better I would like to spend more time in the garden but still be able to use my network on the laptop as it is much more stable than the wifi – my cable provider has oversold the wifi in my area and it is very delicate and not reliable. It is so much easier to simply trail a cable out to the end of the garden, sit in the shed or under a tree and get some fresh air while you work.

This cable is brilliant, it is plenty long enough to reach right out to the end of my garden, with plenty of slack to drape it out of the window without putting pressure on any of my connections. I can leave it in the grass, even when it is damp, as it is fully waterproof and reliable. I tried this this afternoon and had no problems at all. I just wiped it off when coiling it up to come in again and it is ready for next time.

The connections are solid, the rj45 clips are strong and there is no risk of dislodging them when you can’t see the connection from where you are. I can see this being very useful for my teenagers when they want to use the shed for their friends but there is no wiring available for any connection. They can just take this through the window or door and connect no problem. I’m considering getting another as it is long enough to take up to my son’s room so that he doesn’t have to rely on wifi up there.

I have received this product in exchange for a fair and honest review.
