trueCABLE Cat6A Direct Burial, Shielded FTP, 1000ft, Waterproof, Outdoor Rated CMX, Black, 23AWG Solid Bare Copper, 750MHz, PoE++ (4PPoE), ETL Listed, Bulk Ethernet Cable

This wire was well worth the money. The jacket is much much stronger than normal cat6A cable. The wire is numbered by feet, starts at 1000 and as you use it counts down every foot. Easy to determine how much wire you used.

As advertised

True cable is the brand to go. Great product line and fast shipping. I was really impressed with the quality. Very durable and easy to pull. 750Mhz 10gbps can’t be beat.

Great Outdoor Direct Buriel and UV protected jacket for use in the roof or outside

trueCABLE Cat6A Direct Burial, 500ft, Waterproof, Outdoor Rated CMX, Black, 23AWG Solid Bare Copper, 750MHz, PoE++This is a high quality cable. It was really easy to work with and make my runs.My use was at home. My runs are all in the attic, sub-space and some outdoor - none buried.If you are looking for a supple cable, this isn't it. By design it is more rigid than other cables. That said - I had no issue making patch cables for indoor use - 2ft, 3ft , 7ft, 10ft. Not the best for making sharp 90 degree bends, but a gradual 90 wasn't an issue for me.I found attaching the connectors to be easier than indoor (lighter) cable. The rigidity of the wire helped. You will need to be sure that the connectors you have can accommodate the thicker cable.Out of maybe a dozen or so runs I made, from 10' to 100', I only had to re-do 2 connectors. In both cases it was user error (me) or connector flaw.

This is the best cabling I've ever used. It's hella thicc so plan ahead. It's very high quality and everything I hoped for.

APPEARANCECable is Matte White color, interior wires are clearly color coded with no issue.HANDLING CHARACTERISTICSThis is a low-flex cable that has a much higher bending radius than other CAT cables.DURABILITYCable is extremely well made, exterior material seems to be PVC jacketed with a great deal of UV protection. Cable is foil-wrapped with cloth interior. This is probably the highest quality CAT cable I've ever seen in my professional career.SPECIFICATION ADHERENCEThis cables adheres to all of the design specifications for CAT6A (to my knowledge), networking hardware had no issues negotiating at 1000mbit (didn't try at 10Mbit) even when wire was located near power cables or at long distances.TERMINATION DIFFICULTYAll of the added features of this cable makes it extremely difficult to terminate with RJ45 Connectors (although no issue with Keystone Jacks). If you plan on terminating with RJ45 ends, I would strongly suggest buying some that are rated for CAT6a cables to accommodate this cable. During termination, I found it helpful to untwist the wires and massage the wires straight before termination. This process will take some practice and you will likely become frustrated (I did). Practice terminating on the bench before doing it in the field.OVERALL IMPRESSIONSThis is a great high quality cable when you are faced with difficult drops that have lots of EMI issues, have long transmission distances, or require outdoor runs that are exposed to sunlight. I keep a roll on the truck for these situations just in case.

This is high quality cable but it's also much stiffer than regular ethernet cable. This makes it more difficult to use if you're running it to a desktop or TV. You definitely need some extra loops of cable where your router or switches are so you can route it effectively. I'm not a professional but I am a pretty handy do-it -yourself guy. I make all my own ham radio cables and switches. I find this cable VERY DIFFICULT to add the RJ-45 connectors to, and I've tried several different types and brands. The cable and individual wires are heaver and stiffer than regular household ethernet cables I've made in the past. There may be some tricks that professional wiring people use but I haven't figured it out yet. You've been warned. : )
