150ft Cat5e Outdoor Waterproof Ethernet Cable with Direct Burial Shielding for Maximum Protection

Belinda London: Perfect for what for what I needed. My son buried it. More than what I needed but that's ok. Ran it to my shed. Very stiff, that is what I needed to run it. Having the ends on the wire really helped. It did not come all bunched up like some reviews said. Very easy to unwind. Very fast shipping. It got here early. Sturdy.

Ivo: I purchased one 150’ roll. My main gripe is the tight spooling around the center. The cable arrived as a tight donut-shape ring. The hole in the middle was about 4” in diameter. When unspooling it, I had massive tangling problems. The cable is hard and sheathed. It was extra difficult to unfurl and unspool the cable into tight spaces. I was very annoyed at whoever packed it like this. They need to spool it in larger donuts, maybe in an eliptical shape, with at least 12-18” hole in the middle because it is a thin, soft copper wire in hard plastic casing and it doesn’t do well with bends and crinks which happen when you deal with unrolling it. They are borderline damaging their own product with their current packaging.

Tim Ripperger: I wanted a line I could bury to my garage. It was relatively simple to install. Slicing the line into the ground took the most time. I can't really say much about durability because I've only been using it for a week but I'm pleased with it so far. The line is much thicker than a regular Cat 5 so I don't anticipate any problems.

Bill Gassman: Solid cable and easy to work with. I was surprised to see FTP rather than STP printed on the cable. I had not heard of "foil twisted pair" before, and was amused in researching FTP cable that many are confused by the File Transfer Protocol. Apparently, most STP is FTP anyway - so they should probably just avoid confusion and call it that. In my installation, it runs along the bottom of a pond for 50 feet. I did a speed test before installation and saw no drop against a short cable. I have no reason to think it will fail.

Emily A.: This is good outdoor cable, so far. I used this to mount wire a IP security camera and networked door bell system on a home which had no possibility of attic access. It was burred about 1.5 feet down along the foundation in a flower bed.

The cable is well constructed. It has the outer jacket, a ground drain wire, inner foil shield, then a plastic wrap around the 8 conductors, along with a thread. Plastic boots on the end are nice. I pulled one back to inspect the drain wire and shielded Cat5 jack, and they are properly soldered together. The cat5 end is not mold injected, which would make it very waterproof, but for my situation this was ok, as the ends are pulled into electrical boxes mounted in walls high above the ground level.

The wire is very stiff. I had difficulty bending and plugging it into my devices inside the single gang electrical boxes i used. I had to very carefully arrange everything in the box, and have just a small amount of wire pulled into the box, in order to keep the wire from kinking and risk breaking the conductors.

This wire was used to reduce the need for putting down conduit, and simplify the job. Install was very easy.
