VIVO 500ft Bulk Cat5e CCA Ethernet Cable UTP Pull Box - Black

AlagaraAlagara: Worked right out of the box. We crimped a 52 foot cable and got the expected speeds. If you're pulling a long cable, of course make sure you take care not to tug so hard you cause a copper breaking kink, same as any other box. It's spooled to standard in there. The cable is as thick as you'd expect a UTP to be, no extra space for the cable to rattle around but not so little that it'd in danger of kicking up at a 45° angle.

Vince J.: A good value and wire is working great. I do like the packaging in box as you can label how much wire was used by writing on the side where they have a grid to mark this. Now I know how much is left in the box and who ran it.

Dave's not here: I just got around yesterday (1/27/23) to finally run the line, It spooled out easy for the 200 foot run I needed to get internet inside my wife's and I hangout. I haven't had the chance to put the connectors I also bought with a crimp tool to try the run out but I am about to go do it. Will give an update when I get the chance to test it out. edit. I have had the internet working great in my wife's and I hangout. No issues at all so far two weeks in.

Amazon Customer: Cool to find a direct bury CAT 5 cable in bulk. Ran a 150 feet buried between two buildings, and it works like a charm!

Ameel M.: Bought this twice, and as it kept breaking as it was taken out of the box, would pinch itself. I think it was just packed wrong, because the second box was a bit better. For an outdoor cable, it's very fragile. I used indoor cables that were more durable. Ran a few of those in a 2 inch pipe and would still break around bends and corners. Making ends with this cable is easy as the wires are pretty hard, but that hardness could lead to it breaking when used for anything other then straight runs. Used for 4k security cameras and hard wiring ethernet around the house, longest run was 200+' for one run, and the signal was still strong, average runs were between 100-150'. After purchasing 1000' for the jobs, almost 400' broke and was a complete waste. May choose a different brand and cable for next project.

Eliminator Performance: I ran 2 lines, both underground, from my house to my garage.

Bought a new wifi repeater and set it up, have blazing fast internet now for looking up car parts!

I was told by a friend to get the "direct burial" line because it's made with a thicker casing.

This stuff is super durable and well worth the money, I even have extra left over so if I ever need to run more underground, I know what I'll be using!

Ryan wood: Bought the cable to link two houses together. The cable is durable has inner and outer shielding. It pulled out of the box without any kinks or snags. I used 400 feet and I find their is no speed loss . The outer shielding is stiff and durable as it's meant to be buried. I would recommend this cable for outdoor use.

Seattle Dog: It's hard to love Ethernet cable so only 4 stars. It does what it is advertised to do. I am the average Joe who was tired of streaming over the wifi so ran ethernet for blazing fast speeds, secure network, and high reliability. I was originally going to run on outside of house but went through the walls and under house instead for a cleaner setup. Data speeds are as expected. Feels very durable. As other posted noted this is the same as other cable with the extra sheathing for exterior rating. I am sure this will do fine if it was buried as long as no critters get to it. I only needed a couple of hundred feet but the last 300 are free compared to other products and who knows what gadgets will use ethernet in the future. Maybe I will trade some of it for a six pack and help out a neighbor. Unfortunately it will probably be an alarm system. Wifi is too easy to hack so ethernet is the way to go.
