CAT5e Outdoor Waterproof Ethernet Cable with 24AWG RJ45 Plugs 350MHz Direct Burial Network Internet Cable for Data LAN Routers Modems Black 250 ft 1 Pack

It arrived on time, and with minimally wasteful packaging. The intended application was to use the entire 250-foot length to transmit an ISP provider signal from a outdoors receiver/sender unit with line-of-sight reception to a distant cell tower, through approx. 140' of trench conduit, and upstairs in our house to a router for wi-fi service to computers and other devices. I first took the roll to the ISP office for a pre-installation test, which indicated that all six conductors were working properly. After installation and hookup to the receiver/sender the initial performance test indicated proper signal transmission. I'm satisfied, and can recommend with confidence, with the caveat that pre-testing may be advisable to catch the occasional manufacturing defect that might occur in a small % of cables.

I bought this cable when I moved because I was moving to an apartment where I had a spare room I could use as an office, instead of having my computer right in my living room where the network connection came in. The issue was that where it came into the apartment in the living room was the furthest corner from the room I'm making my office.I knew this, but didn't get a chance to see the apartment/never got exact measurements so I bought this cable. Turns out I way overestimated that length, and that's really the only issue I've had with it. Even at 250' I didn't seem to lose any of my signal strength or bandwidth from my router. And the cable seems about the same thickness of your average ethernet cable, just maybe firmer so you need to work out the kinks a bit more as it tries to coil again. But it fit standard cheap cable holders to hold it down as it runs across my apartment.I need to trim it shorter, and have the tools for it, but I haven't tried yet. So I can't speak to if that'll be an issue. But I don't foresee any problems.

Needed to make a temporary connection from a main building to a work trailer due to an underground cable outage. Strung this cable to get the signal to the out building and worked great for the 2 months we needed the temporary connection. Don't know why a category of stretch is included due to the fact there is NO elasticity in this cable and if actually stretched, would break.

Other reviewers are correct, this is a LONG cord. I'm happy with this since I may use it for longer distances in the future, or even manually splice it to desired lengths if needed.The only thing I dislike about this cable is that the writing on the outer shell is not permanent and easily rubs off. It gets on your hands and leaves a greasy/chalky film. The greasy substance is already all over the cable due to the lettering rubbing off in the bag during shipping. So it's not fun to handle this cable without gloves.Other than that, the cable seems to be great quality.

Cable is a little stiff but works fine for what I bought it for. Direct bury from my house to shed. No issues so far.

This looks like very good cable. I have not installed it yet because the ground is frozen. The tie wraps that were supposed to be part of the deal did not arrive. That is not a big deal because they were probably cheap and I have plenty, but on principle, that sours the deal a little. Great price. I plan to fold this cable, pull it through a shallow tube I already have buried, then cut the bend and add two more plugs so I can have two runs of hard wire network cable to the barn (man cave) for TV and computer. The "feed end" is a Wi-fi router which will make it close enough for all wireless needs. This replaces a non-ground contact cat 5 cable that lasted about a year.

Needed to run Cat 5 from house (cable modem) out to garage where my office is. Worked great. No problems with download/ upload. Only wish it came in shorter lengths.

It's just a cable but we needed the length and we got internet in the mancave so all is good.
