Ultra Spec Cables200ft Cat6 Outdoor Waterproof Ethernet Cable Direct Burial (600MHz) Shielded (Pure Copper)

I purchased the 200ft length of cable. The cable itself is very well made, with a tough but reasonable pliable outer jacket. The connectors on each end of the cable were well installed.Approximately 150ft of my cable is buried underground, inside a 3/4" PVC conduit to protect it from animals and accidental damage from garden tools. Even though this cable is fairly stiff, I had no difficulty fishing this cable though 150ft of conduit (including three 90 degree bends) thanks to the smooth, slick surface of the cable jacket.Immediately after installation the cable worked perfectly - I had none of the connectivity problems noted by some of the other reviewers. The cable is connected to an outdoor 3mp POE IP camera, with no communication problems over this 200ft cable.

So this cable is great the only issue is I had to terminate the thing again. When the cable came it didn't work so I used my cat test kit and found it wasn't terminated properly. For someone who doesn't know how to do this it would be really frustrating to not be able to figure out why your 80 dollar cable wasn't working. I got his to run to my back house so I didn't have to have separate connections.Pros-High quality cable with high quality shieldingMeets CAT6 certificationsCons- Based on the other review and mine there is a high chance that it won't be terminated correctly.

Cable is itself labeled "FTP" which is technically a Screened unshielded twisted pair (S/UTP) - also known as Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP or even F/UTP).One can call this shielded, but fully shielded cable would be shielded both around the individual twisted pairs and another shield around the entire set of twisted pairs. While I did not cut this cable to find out, I believe you will only find a single foil wrapper around the otherwise unshielded individual twisted pairs. The more technical term for this is "screening" or "screened". It does offer some degree of shielding but not as much as fully shielded S/STP.FWIW, this cable is much more flexible that I expected based on other reviews. I imagine if it was fully shielded it would get much stiffer though. I have not decided to keep it or get something fully shielded.

[from the buyer's husband] We had DSL in the house and cable in the studio, then decided to consolidate by canceling the DSL and connecting the cable to the house. We then tried wireless range boosters, expensive access points, 3-foot antennas, etc., but nothing worked to connect our house to the studio (about 100 feet as the crow flies). So we bought this outstanding cable and grafted it to our old coax that we were removing (we wouldn't need cable at the studio anymore once we put in this cable) to pull it through. After a couple of hours of yanking it through various landscaping changes--ivy, dirt, tree roots (this is very thick, tough cable)--we made the connection to a gigabit switch at the other end, to which we plugged in a WAP for wireless in the studio. It has been flawless for many months and there's nothing like a solid wired connection.

I bought this cable a couple weeks ago and installed it into my gaming console, it works perfectly fine and the cables physical appearance looks durable enough for anything. But, the problem I faced was that the cat6 jack broke inside my gaming console and I am till this day unable to get it out of there. Like I said the cable works completely fine but for $100 I would assume we could get better cat 6 jacks that don't break off inside peoples devices, it just makes it super inconvenient because now I am unable to take my console anywhere with me unless I pop it open and remove it myself and risk damage.

I ran this cable underground through some conduit to hook up a wireless access point I have about 180 ft away. I was getting about 20 meg download speed at the router and at my access point I am still getting 20 meg even though it's on a 200 ft cable so I'm happy with it for sure. The outer sheeth is thick but not so thick that you can't cut through it with a good pair of snips to strip the cable back. I would buy this cable again if I had to for sure.

Cable came in packaged nicely in a large coil and is incredibly durable. The length is long enough to make it across the home through the ceiling and it hasn't had any issues since I purchased it. It's holding up well and I'll have to see if it can withstand the cold of winter as well as it is the current heat of this summer.

Nice Heavy Duty wires.Thumbs Up!My father and I buried three cables --200 foot, each. And these cables took an Ass-Whoopin'!!!I had to Pull, Push, and Pinch each cable through conduit.(Not Fun, but the Jobs Done)I was worried these cables wouldn't hold up. I'm impressed. They work great! I do recommend these cables if you have quite a job ahead of you. They held up for me.

Cable was fine but connectors are crap ... both ends broke and needed to be replaced right away with stronger connectors. The supplier should improve them and tack on additional cost.

Use it daily
