TRUE CABLE Cat6 Outdoor Bulk Ethernet Cable, Shielded F/UTP, 500ft, Black, UV Resistant, OSP Jacket, 23AWG Solid Bare Copper, 550MHz, PoE++ (4PPoE)

This cables great. Needed to run some cable underground from my house to two spots in my backyard for some surveillance equipment and access points. Worked out great. Cables a little stiff with little flex, as expected with direct burial cable, but otherwise its just like any other Cat6 cable. It is thicker then normal though. For example, I ran my cable in 1/2 conduit (just to be extra safe and don't want to re-run cable down the road) and could fit 6 traditional 6E UTP where I can only fit 3 of this in 1/2 conduit for a comfortable fit. When it comes to terminating, one piece of advice is to invest and grab some direct burial Rj45's as the traditional ones seemed a little small for the outer plastic sheathing. You can still make it work with traditional jacks though or if your going to be punching this cable down to a patch panel (Like I did) Otherwise - great cable. Definitely will rebuy and recommend this brand to others. Quality control is very impressive with this one.

Easy to use, even if you're a beginner at hard wiring or a pro. The shielding is thin (outer foil) but the ground/drip lines hold up well when stripping outter layer. So far at 55', haven't seen any loss in performance.

When you need to worry about electrical interference or need to put a cable underground, this is the cable to use. It is well shielded and has a central core down the middle that provides strain relief so you don't have to worry about pulling too hard on the cable if your running it down a pipe. Also the Jacket is real heavy duty for exposure outside. The wires are thicker(heavier gauge) than normal cable, so you have to use punch downs to terminate, you can not crimp a connector on the end of this wire.

The cables are great so far and hold up well. The cable doesn't hold its shape which makes it easy to run as it doesn't kept it's twist. Only annoying thing is the plastic inner core which adds bulk and makes it hard to fit into standard fittings like water proofing enclosures or in crimpers.

I used this to connect my exterior Ubiquiti PoE cameras to my interior network rack. So far (~8 months) the cabling has held up with no visible signs of damage and no signal degradation. Temperatures vary wildly here, from multiple consecutive days of -30 degrees Fahrenheit in Winter to multiple consecutive days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Summer. The white shielding blends in better with the exterior of my house than typical black shielding would, so that is a big benefit. The twisted pairs were basically just as easy to terminate as all other Cat5/6 cabling I have worked with. Remember to get RJ45 connectors designed for thicker cables, both for the exterior shielding AND for the inner wires, as the wires in this are slightly thicker than average.

I use this cable to wire outdoor POE security cameras. The cable is heavy duty and UV resistant, which is important for my installation. This is a stiff cable with poor flexibility, but that comes from the solid strands, shielding, and heavy duty external sheath. If you looking for a cable to weather an outdoor environment, this is a good choice.

Hard to work with but seems likes it will hold up very well. Be sure to buy connectors that match the size of the wires. I also recommend trueCABLE’s all-in-one crimp and termination tool. Pricey but very handy. It strips this cable perfectly every time.

Trust this company. No shortcuts when making this cable. Buy with confidence!
