Dripstone CAT6 Direct Burial Ethernet Cable 23AWG Solid CCA UTP, Waterproof HDPE Insulated, Polyethylene (PE) Jacket for Indoor/Outdoor Installations (Black - 1000ft)

Quality cable. Over the last 30 years or so in my IT career , I've seen the spectrum of ethernet cable. Some were good quality but otherwise marred by horrible handling characteristics, i.e., difficult to strip and reliably terminate, too stiff and thus difficult to run, etc. Experienced IT hands also know that solid copper core (SCC) cable yields better results for PoE applications than copper clad aluminum (CCA) and will generally perform better at gigabit or gigabit+ data rates. The Dripstone SCC cable met my expectations. Sturdy jacket, stiff enough to manage well, but not too stiff to handle. The outer jacket strips well - a single spin of my Paladin stripping tool is enough to ensure a crisp break of the jacket without damaging the copper pairs inside. I get reliable PoE at just over 150 feet. The packaging is a bonus. The cable feeds well without kinking or hanging up. Some ethernet cable manufacturers do an apallingly bad job of product packaging. Not Dripstone. Makes pulling cable much easier. 10/10 - would buy again.

These cables are very strong and fast. Excellent value for money. So far so good. This is a good quality Cat 6 cable! This cable is of great quality and will last a long time. Very strong and highly recommended.

Worked well for security project.

It works for what I needed. It feels a bit cheap, but does get the job done. It's easy to put the rj45 jacks on, compatibility is good, connectivity is typical of cat 6, and it's flexibility is stiff, but good.

I am not an IT professional. I am comparing these cable to my experience with a few other cat 6 and cat5e cables. Overall, I am very happy with this cable. It’s heavy duty and easy to work with. You can tell that the pairs are soft (aluminum clad) versus the solid cable cable, but I have not ran into issues. It actually makes straightening the cables easy. I did not find the cable to be brittle as some reviews complained. I used the cable directly buried around my 6 acres for IP cameras. The cable is very light. And....floats. Which, really shouldn’t matter but it was an observation I made. This will probably be my go-to heavy duty Cat6 cable.

The cable pulls super smoothly from the reel box, making installation a breeze. Terminating the cable was straightforward, and the jacket feels durable and well-made. It also has excellent waterproofing, which gives me peace of mind for outdoor use.

great price, purchased for in ground in conduit pull of 200 feet no amp needed and per electrical code in conduit must be direct burial. Better to be safe than sorry

I recently finished up installing a bunch of security cameras around the house, most being POE. I used this cable to run wire to our shed (90 feet under a deck, 18 feet underground), a small storage building (75 feet under the deck), and to our office from the garage - that one was through a wall in the garage where the cable company installed the modem, along 80 feet of outside wall, through another wall and into the office. No complaints. Worked with the CAT-5 and CAT-6 pass-through connectors I use.

Fast delivery, best stuffs, strongly recommend

Très bon produit, solide et facile à dérouler

Shipping took a little longer than expected but it was exactly what I ordered and needed

Very strong and excellent construction quality

This cable feels solid on the outside but the actual individual cables inside are horrible! The wires are so flimsy and not stiff at all! Im very disappointed with this cable! DO NOT BUY! It took me over 40 minutes just to terminate one end because the wire kept breaking when pulling it through the rj45 connector. I will be sticking with primecables from now on as i used their cables for inside my home and they were amazing quality. Will be looking at the outdoor version of primecables.
