Vertical Cable CAT5E, Shielded Dual Jacket, Direct Burial, 1000ft, Black, Bulk Ethernet Cable

Good cable but too expensive from this seller

I used this cable to pull lines to outside building-to-building wireless links. It went great- no problems related to the cable at all!

Already in use, installed for our internet connection, works well.

A local WISP Introduced me to this cable a few years ago and I’m so glad they did. I’ve gone through many boxes of it since and it brings a smile to my face every time I work with it. It’s just so much better to work with than the cable I used to use. It pulls well, the colors are easy to read, the shielding is easy to work with and the quality and durability are great! I use the Platinum Tools EZ-RJ plugs and tool and I’m able to get good connections very quickly every time.

Today July 9th 2020 Cat-8 is available in the market. But for Surveillance this was what I needed. I'll update the post after I finish the project. Once got the box in the mail, first thing I did was made the patch cable in pictures and it passed all test.

Some of the best cat5 I have used. Only complaints are the 1st 50-75 feet would get snagged in the box, after that no problems, and the price keeps creeping up on this box..

We installed a telephone intercom system on a driveway gate project a few months ago and got several call backs about static on the phone line (we originally used unshielded wire bought from HD). After replacing the wire twice, and still having problems, I finally got smart and bought this shielded, waterproof, direct burial wire -- and so far have not had a problem. I will never use anything but shielded Cat5 wire again!

This cable seems to be well made and passes all tests we gave it with our Fluke E-net tester but the outer jacket is very soft and gets hung up on everything making it a nightmare to pull. If you are just using it in a ditch it might be the way to go as it is the lowest priced cable of this type you will find.
