Review on πŸ”Œ DRIPSTONE 500ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct Burial Waterproof Ethernet Cable - 23AWG Solid Copper Wire - Passes Fluke Test by David Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

FAIL! This cable is NOT certified by Fluke as stated in the description!

FAIL! I should have known better! There are no shortcuts when it comes to installing the right cable when you need to certify it. Yes I was very skeptical when purchasing this cable but based on the description and reviews I decided to take a chance. I bought two rolls and immediately ran two runs of cable, about 200 feet each. BOTH failed Fluke testing due to near-end crosstalk (see images). It looks like the cable is solid copper. I also didn't know it was made in China. My cable installation and termination was 100% correct, I've been in the industry for over 20 years so I should have known better!

Pros
  • High quality workmanship
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
