Review on Aurum Cables Outdoor Waterproof Cable by Ronny Welch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The outer jacket is quite stiff, which is not entirely unexpected for a routed cable.

One of the 6 cables did not work. The cables I received were clearly marked 50 feet on the packaging, but they were only about 35 feet long. This length was enough for 5 out of 6. The sixth - the one where the cable does not work electrically - does not work in length either. Since the other 5 worked I installed and decorated this one on the outside of the building and had very little to do inside when I realized it was too short. By moving the ethernet switch 10 feet across the room I figured I could make the cable work lengthwise, but at this point I also tested the cable before proceeding. It is connected to an outdoor POE security camera. The POE switch and camera work with a different cable; does not work with this cable. If all the cables were the right length and working I would probably give 4 stars. The outer jacket is quite stiff, which is not entirely unexpected for an underground cable - there is no gel or silicone lubricant between the outer and inner jacket, which is typical of many outdoor and underground cables. If the outer jacket is never damaged by rocks or critters, the lack of gel isn't a big deal.
