Review on Vertical Cable Cat5E by Pedro Curtis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality wire, strong and durable, works great

I have purchased and used two jackets of this copper Cat5e cable and am very happy with them. Both boxes were used to mount security cameras (Hikvision to be precise), all powered via Ethernet (POE). Some of the cable has been exposed to the sun and elements, and some is in cable ducts, both of which work great. The wire is slightly thicker than a Category 5e indoor cable, but pulls through with ease. This is solid copper wire (NOT copper clad aluminum) which is much preferred over CCA and the wire is labeled so you know how much you've used. My Klein Tools crimping tool has no problem crimping RJ45 connectors and the wire colors are easy to see and distinguish. I will continue to buy and update this cable over time, but I don't foresee any problems. I recommend this cable to anyone looking for an outdoor Cat5e cable.

Pros
  • Sequential length markings on jacket
Cons
  • Quick start guide
