Bad Experience with Dripstone Cable

Bad Dripstone Experience with this Cable Bare Cooper 1000ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct. In November I bought two Dripstone Bare Cooper 500ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct cables and used most in one place (home) with no problems. The following month I purchased a Dripstone Bare Cooper 500 foot CAT6 Outdoor/Direct cable and a Dripstone. Bare Cooper 1000ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct Cable for Second Site (Other Home). In second place I used up the remaining two Dripstone Bare Cooper 500ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct cables from first place and most of the third Dripstone Bare Cooper 500ft. CAT6 Outdoor/Straight Cable. Then I started using a Dripstone Bare Cooper 1000ft CAT6 Outdoor/Direct cable for the final run, which is about 50ft from the NVR to the edge of the garage and another 50ft underground to the security camera on the side of the house went. , total mileage 100 feet. I connected the NVR CCTV system to the CCTV camera but it didn't work. I checked the cable with a tester which showed that all 8 wires are correctly connected. I cut the wire line at the edge of the garage and checked both sides of the 100 foot section. I used a 100ft factory cable and plugged the NVR CCTV system into a port on the edge of the garage and connected it to a 50ft security camera on the side of the house to test it. The security camera was working, so the cable was bad for the first half of the 100ft. I lost over 3 hours trying to fix the problem. I can't afford problems like this to happen again. I will be purchasing CAT6 Outdoor/Direct copper cable from another company.
