Review on πŸ”Œ Waterproof RG6 Coaxial Cable - 150ft Direct Burial, Rubber Boot Connectors - Outdoor Orange Cable by Patrick Pearson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't let the solid copper fool you, the rest of the cable is sub-standard

This cable is listed as being direct burial, which implies certain features such as a robust jacket and multiple layers of moisture protection. What I did receive, however, was a product with a very thin, cheap PVC jacket with the consistency of heat shrink that curls up when you try to put the connector on. The shielding is a single layer of 40% braided foil, not the quad shielding mentioned in the question. The gel filling is barely noticeable with a slightly sticky feel. In general, the product is not suitable for direct instillation. If you don't run power over wire (you don't need solid copper to carry just a "cable TV" signal), a copper-filled steel quad screen made by an American company is cheaper and much better than this junk.

Pros
  • Good looks
Cons
  • Bad impression
