This is a high performance cable, you need large diameter RJ45 connectors (cheap) or tool-less RJ45 connectors (expensive). I've used it for Direct Burial and POE applications and it works great. I share some concerns that the cable is water and UV resistant but not waterproof? There is no gel inside the cable and a thin cellophane wrap with fabric underneath, but I don't want to just pay double for a gel filled cable.
