Review on TrueCABLE Outdoor Waterproof Ethernet Cable with Shielding by Peter Tennant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth every penny if you're exposing any portion of your cables to the elements.

This cable is a must-have if you're going to lay it in the ground and outdoors.* The cable's outer shield is great for tough use and will definitely keep the elements away from the inner copper wires* Once trimmed from the outer shield you'll see a foil shield that helps prevent crosstalk and EMI. As far as I could see they are not covered with aluminum. * I ran this cable outside at the radio tower and then in a pipe buried a foot below. That's a full run of nearly 225 feet with no issues. It just took a lot of handwork to make it this far. But after pulling it out and installing it, I had no problems. ***NOTE*** This cable is overall much thicker and heavier than your regular Cat6 cable and offers a different kind of performance. It took me a while to figure out the best way to connect this cable to the jack. Just experiment and try different types of shielded ends.

Pros
  • SOLID COPPER CONDUCTORS. Pure bare copper gives a stronger signal along with better conductivity and flexibility than copper clad aluminum (CCA).
Cons
  • Crumpled Pack
