Review on πŸ”Œ VIVO Black 1,000ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable: Waterproof, Outdoor, Direct Burial - CCA Wire, UTP Pull Box - Heavy-Duty Performance CABLE-V007 by Trevor Rodke

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Stay away from the CCA if you have to travel a distance

This cable is great for very short runs. However, if you want to travel any distance (over 100 feet), be aware that data is slow and POE suffers more voltage drop than solid/pure copper. I went cheap and bought a box of this stuff that worked great in my house. But since the unused box was still on the shelf, I used it to power the remote POE+ cameras (30W power). While Ethernet specs are good up to 100m (about 330 feet), I pushed the limits by going to 480 feet. It went wrong. The cameras didn't even turn on. I ordered an equivalent pure copper cable and duplicated it. Although the cameras are 180 feet longer than the IEEE standard, they work perfectly. Ping 1ms, data loss 0%. Lesson learned. I took almost 1000 feet of cable and ruined it. I will never buy a CS again.

  • Ethernet cable
