Cable SourcingCAT6 40m (131 ft), Outdoor External Ethernet Cable, 100% Solid Copper, Network Cable, LAN, Router, WiFi 6, CCTV, 1000mb (Gigabit), RJ45 Plugs

If you need a cable to connect your CCTV system (likely to carry power/POE thus CU/copper not CCA/aluminium, AWG24) at 100Mbit and perhaps gigabit in the future, and not expensive - then this is the cable for you. You can just snip the connectors and crimp your own if you need to or cut as required.You need CU cable to carry power (POE) otherwise the losses may be too much for CCA on long runs, not to mention the thinner (higher AWG) wires may get hot depending on current flowing (some cameras draw quite a bit).I've cut it (to crimp) and it does seem copper, with a 2nd plastic shield and plastic spacer between pairs. Thus it can be a bit stiff to route but nothing major.For site-2-site connections (say rooms in your house) I don't recommend any non-shielded cables (UTP) as they may pick up too much interference and cause issues even at gigabit. Go for shielded (S/FTP) even CAT5A if need be but perhaps CAT6A+ if you think you will be there for some time and upgrade at some point to faster than gigabit

This cable is far too brittle, which may not be a problem if you don't plan on chopping it at all, but my intention was to hook it into an RJ45 wall socket.Each internal cable snapped at the slightest of bends before being able to press it into the socket, so utterly useless - because of this I wasn't able to test it's use when untampered with - my guess is without any bending this cable will function, but with any bending, the copper inside just snaps.

I bought the 40m variant to connect my house to my garage (outbuilding). The cable works well. It was well terminated. I managed around 900mbit through it - even after reterminating.I’m not convinced it’s anything more than fairly standard cat6 UTP cable. There’s no additional outer sheath to protect it as with some others. The sheath itself doesn’t feel any different to other cables I’ve got. Cutting through the sheath reveals it’s quite thin, which leads to it easily kinking.Hopefully the material has weatherproof properties - that remains to be seen.Between this and some CCA outdoor cable, I hope I’ve made the right choice.

Great product.The solid copper inner cables are very resilient and better than what I expected.I used this as an outdoor cable to pull ethernet from my downstairs living room to my bedroom upstairs, so had to cut one plug and re-plug it afterward - all seems to be working fine and I can now finally have direct ethernet connection to my Playstation.(this is a day 1 review)

Bought three different lengths of this cable as never 100% sure what was actually required when tacking around corners etc. to make a neat finish. Works great on my CCTV which uses POE. Remember that this cable uses solid conductors so not suitable for day to day patch leads where flexibility is required. If you are feeding the cable through partitions remember that the hole will need to allow RJ45 to pass through. When passing through walls suggest you get the equivalent bare cable and add the connectors yourself

Good cable, most important it is working, run 20m version overground to my summerhouse where I set a tp-link archer c60 router as an access point, extending the house wifi network. I took the internet signal from a tp link powerline extender to the summerhouse router using this cable.It is a bit rigid, takes carefull uncoilling otherwise it might kink, I run it trough a 25mm pex protection corrugated unsplit tubing (short sections of 6 feet legth added at a time and joined together with electrician tape), where it went through the walls I have decided to keep the rj45 plugs intact and drill a bigger hole (20mm) so it can easily be fed through.Works like a charm.Highly recommended.

I bought this cable to put Ethernet between my router and computer room - a job I am more than capable of but had been dreading. This cable is well made and easy to work with on long runs.I have used off cuts to make patch leads, however, the cable is quite taught (springy) so is maybe not the best choice for short (less than 1M) patch leads.Super value would recommend.

This ISNT an armored external use cable. But this is great for workshops and offices. It has a thick plastic coating so you dont have to worry about breaking it when using nail in cable holders on skirting.However, it will not withstand heavy treading.Consider this a High quality normal ethernet cable and use as you would a home one.
