Dripstone - DS617 1000ft CAT5e Outdoor 350Mhz Direct Burial Solid Cable 24AWG Waterproof Wire HDPE Insulated Polyethylene (PE) for Indoor/Outdoor Easy Pull Box on Plastic Reel

so far its held up its own. it may not be solid copper, but it still work great. i set up a dvr with 3 cameras where my mother-in-law lives, picture quality is very clear. no issues on power either. re-wired my homes dvr due old cabling(coaxial) and image not clear anymore. now they are crystal clear as well. also re-wire our second property. that one was a mission. all 5 cams are run on this Cat5e are still up n running. ecxept maybe only one of them. i might have run one cable slightly too long. at night the night vision doesnt work. hoping its the camera and no the length. overall this will be good at its price. like i said, it may not be solid copper, but its still pretty good item. just be carefull when your pulling and trying to peel each strand as they will break pretty easy

I've been a low voltage tech for 17 years. I definitely questioned this before using it. The price is so low it's gotta be junk right? Wrong. I've used this time and time again and never had 1 issue. I haven't run speed tests on it or anything I usually use it for cameras. I have used it for data in construction trailers and never had any issue or complaint. Now it's my go to for outdoor cable. Definitely suggested. Easy to use, comes out of the box easily and tangle free and is super easy to terminate.

Seems to be fairly good direct burial grade CAT5E cable, outer cable jacket seems to be water proof and fairly rigid and the inner conductors are easy to work with and easy to install the RJ45 onto them.

Used for IP cameras… good quality

ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!! IT IS NOT 24 GUAGE, IT IS MUCH THINNER AND EXTREMELY BRITTLE!I've been doing low voltage wiring for thirty plus years, this is by far the worst wire I have ever purchased. My intown supplier was out of what I needed, so I ordered this wire, unfortunitly I looked at the star rating BUT did not read other detailed reviews. I was deceived!As a result of this one box of crap wire, it ended up costing my conpany well over a thousand dollars, being that I had to rent a lift the day of the install plus pay labor. I had to do the complete job over the next day, after spending 13 hours running this crap wire and troubleshooting why the IP cameras I installed were not working. All but one 25' wire run, the very first pull, was defective!If Amazon does not pull this off their listing I will be getting an attorney. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER HARD WORKING INDIVIDUAL OR BUSINESS TO GO THROUGH WHAT I JUST DID BECAUSE THIS WIRE BELONGS IN THE GARBAGE!

This product works great for our underground wiring. I was a bit skeptical of buying this product because I usually use my vendors outdoor cat 5e for double the price. It does the same as the vendors product and quality is the same. Will recommend to other people.

I wasn't sure what to expect because of the low cost, but I direct buried 6 lines, in 6 different trenches, each over 200 feet, two at 250 feet. Connected to 8MP POE cameras and all worked perfectly. The 24 AWG wire made terminating easy with EZ RJ45 connectors. Highly recommend.

Just realized it was CCA copper clad aluminum and not solid copper wire. lol. I wired my house, exterior and interior, a couple of years ago with this cable. We've been through two winters in the PNW with a couple weeks of snow each time and it has worked great. But now that I know it's CCA, looking back I would have opted for solid copper.I will be wiring another house but will be buying solid copper CAT5e from Home Depot instead because it's for someone else and I'd like to minimize any issues that might arise in the future. Home Depot has both indoor and outdoor bulk CAT5e cable. It's not as expensive as I thought it was going to be at Home Depot. I'm willing to pay a little extra for some peace of mind. Now I'm interested in running LAN speedtests to see what kind of speeds we're actually getting at home.If you end up buying this cable anyways, and specially if installing cable for someone else, I would highly recommend getting a decent cable tester like the ELEGIANT RJ11 RJ45 Cable Tester B01HCQSHNG. I would not recommend this cable for people who use their internet to work from home because it can turn into a troubleshooting nightmare if your internet connection starts dropping occasionally / sporadically. I would only recommend this cable for temporary solutions or people who have spare time to troubleshoot their network if an issue arises and have no problem re-terminating or re-running a wire.p.s. I've loved using 4.5mm saddle brackets B01NBLP9RU + exterior screws + zip ties to tie down cables, specially if running outdoors or more than one cable along the same path. sturdiest setup I've come across.

Bought these for my parents house to be used outdoors installing security cameras. All cameras work great and cable were over 200ft long. Most cables were installed in pipes and some directly buried. Happy with the purchase, would definetlt but again!

Excellent quality cable. Works flawlessly. We use it both indoor and outdoor. Above ground and buried.

For the price it's decent. Durable jacket, has thin plastic clear sheathing under the jacket. Sure its CCA but its been no problem with my PoE cameras that pull about 17 watts. Holds up to the Canadian winter where it was covered in snow and the 25C+ baking in the sun facing west. Just be careful of the bending radius.

Little thinner than I expected but works great

The gauge is poor and prone to breaking. Not suitable for camera installations.
