Customers like the quality of the electronic cable. They say it's the best cat5 cable they've ever used, the copper wire is of good quality, and the casing is very durable. Some say that it'll work well as an outdoor cable and an Ethernet cable.

"...Overall, I am impressed with the quality of this cable" Read more

"...The cable is quality, all the wires are color marked (some cheaper brands do no put the color stripe on the wires that are not a solid color), and..." Read more

"This is good quality cable. Came on a wooden spool just like in the pictures. Not gel filled, but the jacket is pretty thick. Would buy again." Read more

"...The solid core wiring is a breeze to crimp connectors on.I’ll be buying more to replace the rest of my runs with this." Read more

43 customers mention39 positive4 negative

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the cable. They mention that it works well, is perfectly satisfactory for almost all uses, and has no interference from radio transmissions. It works perfectly with POE security cameras and provides an internet connection with no issues. The cable fully complies to its specifications and has a network extension with no noticeable slowdown or lag.

"...Works like a charm. Since it is hardwired from end it end, my connection is much faster than WiFi...." Read more

"...When I hooked it up to my security camera, it worked perfectly. I'm very, very happy with it. AND - it's totally waterproof." Read more

"...separate families are using the network I extended with no noticeable slowdown or lag. So far so good." Read more

"...temp range from -25F to 100F, full sun, snow and rain; still great performance." Read more

42 customers mention37 positive5 negative

Customers like the sturdiness of the electronic cable. They say it holds up very well, the wooden spool does not break, and the wire is of superb quality. The cable is flexible and can be coiled and uncoiled without any issues. Customers also appreciate the fact that it's solid copper wire and not copper coated aluminum. They mention that the wires are stiff and strong, and crimping them was relatively easy.

"...Cable is flexible, seems sturdy, and pulls easily. Don’t hesitate.Note: this is NOT gell-filled cable...." Read more

"...and it holds up very well with long runs with POE (150ft+)." Read more

"...These have been in use for a couple of years and stand up to being coiled and uncoiled. They get wet, dirty, and walked on in some cases...." Read more

"...This cable is easy to use and exceeds any competitor. It's solid core copper. Not copper clad aluminum like some of the competitor brands." Read more

21 customers mention21 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the value of the electronic cable. They say it is well worth the price and relatively cheap.

"Top quality Cat5e CMX outdoor shielded cable at a reasonable price!..." Read more

Literally the best Cat5e CMX shielded cable I have ever used
Top quality Cat5e CMX outdoor shielded cable at a reasonable price!I install Wi-Fi networks and camera systems and this particular cable is meant for outdoor runs. When I made my choice, I went by the following criteria:1. The cable must be solid copper. Many of the runs I install are up to 300 feet and almost always to a PoE device (Power Over Ethernet). It is always a good idea to use solid copper conductors for PoE.2. The cable must be outdoor rated, with FTP (Foil Twisted Pair) aluminum shielding plus an ESD ground drain wire3. The cable must be properly documented so I can select the proper connector to use with it. I will not trust cable that is not fully documented up front.4. The cable must meet all EIA/TIA specificationstrueCABLE has properly documented the specifications on the cable and I selected the Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 Cat5/6 Shielded connector with external ground. The two most critical specifications needed are the OD or outside diameter of the cable jacket and the OD of the conductor insulation, which basically means the copper conductor diameter PLUS accounting for the insulation around the conductor. It is NOT enough that a connector says “Cat5e compatible”, nor is it enough that a particular connector says it will work with “24 AWG” conductors. Each cable manufacturer will have different ODs for the cable and conductors. In this case, the cable OD is 6.80mm and the OD of the conductor insulation is 0.97mm. After careful research, I selected the connector based upon these dimensions plus needing a shielded connector.This cable is stouter than indoor-grade cable. The jacket is thick, plus the foil shielding and waterproof tape add to the thickness. There is a rip cord inside the cable, but I did not make use of that. You should use a cable stripper when terminating cable to RJ45 connectors. For such a thick cable, you are well advised to get a heavy-duty adjustable stripper.Here is how the cable is constructed from the inside out:• Four twisted pairs (eight solid copper conductors)• Waterblock tape (basically a tough cloth wrap that blocks water from reaching the conductors if the outer jacket should be breached)• ESD drain wire (ground wire)• Overall foil shield (not cheapo metallized mylar like other brands…)• Rip cord (meh…I never use it)• Outer UV protective outdoor rated jacketI took copious pictures, showing the inside of the cable plus at various points during the process of cable termination to a RJ45 connector.Overall, I am impressed with the quality of this cable

Here is how the cable is constructed from the inside out:

• Four twisted pairs (eight solid copper conductors)
• Waterblock tape (basically a tough cloth wrap that blocks water from reaching the conductors if the outer jacket should be breached)
• ESD drain wire (ground wire)
• Overall foil shield (not cheapo metallized mylar like other brands…)
• Rip cord (meh…I never use it)

I took copious pictures, showing the inside of the cable plus at various points during the process of cable termination to a RJ45 connector.
