VIVO Black 500ft Bulk Cat5e Wire, CABLE-V011

I used this direct burial CAT5e cable to run about 120 feet from my house to my workshop so I could add a wireless access point, and it worked perfectly. The cable feels durable and well made, and I had no concerns burying it in the trench. It was also easy to terminate with RJ45 connectors, and I had no issues getting reliable connections on either end.After installation, the network has been fast and stable, and everything has worked exactly as expected. If you're looking for a quality direct burial Ethernet cable for an outdoor project, this one is a solid choice.

Good price. Signal is clear. Good flex for going around corners. 500 ft

Ordered this wire because I needed to run a line from my house to shed in the rear of my property to support network cameras. This wire came and I was able to install it with ease. I was quite shocked at how thick of insulation it has. It almost looks like a cable wire. It has an outer jacket which feels very durable and will be able to withstand the elements.The wire length ran was 200 feet based on the markings on the cable.The first black layer of insulation can easily be removed using a coax stripper. I was able to terminate jacks on the ends without issue. Now I did NOT bury my wire because it was such a long run. I figured I can always just re run it if needed. It's stapled to my fence and hidden out of sight and sunlight. I would not say I was rough with installing it however I also was not gentle either.After I terminated the lines I checked my connection using my laptop. I was able to get 1Gbps out of that 200 foot run! Now I am not using this line for POE, since its CCA I just needed to get a data line out, the sheds already have power.

It's hard to love Ethernet cable so only 4 stars. It does what it is advertised to do. I am the average Joe who was tired of streaming over the wifi so ran ethernet for blazing fast speeds, secure network, and high reliability. I was originally going to run on outside of house but went through the walls and under house instead for a cleaner setup. Data speeds are as expected. Feels very durable. As other posted noted this is the same as other cable with the extra sheathing for exterior rating. I am sure this will do fine if it was buried as long as no critters get to it. I only needed a couple of hundred feet but the last 300 are free compared to other products and who knows what gadgets will use ethernet in the future. Maybe I will trade some of it for a six pack and help out a neighbor. Unfortunately it will probably be an alarm system. Wifi is too easy to hack so ethernet is the way to go.

Cable came in and we installed it. Problem arose when the connectors were installed we discovered one of the green conductors was broken in the cable. Luckily we only needed 6 cables to get the system on line so we were able to do so. Now we don’t have a spare pair of conductors if something should happen to any of the others.

Used to run service to a workout room just outside wifi range. Great quality and seems as durable as any cable I've seen. It has been installed a few months now with no issues.

Aside from some reviews, this cable works beautifully. It's a saver on the wallet, which means it will have some degree less flexibility and durability... so no tight bends around corners etc...I'd definitely recommend it.I used the entire spool as one long patch cable, terminated each end with the usual pass-thru RJ45 butts. I know they claim leakage after approximately 327ft for CAT5/6e, but depending on your circumstances, you can easily run a repeater over 500ft from your modem with minimal signal leakage. Be sure to bury it at least 8in.

I just recieved this cable about 30 minutes ago, already had several wires snap in half upon untwisting the pairs.Edit: The wires quit breaking after getting through several feel in the spool, the cable does have a nice shield under the initial jacket but there is no ground wire so be wary about outdoor runs in the elements for PoE.

Used this to run a cable from our router at the front of the house, around the house and into a detached garage... quite a long run and silly me didn't test the cable before running it however there were no issues, it seems durable and should last well outside. a bit stiffer than non-shielded cable but has to be expected. overall great value and does the job well. we have fibre to the property and the speeds on this run are as good as being plugged in next to the router!

Cool to find a direct bury CAT 5 cable in bulk. Ran a 150 feet buried between two buildings, and it works like a charm!

Product unusable , cores break at slightest bend. Unable to return , DO NOT BUY . AVOID THIS SELLER AS HAS A NO RETURN POLICY

Cable was able to be pulled out nicely. I ran approximately 300 or 400 feet from my living room, through the floor, along the ceiling of the basement, out of the building, then buried line and ran it into my shop.

I ran 2 lines, both underground, from my house to my garage.Bought a new wifi repeater and set it up, have blazing fast internet now for looking up car parts!I was told by a friend to get the "direct burial" line because it's made with a thicker casing.This stuff is super durable and well worth the money, I even have extra left over so if I ever need to run more underground, I know what I'll be using!
