Smedz CAT6 100 m Full Solid Copper UTP 24 AWG Indoor/Outdoor Plug and Play Network Cable GigaBit Ethernet Patch Lead – Black

I have my home office in the garage at the back of the garden about 40 feet away. Up until now I'd used wifi extenders and even a power line adaptor which worked ok, but had reliability issues and would drop speed significantly.So, I thought it was about time to run a cable to the back. I've had this cable for 2 weeks and it has been one of the best investments I've made. Super fast internet that has yet to lag or cause any issues.

The cables are good quality and transmit power over 400m with PoE. the signal strength is good and are fit for purpose. However the shipping let them down. The inadequate shipping boxes allowed other heavy things to crush the box and cables leaving serious dents in the insulation from the binding ties in multiple loops. I hope that this does not dreduce the lifetime of these cables.

I used this to wire up my outdoor Poe 4k cameras. The cable is about 6mm (I ordered 7mm clips and these were too big). Its full copper cable, which was easy to cut and add new cat 6 connectors onto.It feels far better quality than the cables that came with my cctv system and hope it gives me years of service.Before I cut the cable down, I did test it by plugging a camera into one end the other into my NVR just to be sure that it was working.

Although I gave this 5 stars for thickness and studiness, I didn't have way to find out. To find out thickness as to the 24 AWG, the only way is a destructive test, in measuring it. As to the sturdiness, this is another destructive test in twisting actions.What I did was I installed it from inside the house, threaded it through to the loft, exited the loft and then down the garden to a shed, threaded into the shed. Although this took two hours, the cable survived the turns as any cable should of this length! This has been working for four months.

Needing to have wi-fi in an outbuilding 75 metres away from the house and BT master router, I dreaded trying to find something (again) that could beam this distance. It became obvious I needed to hard wire, except that it is iPads at the other end. I attached a WAVLINK Wireless Wi-Fi Booster Range Extender (about which I have also given a five-star review) with two ethernet ports. The cable looks weatherproof enough to trail across a paddock but considering we are moving next year and I will take the roll with me, I'm not going to do any permanent burying in tubing or stringing overhead. The choice of cable was dictated by it being plug and play, that is, it has plugs already on each end. Otherwise you start paying out for crimping tools and things. The only quibble with cable of this length is the time it takes to unroll it neatly. I am now looking for an empty cable roll to wind it back on to eventually. Highly recommended.
