LOGICO Best Cat6 Shielded Cable 1000ft STP/FTP Ethernet Direct Burial 23AWG CCA

I don't usually write reviews, but this stuff is unusable. I'm a very much DIY person and have run probably 3 to 4,000 ft of cat 6 before and I've never had trouble terminating it. This cable is impossible to terminate. It's way too thick, even with connectors that specifically are supposed to accept larger cable, it still doesn't fit. I eventually had to call out a local low voltage expert to come and terminate it, and after several hours he insisted we needed to do new runs with thinner cable and he couldn't work with it either. I definitely do not recommend. I've never had trouble like this before with other cable and even an expert who does this for a living wasn't able to work with it. Neither the shielded wire nor the twisted pair wires fit within a cat6 connector expecting enlarged and oversized cables, nor is it able to be punched down into keystones.

If you're looking for heavy duty Cat6 cable, this is it. Be forewarned though, this stuff is thick and does not bend easy like normal ethernet cable. The quality is good and I haven't had an issue with it. I used it to run outside POE security cameras. If you plan on trying to use standard RJ45 connectors to terminate, think again. The ones I bought first didn't work. This stuff is way too thick. Just like the other guy, I had to buy staggered Cat6 connectors. I used the pass through kind, then used a flush cutter to cut off the excess once I crimped the end. Just for reference, I used these connectors, which have a larger diameter opening inside the connector. They made a huge difference when passing the wire through. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SQLBZJQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Overall, I'm satisfied with the cable, especially for the price.

I'm sure to make it able to go underground, it has to be a thick cover. It takes a bit of bending to get the roll bend out of it. The cable doesn't go into standard ends. My cat7 ends work fine though. The ground works better with the metal cat7 anyway which is a bonus.

Good heavy wire

I purchased this cable to run to 4K security cameras outside my home. The cable seems durable and the twists are solid. The 23 AWG wire is very thick and won’t fit in Cat6 RJ45 connectors. I need a solution please. I cannot rate this product properly until I can terminate the ends. Update: I am giving this an additional two stars because I did not order the right RJ45 connectors. I had to purchase staggered 4 up 4 down RJ45 connectors and everything is working great.

The wire feels and looks extremely strong. Probably be able to pull a car with it. LOL Just made a 15' cord to try the wire and my new Klein Crimpers. I am a Plumber by Trade but, have always done all my own networking. With these new push thru connectors and that tool, it worked great on the first try. I have to run over 325 feet in a conduit and upgraded to this wire. Another section 250 feet is going to be Aerial. Not sure how that will hold up but, we shall find out. This is upgrading from an ancient regular cat 4 that barley connected at these distances. My research led me to believe this will help my network out a lot. It will be slower speeds than it is capable of running at length but, it will improve what I am working with hopefully. To conclude. This wire is Priced right and worth it. Very Happy with it.
