I know the title may be hard to believe. However, I've had issues with this cable for over a month and have been painstakingly troubleshooting the problem. Every time it rains, my PoE devices stop working. I have to go out, physically dry off the outer jacket of the cable, and plug the devices back in before they will work again. Outdoor, direct burial, gel filled, pure copper cable should not stop working when it gets wet.

The cable is as described and works well. BUT, there is no "rip cord" to assist in cutting back the cable ends for connectorization. Just be careful not to cut the conductors.

Monoprice continues to be the "go to" shop for my network cabling needs. I've been consistently happy with all that i have purchased from them. Hope they are around for a long time since i have many projects planned in the future.
