I ordered 2 50ft cables. Was planning on running them both outside, but change of plans so they went indoors. Delivered in less than a week, which was good. I had set up Ethernet connections to use with my router and network switch, for my TV?s and computer. I terminated one of the cables into 2 diff runs. First time doing it , it was easier than I thought. The one I terminated I ran from the switch to one tv , using Roku for YouTube tv and other apps. Went from wifi speed of around 35-44 mbps to wired connection of around 91mbps!! My other tv , Sony Bravia I used the whole 50 ft connection. Went from around 240 mbps wifi to between 78-89 Mbps wired. Not sure why it?s so much slower speed with the Ethernet. Other than that I think the cable is good and easy to terminate. I?ll have to see if there?s a reason for the slower speed.
I installed this to hard-wire the data connection for my solar inverter, which is located on the outside of my house. I was worried that rain and UV would deteriorate the exposed portion of the cable insulation, and a normal cable wouldn't last over time. This one has a hard PVC outer insulation - similar (though not quite as sturdy) as the ones Comcast buries underground. I'm counting on it lasting a long time.
