Review on GearIT Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable: 200 Feet, In Wall & Direct Burial, CCA Copper Clad by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Meets my cable and connection needs

This cable meets my needs. It's good that this is a direct dig, but if you have the time and want more permanent wiring, I recommend using conduit and digging deeper. But I just needed something temporary until we remodel our house. As with any cable, it was a bit difficult to straighten and tended to twist if you tried to bury it. Another reason why a channel could be useful. You will also need a drill about 1 inch in diameter for a hole big enough to put the RJ45 connector through. If you are better equipped and familiar with tools to replace wire strippers and RJ45 connectors. I would recommend that you buy the cable without the connector already attached so you can drill a smaller hole. However, with the help of patching the walls and overlays, we patched the holes for the insulation, and the panels closed the hole. At the moment I gave him a good mark in every respect. I may have to update this review if durability issues arise. But so far it works very well.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
