kenable External SHIELDED CAT6A Outdoor Use COPPER Ethernet Cable S/FTP Reel 50m White [50 metres]

I have used this cable to re-wire my house for Ethernet with good results.Currently this runs 2.5Gbe but should be good for 10Gbe assuming you've used CAT6A RJ45 keystone / modules. If you intend to terminate RJ45, make sure the connectors can take thicker wires, mine did not and required better connectors.While not as thick as other cables, it is still 8mm and may require wall holes to be redone as well as using larger wall clips. It does route well, better than some CAT5A/CAT6 cable with plastic core and will stay in place.

This reel is great. Quality of cable is brilliant and provides high quality connection.Wire feels a little thicker than others when trying connect RJ45, which made it quite fiddly. Once it’s all connected, the quality is great

This is great for external or structured cabling, and is capable of 10gbs with the appropriate equipment, as i did receive speeds of 10gbps connected to both Cisco and Netgear switch stacks over a 60m span. If however, you have normal household switches and routers you will be lucky to negotiate speeds above 100mbps for lengths above 15meters, below this length you should get the prescribed 1gbs with your everyday household equipment, i did notice this the twists were nowhere near that of utp cabling but that might just be the standard, i am no cabling expert. In short, If you plan to use this cable you will also need to upgrade your equipment, especially for longer runs. Hopefully, this helps someone purchasing this cable. And no, it doesn’t matter what cat 6a connector you use. 4 stars Given as i could get 10gbps speed but i did not want to introduce another piece of equipment. towards the end, as this was so puzzling i managed to get my hands on a fluke tester and the thing i noticed across all switches was that the link-level was low. according to the documentation, this could be down to attenuation as the switchports are all fine. This is very strange but as i said it does negotiate to 10gbps over a 60m span and it will do 1gbps on shorter runs below 15m.

Used all the 50M to connect the house to the shed, works wellYou will need cat 6 connectors as the individual vires are thick.

Value for money

You get what you pay for and this is great stuff.

Great cable works exactly as you would expect.I didn't find anywhere in the description of questions about the size of cable clips required.8mm are the exact fit.I spent a lovely hour in the sun running this outside my house just so I could have internet in the dead spot we call the extension at my house, if had thought when the builders were here it could have gone under the floor.I guess I'm just not very bright

Used this to upgrade old cat5 so get full fibre speed., works well get full 940 of my router.
