OOSSXX 100ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable for POE Security Camera Systems

I have had Poe cameras for over 16 years. These 100ft cables have never failed me and my video recordings have never been distorted.

Was what I wanted

Liked it , perfect for indoor and outdoor

Sometimes you don't want to take the time to custom make ethernet cables and mess with the pinouts. If you agree with this statement, this is a pretty convenient way to get the cable length you need without the extra materials, tools, and time it would take to make them yourself. These are nice quality cables and carry a PoE signal with power just fine. The waterproof connectors are a nice touch. Use them if they make sense in your installation, or just don't use them if you don't need them. The cables themselves are not marked (are they Cat 5, Cat5e, etc..) so it's hard to tell what they are rated for exactly. I can tell that they are NOT Cat 6 because the cables are too thin for there to be any shielding present. I would not attempt daisy-chaining these together for a long PoE run given the lack of labeling and how thin the cables are. Most of the Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables that I use are thicker than these. That gives me some pause, but I suppose flexibility can be advantageous in some installation scenarios. Based on the size alone though, I would opt not to use these as uplinks where several devices are sharing bandwidth. They would be fine for connections to a single PoE device, as you're typically not going to be needing maximum wire gauge and bandwidth when using them that way.

Used these to extend a Costco security camera setup. Matched up exactly

Overall a good deal if the cable length works for you. They function just as many others do, but this cable thickness does give a nice assurance that your signal will pass through well. Of course it's plug and play so very easy to use.

DO NOT BUY.... These are virtually useless to me. Bought them to set up my POE cameras and expected to split them, but it was only reading one camera at a time. I eventually realized it only has 4/8 wires. Now I'm stuck with these excessively long useless cables and can't return them because I took too long to install. See photos to see wires inside.

Works perfect for my security cameras.
