We need to run this cable underground in a trench 1000 ft. What quality of signal can we expect at the 1000ft mark?

Hello Jennifer,The max on the Cat5e is about 328ft. Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Sorry, but I have not used it for a long run as a 1000 ftTry using a cat 6 instead.

The max distance you can run Ethernet is 100 meter or approximately 328ft. Unless you're using some kind of exotic equipment other than standard Ethernet switches, you'll want to look at fiber instead. That being said, if you're running this for POTS phone, you'll be fine.

Thats beyond cat5 range as you know. I suggest running a shielded pvc insulated cable for max throughput, and it may still not work.

The cable itself is fantastic but at that distance you're going to need a booster. I ran 400 ft outdoors and the signal was pretty weak dropped it down to 300 ft added a booster and we were rocking. Regardless of brand Cat5 isn't meant for that long of distances.

First of all, I would not recommend any lengths longer than 300 feet if data strength and reliability is important. This pertains to cable from any manufacturer. Here's a test. Place a fitting on each end of the cable while it's still in the box. Connect each end to your equipment and and check if it works for you. For this length, I would recommend either in-line repeaters or better yet, use a fiber optic cable.

You can run cat5 ethernet up to 300ft without signal loss. Any further you will need a signal repeater.

I saved over buying the 1000mb ones since 100mb is plenty. You will never get close to transferring 100mb over power lines, let alone 1000mb. Ideally, you will get at best, 80mb. I get around 50mb in my house because the wiring is a bit older.

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.

I don't know as we don't have outlets that are 1000 feet apart so I can't even test it for you!

I've used this cable throughout my new house... I didn't realize it was underground rated... NP though and the price was still right... Had issues with some quad connectors not fitting, but that's on them, not the cable.

I would use a high grade for 100-150 feet, electrical requires thicker wire the longer the run if you will

This cable is maybe just a little over 1/8" round. Signals carries well even tho its a thin cable. Its easy to run in the walls or attic. I've run one of these cables about 150' with no signal loss. Good cable over all.

Just remember POE over long distances will be a problem.... its not solid copper... that's why its cheaper....its great for data only up to 600 feet +

Standard should be 10 meters. I have used this on my home stereo and can go from one room to another a signal doesn't break. Concrete walls can cut the signal.

Yes, this cable is rated for underground use. I have had great experience with this cable outdoors and I highly recommend it!

I started having trouble with the cable right about 100ft. I did have a couple runs about 150ft, but I ended up having to purchase a 1000ft box of 18/2 and run it to just about all the locations over 100ft.

I am running gigabit Ethernet error free on a 150 foot run of this stuff. I have also done POE over the cable. The high frequency energy for the gbe signalling only travels on the outside surface (the skin) of the conductor, so the fact that it is copper clad is a non issue for performance. The only possible issue is DC resistance, and that would matter only if you are doing POE with a load more than 6W, at a distance more than 200 feet from the POE source. The reason this is copper cad aluminium is to save money and weight.

There will be a loss in signal, but how much spends on how far you run the cable.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..
