    Default Duracat Cat5e Ethernet cable

    Just taken delivery of some new Ethernet cable and it looks pretty damned good...

    It's called Duracat and is made up of heavily rubberised shielded cable. Looks like it will withstand one hell of a beating and is flexible enough to coil up nicely without tying itself in knots...

    It wasn't cheap, but for anyone on the road it is perfect....

    Here's the data sheet: http://www.fuzion.co.uk/ftproot/Fuzi..._Datasheet.pdf

    Nice!

    That's sure to be tougher than the PVC jacket on normal cat5.. sheilded too.. nice!

    I recon you'll see less tangles and birdsnests from now on!



    Kind Regards,

    Nigel.

    Looks like Kelsey cable - I use Kelsey power cable & distribution kit which is top notch.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Nice looking stuff. Interesting to see how much a 500m roll costs.

    A group buy could smoke a 500m roll in no time.

    Does anyone know of a similar product in Australia?

    I use CAT5 (stranded) for my DMX and Interlock cables and I have not killed it so far *crosses fingers* but it would be nice to have a more robust cable

    That cable looks really nice. I am still waiting for the rest of the world to catch up and start using M12 connectors (limited to 100mbps)!
