Is it 3G rated?

Answer This Question

Per the description it states "Can be used in the place of CMP, CMR, CMG, CM and CMX cables". CMX means the cable has an outdoor rated jacket. Is it safe to run going through the wall to a security camera mounted on the wall of the exterior?

Answer This Question

While the product description states it "Can be used in the place of CMP, CMR, CMG, CM and CMX cables", the specifications indicate it is for "Indoor" use only. CMX cables are specifically designed for outdoor use, featuring a jacket resistant to sunlight and moisture. Therefore, although this cable might work temporarily for your security camera, it's not recommended for long-term outdoor use. For exterior applications, using a cable specifically rated for outdoor environments is safer and ensures better performance and longevity.

Is it rated for conduit underground
ByDec 19, 2023

Answer This Question

This cable is designed for in-wall and under raised floor use for computer and data wiring. While it can be used within conduit, it is not specifically designed for direct burial underground. If you need to run cable underground, it's recommended to use a cable rated for direct burial.

    Answer This Question

    Hi Gabriel. Thank you for shopping at the Home Depot. According to the manufacturer, this cable is for use in walls and under raised floors for computer and data wiring. It does feature 4 pairs of copper conductors and PVC insulation, but it is designed for indoor use only. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

          Yes. I have used this in the past to run phone lines. Just be sure to have the RJ-11 connectors pinned out correctly.

          Nobody runs phone lines like what you are thinking anymore. Even isp provider will suggest Voip instead as they no longer service that older technology

            Customers say the cable offers good value for its price, with many appreciating its ease of installation and solid performance for various applications. While the product is generally reliable for home use, some users noted issues with the cable's outer jacket being thin and prone to kinking, which could complicate longer runs. Overall, the cable is well-received for its functionality, though some customers expressed a desire for better packaging and clearer length markings.

            I like the soft (annealed) pure copper that is not brittle. I have purchased more than 10 (1000ft) boxes from Home Depot and have not had a problem with this cable on any of my installations. It may cost more than other cabling available online but I prefer to spend extra for the peace of knowing that I am using an excellent product.

            I used this to run data cable to each room in our new construction home. The box makes it easy to run the cable without worrying about it getting all tangled up. 1000ft will go a very long ways when cabling an entire house. I know that CAT6 cable is available now, but the speeds at which Cat5e can run, this is more than enough for the next good while. I used this to also run cables for our home security cameras that have the option of being wired or wireless. The great thing about running wire is we do not need to worry about getting good wifi signal to those cameras. This is a great product at a fantastic price.

            The quality of this product is great, easy to manage, also great durability, whether to run cable on a riser, or make custom size patch cables, this is my preferred option.

            Biggest issue I have with this cable is the lack of foot marks. It actually does have marks on it, but they are not 0-1000 but manufacture marks that are in the 80000 range. You have to look at the beginning mark and then subtract 1000 from that and write it on the box. Then when you need to know how much cable is in the box you have to do the math. If you forget to write the number on the box, you are screwed. As far as the pulling of the cable, I didn't have any issues there. It seems to come right out with no kinks. After the cable is out of the box, it does tangle easy, but I feel all cable does that once it's out of the box. The jacket is tight on the cable do if you use one of the strippers you could nick the cable, I don't use one so that's not a big deal to me. The conductors are spot on in my book and I've had no issues with the performance of the cable.

              It would merit 5 * except the center conductor is copper clad steel instead of solid copper.
