We needed just gigabit.
I see. Did the entire cable was used for 100m ? The reason I am asking is, there is a performance limit. I’ve tried using it in one of the farms and had to use alternative solutions of installing outdoor wifi with long range.
like another user said the product series differs within the same brand. I have installed legrand britzy series and I don’t like the quality. The sockets feel a little loose. I have also tried philips switches and they loose after some time. Roma also is bad in my experience. Best one I have used is Orient. I have used this in my kitchen for 2 years will frequent plug in and out runnning 1kw to 1.5kw load. They stay tight unlike other brands. Loose connection in heavy load burnt philips and roma. Haven’t tested heavy long term use with legrand one.

Yes, the entire length was used, its working well. It replaced two unifi nanostations because they were capped at 100mbps:
I really like these outdoor cables, it saves on a lot of time and effort having to crimp my own because of how affordable they are.
The regular Fedus cables are really good too, I have a bunch of them in use.
The older britzy and now allzy are ultra budget lines, meant to compete with the regular Anchor Roma. They sacrificed a lot to reach those price points.
Mylinc is the mainstream line, with Myrius being a little upscale and Arteor being their designer series.
Anchor’s Roma Plus is a really huge improvement over the regular Roma (classic?) without looking flashy or attracting attention. And it’s compatible with Roma Urban if you want a designer look.
I see. There is a ~10% which was my suspicion. But nonetheless, the quality of fedus cable, even I can vouch for them. Been using their powercable, ethernet cables as well. For the price, there isn’t anything online that can beat it.

I believe Bangalore weather is much more forgiving compared to harsh summer season of North, West & many parts in South.
100m is the theoretical limit of ethernet cable without using PoE injectors.
See my above reply. Fedus typical outdoor cable will work fine as long as weather is not too harsh. Amazon is filled with reviews of people showing pics of fedus outdoor ethernet cable breaking/disintegrating after 1-1.5 years of outdoor use & I am certain all of such reviews are from users in North/West/South with harsh summer season. Fedus also has a much more expensive “armoured” version ethernet cable available on their website with HDPE coating unlike LLDPE coating in their typical outdoor ethernet cables which sell well on amazon. In my opinion, anyone planning on using ethernet cable outside in harsh summer season regions of India should get a HDPE coating ethernet cable, LLDPE coating outdoor ethernet cable will work well in places like Bangalore but in harsh summer season places it won’t last more than 1-1.5 years of continuous outside exposure.

It can also require fiber media converter but that is additional fail point. Reliability is another factor.
I have been using in Delhi in direct sunlight and also in Rajasthan where there is direct sunlight from past couple of years no issues. There is a local jugaad we use white pvc coated pipes for safekeeping and some aluminium foils between for interference. But you are right, if someone has the budget the HDPE ethernet cables are a better choice.
In my experience, high heat ambient temperatures have been a degrading factor.

If you mean ethernet wire inside pvc pipe then that is best option as it prevents direct exposure of ethernet wire to sunlight which is the most damaging thing to any wire here.
Yes Inside the pipe with aluminum foil wrapped around the ethernet cable.
Have faced this issue alot in L&T Oris model (more expensive than engem) at our house since 2014. Have used L&T Engem at a store, which was prebuilt by builder. Removed n replaced with Osum Grip.
Can checkout Norisys Cube, Havells Crabtree Murano, Osum Grip, all these use metal backframes.
The more expensive ones are now schneider . L&T sold their switches business i think . At 18Rupees L&T 6 amp was the cheapest and reliable one .
