Hello, As a follow-up to the "Capitol Peak cable system failure" email, here are the samples I would like to order and evaluate for use in all our future deploys: Item Description Qty Cost Total Water blocking CAT6 cable, 1000ft <https://www.truecable.com/products/cat6-direct-burial-ethernet-cable-shielded?variant=13951848841283> 1 $199.99 $199.99 Water blocking CAT5e cable, 1000ft <https://www.truecable.com/products/cat5e-direct-burial-ethernet-cable-shielded> 1 $158.99 $158.99 BCU158M7 Multi-Hole Universal Barrel Cushion <https://www.sitepro1.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=5661> 1 $42.50 $42.50 TOTAL, excluding tax and shipping $401.48 I know 500ft spools of the cables are available, but the $/ft there is much worse, and whichever spool we choose will be deployed in the field. The other spool can be used up for indoor wiring, from surge arresters onwards. --Bart
