The cable was as advertised and performed as expected. Time will tell as to its ability to withstand the elements, but in a freshwater application there was no need to upgrade to 316 SS and I expect the 18-8, 304 SS to work well.
I bought 400 feet and used about 340 of them so far. The cable is a very good product. Recommend buying a good cable cutter with a round cutting area as the cable frays with a flat cutting edge and become difficult to thread through or into the intermediate and end cap hardware.
I just received this 2 days ago so I have not had the time to use it for my project as of yet. I will post a follow up photo when I do. This cable is of good quality. Nice weight, nice finish and yes, I would purchase this again.
