Hi a just need 15ft cable to attach my data center what Quality cable out there I can buy.
Are you referring to the networking cable?

I ran an outdoor CAT6 cable, not sure the brand but its what was at Home Depot. It's alright cable, but I run networking cable all the time.

There are pre-fabbed cables on amazon you could get. Just make sure they outdoor rated.
