Review on 🔊 Monoprice 102821 Access Series 14AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Speaker Cable - 250ft Fire-Safe In-Wall Rated, White PVC Jacketed, 99.9% Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper by Trey Harvey

As you can see from the attached photos the coil is crappy end washers are cheap cardboard that falls apart and the middle round core is cheap plastic that breaks even during shipping. All 4 250ft boxes arrived with broken plastic cores in the middle and one cardboard side. So when you try to pull, the wire unwraps all over the floor. (See second photo.) I had the same problem with the crappy packaging of their 1000ft Cat6 network cables. If you wear them by the correct finger holes, the cardboard will rip and the build will be full of PITA. If you only want to use them for one install at home, do so. But if that's what you do for a living, grab a pass and buy a higher quality product. You must not conduct your business using these products. I've been buying Monoprice for years and they seem to have really cut corners and made things cheaper over the past 24 months. There's definitely value for money there, but the hassles and hassles are starting to erode any competitive advantages they have.
