Review on CAT6 Plenum Cable 1000Ft (CMP) by Chase Hosea

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Had high hopes for computer accessories and peripherals

Bought this product to introduce some new networking lines while we finish our basement. The cable is very well stretched with almost no kinks or tangles. I ran 8 lines and none of them were over 100 feet. Luckily I decided to test to make sure everything worked before laying the drywall because none of the high speed lines were connected. POE works, but most lines don't get a connection. Several lines are connected, but at 10 or 100 Mbit/s instead of 1 Gbit/s as they should. Tried several times to redo the connections with no change. In the end I gave up and bought a new cable. If we come back here and take a closer look at some of the reviews, they mention that this cable is CCA and not copper, which is probably one of the factors. I had high hopes when I pulled it anyway, but it doesn't matter how well the cable pulls if it doesn't work when everything is set.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
