Review on TrueCABLE Cat6 Plenum (CMP) Industrial Electrical by Charles Galan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

faded colors, wires do not match connector

Generally bad with this cable. How about the colors of the strands? They're so blurry and faint it's hard to tell which is which. In the truest sense of the word, you can't tell orange from brown. Green and blue are easier, but you still have to be very careful. Striped strands only complicate the task, since only small pieces of faded color will speak. Second, it's difficult to slide the strands into the small piece that plugs into the RJ45 connector. And finally, in all the previous 1,000ft throws I've been through in my career, I've almost never had a bad end that needed to be cut and redone. I just finished 4 lines and 3 out of 8 are bad. I do not know why. I just don't like this cable. Otherwise, if the ends are good, the cable does what it's supposed to do, although I haven't tested the bandwidth.
