Review on TrueCABLE Cat5E Riser (CMR) by Mark Greenwood

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A piece of scrap wire - keeps kinking and twisting itself when using the payout reel

This is the worst CAT5 I've ever dealt with. It kept kinking after we pulled a length of cable out of the box. The strangest thing was that he wanted to kill himself. You will have a clean looking cable, but if you examine it there will be a kink that will be catastrophic for conductivity. Unfortunately, we had walked about 800 feet of this material before we found this problem. We ripped it all out and took it and the other box with us. Even weirder, this only happened with the RED wire. Green was ok - no idea why one color fits and the other doesn't, but it was the same in all boxes. Definitely do not recommend this cable - I would give 0 stars if I could.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
