Review on CAT6 Plenum (CMP) 1000Ft Bulk Ethernet Cable by Michael Schwegman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It is difficult to uncoil and crimp RJ45.

It would be unfair to only list the cons, so I've included the positives as well. I've used 1000ft of cord and made thousands of drops. Here's what I think about this cable brand: Pros: The positive is the color of the cable. The pairs are colored so as not to be confused with orange and brown. Thanks very much! Cons: First, it's very difficult to spin a pair and once you've done it, it's very difficult to pull them together to plug in an RJ45 jack. If you're using EZ type connectors with front holes, this becomes a nightmare. Cables get stuck in holes and twist, and you have to use pliers to pull them out. If you do 2-3 drops I think it's ok but if you do more your hands will hurt. You end up spending twice as much time with a connector compared to other cables. Just my opinion.
