The cable is as advertised. Category 6 cable. No real problems with the product. Delivery was another problem. Someone once thought it would be a good idea to toss a 17lb spool in a thin box and cover it with a piece of paper. The packaging arrived torn on 3 sides, the wooden spool was broken, the plastic spindle inside was broken. This doesn't stop the cord from working, but it does make it harder to wind with the reels I usually use to hold my spools. Revain should give us a "Shipping Fee" option as this is (in most cases) up to them and not the seller or the product.
