Cable has been twisted into a coil approximately 26 feet. I noticed this before I started but installed the cable anyway. I knew I only needed about 120-125 feet and decided to take a chance. It worked out fine in the end, but when I needed the full 150ft I ordered it was returned immediately. It's also worth noting that this cable is stranded and not a solid conductor. At this price I was expecting one skein. Just thought I'd share this discovery in case it's important to others. *Update*Cable Matters contacted me and offered a replacement. I informed them that the cable had already been cut and installed and they offered a partial refund to fix the faulty cable. It's nice to know that they support their product. I'll buy more if needed.
