Review on πŸ”Œ High-quality TrueCABLE 1000Ft Unshielded Twisted Ethernet for Reliable Network Connections by Ron Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As a data infrastructure engineer: It's a pretty good cable

This is a great Category 6 for the price. Stretches great straight out of the box, doesn't kink easily (although it's quite stiff and curly out of the box so don't give it a chance to pull in a clean line), cable sheathing is strong and thick but easy to pinch pull to be hammered. Openable with electrician's scissors, the ripcord is pretty difficult to grab when you need to use it, but it's also solid and the individual pairs themselves have constant twist (important for speed and lack of EMI). It currently feeds two 10 gigabytes (10GBASE-T) from the backplane switch to my internal servers, and when tested with iperf3 it gets the full 10 gigabytes.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good
