Value for money UTP copper cable. This is NOT copper clad aluminum junk! Your search is over!

I have no professional networking experience, although I study at school. I recently installed a few computers around the house and didn't want to pay exorbitant prices for pre-made cables. I also wanted to be able to build some cables using what I learned from the course. It took me a while to find copper cable at a bargain price, but that's about it. I only ran a few wires around the house so I didn't need a 1,000 foot box of wires. The 250 feet that came with the kit suited me well. What I liked about it is that it didn't come in a box but on a roll. There were no kinks when pulling the cord off the spool, and a few twists removed most of the loops. I had no tangles with this cable. I don't have advanced test equipment so I can't comment on how well this cable meets current Cat5e standards in real world conditions, but I have a basic test set and all the cables I've made have worked flawlessly. I didn't notice any problems, everything works just as well as before, and for this DIY job that's enough for me.

Pros
  • Bandwidth 350MHz
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
