Review on πŸ”Œ Premium CAT6 Plenum Cable 1000ft (CMP) - Fluke Networks DTX-1800 Tested, 23AWG Solid Conductor 550MHz by Kevin Schnitzer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Had high hopes for ethernet cable

Got this product to run some new network wiring while we are finishing up our basement. The cable is very well stretched with almost no kinks or tangles. I ran 8 lines and none of them were over 100 feet. Luckily I decided to test to make sure everything worked before laying the drywall because none of the high speed lines were connected. POE works, but most lines don't get a connection. Several lines are connected, but at 10 or 100 Mbit/s instead of 1 Gbit/s as they should. Tried several times to redo the connections with no change. In the end I gave up and bought a new cable. If we come back here and take a closer look at some of the reviews, they mention that this cable is CCA and not copper, which is probably one of the factors. I had high hopes when I pulled it anyway, but it doesn't matter how well the cable pulls if it doesn't work when everything is set.

Pros
  • ethernet cable
Cons
  • something else
