I connected my house to this. Completed 22 runs (4 bedroom house, office and home theater). Works perfectly. This is true Cat6 cable with a pair breaker (a plastic element in the cable that separates each pair to reduce interference). It's also 23awg, which is in line with the spec. Some companies use 24 AWG because they pass a cable certification tool (Fluke, etc.). For me, passing the test is one thing and being built for it is another. This is the third box of this cable I've bought (has worked at my church and friends house) and it always works well.
