Review on CAT6 Plenum Cable 1000Ft (CMP) Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Had high hopes for computer accessories and peripherals

network cables when we finish 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 redoing the end connections several times 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 for the pull anyway, but it doesn't matter how well the cable pulls if it doesn't work when everything is in place.

Pros
  • SAFE AND SECURE PACKAGING SIMPLE PULL BOX: Cat6 Ethernet Cable 1000ft Ideal for a smooth, flexible and very easy installation. Every 1000 feet (305 meters) of cable has a "feet" counter, making cable measurement really easy. The Cat6 plenum ethernet cable can be unpacked or unpacked and hung on the shoulder to remove for installation
Cons
  • The cable will be shorter than other options
