Review on πŸ”Œ InstallerParts Ethernet Cable CAT6A Booted: Ideal for Industrial Electrical Wiring & Connecting by Calvin Chavva

Revainrating 3 out of 5

New cable specifications?

I have been ordering Cat6A cables from Installer Parts for many years with consistent results and good cable performance. My last order was for some 75 foot Cat6A cables and I received some "new" thin Cat6A cables and some cables with the "thicker" Cat6A cables that I usually get. The only difference in the description of the sheath was that the 'new' thinner cable was marked 'CM type' and the thicker cable was marked 'CMX type', which is what I usually get. I sent back the "new" thinner cables because they are different than the ones I've received over the past few years. If Installer Parts makes significant changes to its product, this must be clearly stated in the product description. It is not acceptable to ship different versions of the same product without updating the product description, explanations and notices. I don't know if the 'new' thinner ethernet cable is better or worse for my application but it's different and it was unexpected and unwanted and because it's inexplicable I don't trust it. Since I no longer know what to expect, I will switch to another cable provider.

Pros
  • Ethernet cable
Cons
  • Only available in black
