Review on 🔗 C2G 56006 Cat5e Bulk Cable - Unshielded Ethernet Network Cable with Solid Conductors, CMR-Rated Riser, TAA Compliant, Blue (500ft, 152.4m) - Made in USA: Enhance SEO by Jerome Pritchard

Trash! I bought it because I was looking for a reliable, once-for-a-lifetime cable. I didn't know much about phone cords, but I learned quite a bit about RJ11 cords, crimping and wiring thanks to this horrible cord that gave me a lot of trouble. In short, these cables are made with very poor quality control and I had to take apart and reassemble mine to get it working. I spent twice as much on this cable trying to fix it because it would take me 4 hours of sweaty, nasty work to remove everything needed to replace. So I decided to invest my money and time in crimping machines and training. Bought this for a solar installation, I buried this wire deep in the electronics outlet, assuming it will work when the time comes. HOWEVER this is not the case, my first guess was that it was a problem with my devices as no reputable company would sell faulty phone cords, but I was very wrong. In the application you will find a picture of the connectors. You can barely see the colors of the wires, but there are 4 wires for the phone cord: green, white/green, orange, and white/orange. White-Green and Green are a pair of stranded wires, Orange and White-Orange are another pair of stranded wires, they are twisted together to prevent signal interference from their other colored counterparts. When crimping the cable, white-green/green and white-orange/orange should be next to each other. BUT my wires weren't crimped properly and the order was green, orange, white-green, white-orange. Why the wires didn't work in my electrical setup, they might have worked if they weren't surrounded by other electronics I don't know. However, I can tell you that once you cut their ends off and crimped them back in the correct order, they work perfectly. I can't say enough how disappointed and angry I was when I realized I had been sold a bad cable after installing it so deeply into my electrical installation. Maybe that's why all Chinese goods pay so much attention.
