Review on CAT6A Plenum (CMP) 1000Ft Bulk Ethernet Cable Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Dan Sturm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality cable, but be prepared.

The Plenum class cable is not for the faint hearted. If you are running this cable through walls or through rooms to different floors, be prepared to have multiple patients as you cannot use this class of cable like standard Cat6. Running this cable will likely double installation time depending on whether you are working alone or have help. Of course, the extra width will require you to drill slightly larger holes, and if you're using ribbed boots, the standard size won't fit. Find or order a good pair, thread them through cable crimps and prepare for the twisted pair to untwist. A tiny mini wire stripper in addition to your standard wire cutters comes in very handy for cutting the outer jacket of a cable. The shell is very durable.

Pros
  • ✅ 100% PURE COPPER CONDUCTORS: Pure copper conductors carry a stronger signal that can handle greater lengths without distortion. Pure copper is very flexible and malleable compared to other conductors, which means you can use pure copper conductor cable in complex installations without fear of the cable strands breaking during installation or over many years in the cable.
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
