Review on High-Quality UL Listed in-Wall Rated Cat6 Bulk Cable - 1000 Feet, Black by Tiger Carpani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cable Matters Cat 6 In-Wall (CM) Ethernet Cable Purple

I needed an ethernet cable to connect my new home wiring closet to the internet. After some research I decided to use CAT6 instead of CAT5e. In addition to the higher MHz rating, an internal plastic splitter helps increase the cable's tensile strength. Very impressed with the speed of delivery from Revain Prime. It was almost too fast as I made a few mistakes in the order. Note that there are other cable ratings, e.g. for riser cables (I only needed them for in-wall applications), and be careful not to order stranded wires, which are commonly used for patch cords. The pull box arrived in good condition. I had to put tape on one box to keep it in place after some use but otherwise no problem. All cable routes have been tested and are now in use. I definitely recommend this Cable Matters product. The only very minor issue was that it wasn't available with blue outer insulation, but purple was fine with me as a second option. Update January 2016: Additional cable runs were installed using all but a few feet of the box. All runs went well. Had to replace the Cat5 series which the installer put in from his separate material (different brand) which has not been tested. Now you need to install some PoE security IP cameras and buy another box.
