Review on VIVO Gray 1,000ft Bulk Cat5e Ethernet Cable: Ideal for Indoor Network Installations and High-Speed Connectivity - CCA, 24 AWG, UTP Pull Box, Cat-5e Wire (CABLE-V001) by James Vilchez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

When you buy cheap CAT5 cable, you get cheap!

The Cat5e table that came in this box appears to bend and twist about every 5 to 10 feet. So I spend more time untangling cable kinks. I am not satisfied with the quality of this cable, if I had the opportunity to use it straight after purchase I would probably return it as a dissatisfied buyer of this product. The problem is that I ordered it a long time ago because I knew I had to renovate my house. I would have happily waited and bought the cable when I was ready to use it so I would see the right quality. instead of sitting around for a year waiting for work to start. If I've learned anything from buying it, it's that you don't buy it until you're going to use it. I personally would not buy this cable again due to the many kinks. To me this means that the cable hasn't been properly wound on the spools and any time you have a kink in the cable there is a chance that the internal cables will be damaged. You run into problems in it every now and then, with so many kinks you never know where the problem is. This is just my experience after using this product. Once again the biggest problem is that it has so many creases that I would buy it again.

Pros
  • Cat 5e cable
Cons
  • Lightly dented
