It is NOT solid copper wire. Please read about Copper Clad Aluminum!

The cable pulls out of the box easily and feels solid. I installed everything in my new house but ended up ripping it all out and replacing it with solid copper. Please read about copper clad aluminum. It's cheaper and probably fine for most home uses, but it wasn't worth the $60 saved to me. I paid extra for part of my sanity. I cannot recommend this product as I have not used it. I'm only writing this review to make someone else think twice and not repeat everything like I did.

Pros
  • Cat6 4/UTP, HDPE/PVC Unshielded Twisted Pair
Cons
  • Receptacle required

Bad choice for longer distances

For some reason this cable doesn't work with a PoE wireless access point 170 feet away. Performance was low and the cable failed gigabit tests. Continued to show problems on the orange pair. Run a different length from the same box and got the same problem again. I finally ran some Cat5s I had (different brand) and it worked great. While this Cat6 cable has worked well for less than 100 feet, I will not be purchasing this item again.

Pros
  • Cat6 4/UTP HDPE/PVC Unshielded Twisted Pair
Cons
  • Can't remember

False advertising. Doesn't even transfer data

Be careful. This is an unacceptable cable for pretty much anything. I've just used 4 different lengths of this POE security scrap only to find out that it has virtually no copper in it. When you peel it off it appears like copper, but when you cut it open you only see silver. Only 1 piece of cable works with my cameras, it seems to be under 90ft. Anything further than 100 feet won't even work. I am very upset with this purchase, huge waste of time waiting for it to show up then time to execute…

Pros
  • Working quantity 'feet' printed on cable makes measuring easier
Cons
  • Other Other
