FiveStar Cable 1000 Ft Review

The cable is technically the same as CAT5e, but is generally one of the smaller cable classes I've worked with. The outer PVC jacket is so thin that the cable can be kinked extremely easily when exiting the box. I mean, if you're doing some house wiring, you'll probably be fine. If you're doing commercial work or somewhere that's subject to some degree of wear and tear, spend the extra money and buy the next pack of better quality cables.

Very pleased with the cable quality and condition upon arrival. I think some reviews said it came with 25 ends but I didn't know that and the fact that the ends were skipped really unified my whole purchase because I also ordered a pass-through pliers on the same day have.

I have never run Cat 5e, it was my first time and the cable was fine. Can't compare to other brands but the wires have been brittle on a few occasions and it seemed like this wire was a bit prone to kinks but again this was my first time running a cable so never mind. to my rating.

Needed something quick and I missed the fact that it was marked CCA. The product is not pure copper and does not meet Cat 5e standards. CCA has lower tensile strength and higher internal resistance and becomes brittle over time.

This product will fail immediately. Bulk Cat5E cable really has one and only one requirement (besides meeting the requirements for Cat5E, which this cable doesn't meet as it's primarily aluminum wire) – it must be easy to pull. This cable is terrible - it gets twisted and twisted all the time. I started pulling it and could only do about 10 feet at a time which sucks. Compared to a freshly emptied case of General Cable Cat5E (which pulls beautifully), that's utter nonsense. With the General…

As many reviews say this is a CCA. I wouldn't use it for POE, and while I agree it won't hit true C5E speeds, it does a decent job. I bought it with the intention of using it for my network cameras, for which it does an excellent job. I've also used it on several 100MB devices around the house (media players, printers, etc.). It works fine for her. I'm not sure what they did, but the cable was easy to work with. It's a little stiff, so be careful when running it up walls, it can snag and buckle

very brittle wire that breaks when cut. I haven't tested the crease, but it looks like it will snap on one severe crease or a few tight kinks. copper clad aluminum so it's properly labeled and you know what you're getting but I wasn't expecting it to be so brittle. I use it for both cable routing and small breadboard wires and always use your fingernails when stripping. The insulation strips very easily and any cuts or scrapes on the wire with a standard wire stripper will immediately create a…
