Too many knots in the box, twists per foot vary by color.

Too soft. The cable gets tangled in the box and it takes countless times to open the box to clear the jam. Once the cable is in place, it fits. I've noticed that the number of turns per inch varies by color. Green seems to have almost twice the TPI compared to brown or other cables. Despite this, I still get gig speed. Search Amazon for "itbebe 638921903195 gold plated EZ RJ45" connectors. Get these and a good quality crimping tool and terminating this cable will be very quick.

  • Computers and accessories

Very bad product. border fraud. AVOID CCA CABLES. Does not meet CAT5e specifications.

I bought a box of this 500 foot "CAT5e Ethernet Cable" to run 2 wires from my switch to my basement. I ran about 60 feet of cable at a time, connected the ends properly, and connected one end to my computer and the other to the switch. I ran a speed test and expected download speeds of 270-300 megabits as I do with my AC Wi-Fi adapter and my other homemade patch cords. nope Each of these cables had a speed of 35 megabits. I was surprised and switched different computers and it was the same. I…
