🔌 VIVO Blue 250ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable, CCA, 24 AWG, UTP Pull Box, Cat-5e Wire, Indoor for Network Installations - CABLE-V013B Review

Very lightweight unshielded cable, thin outer jacket, no internal twisted pair splitter, suitable for indoor use. Doesn't lay flat due to hundreds of kinks in the box (250ft spool). Single core wires are easy to straighten and crimp. It seems to work well with low bitrate compressed IP cameras.

As other sellers have pointed out, this is a very poor quality cable. Forget running PoE on this one. Very unstable. Forget Gigabit Ethernet. Cables break so easily. There is very little copper on it which scratches easily exposing another metal. Can't work with this cable, one run took 2 hours, the other showed problems after 1 week. I do not recommend. Don't waste your money on it.

My fingers got burned remaking countless RJ45 ends, thinking it was a lack of craftsmanship, but I conclude that the problem is with this cable lies. I have routed/rerouted cables for Cisco IP cameras and HDMI converters/extenders. I tested it with a different cable and it works fine. This cable may not be designed for audio/video transmission.

When I started pulling the cable there was some resistance, then I pulled about 75 feet and it stopped. I had to cut open the box to find that the problem was that the cable was kinked and stuck in the neck of the feed guide. This cut the wires and made the first 75 feet dead had to cut them! (shorter cables can be made from this wire) PROBLEM - poorly designed feed guide, it has a sharp edge, not smoothly rounded! I ended up removing the rest of the cable and had to tug on it and have a helper

Making Ethernet cables is easy. I have testers and all the necessary tools for this, but the cable reel I received was terrible. There were so many kinks on the spool when I unraveled it that I couldn't get a 10 foot length that wasn't affected. Do yourself a big favor and buy ready-made products of the right length. Always buy a grade higher than you need. This will help in the long run. CAT7 with gold connectors is currently the best thing to buy even if you don't need to operate at the…

Ran about 25-30 feet and seems great quality. My box was sealed with tape and the cord knotted about 15-20 feet inside the bag. I had to pull so hard that the plastic wire holder broke out of the box, forming one big whole. This is my first time buying such a cable, so I don't know if it's typical to tie it with a knot and tape the box together. Looks like I have one that split open and someone taped it back up. I think the knot should be on the other end, but they flipped it when assembling…
