Review on FiveStar Cable 1000 Ft by Matt Chirila

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fail, Fail, Fail -- Epic Fail

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 cable I was able to pull over 50 feet at a time the same way (some photos attached). This box will be returned.
