Review on FiveStar Cable 1000 Ft by James Roper

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 weak point which will break after 1 or 2 bends. Don't use wire strippers at all. When using to route an Ethernet cable, use a ripcord on the inside or just wire cutters on the inside to trim the outer insulation as much as needed. Do not try to cut the outer jacket with a circular stripping motion if the inner wires are nicked. Then gently unroll and align the RJ45 adapter. At the moment with no serious corners, I was lucky. If the wire is bent too much, it breaks too easily.
