Review on Micro Connectors 500Ft Solid Shielded (Stp) Cat6 Bulk Ethernet Cable - Gray (TR4-560SHGR-500) by Eric Trask

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good durable cable for computer and accessories

I used it to power a POE system for security cameras in my attic. It's not really necessary for my current camera system, but we plan to stay in this house longer and I've decided it's worth going with Cat6A instead of Cat5E for now. The cable looks well made. It's quite bulky, about twice the thickness of the Cat5E. The conductors are solid copper and the sheathing seems pretty solid. It works great with my cameras and I'm sure it will get better with time. The kit contains 10 covers and connectors. I used boots - they were great as they were the right size, the universal RJ45 connectors are very snug fitting - but I opted for pass-through connectors instead of their crimp connectors. The included connectors look like they're fine, but I didn't want to worry about making a good connection or not since I'm working in the attic. This was the first time I've used through connectors and I don't think I'll ever be back!
