Cables Direct Online CAT6 Cable 1000ft Pull Box Solid Ethernet LAN UTP Cable 23AWG 550Mhz RJ45 Network CCA Copper Clad Aluminum Wire Bulk (White)

Worse cable used to date. Just did an install and HALF of the runs had problems. Broken wires on many of the runs, and since it’s in the drywall have to find the break, cut the drywall... repair and then patch the drywall. Problem with punching down on about everything. Save your self the headaches and just buy a better cable. Not even sure it’s a true CAT6, as the twist is very light.I actually did some research, and discovered that this cable is actually NOT a CAT6 cable. This product should not be called category cable because they do not meet the standards” that require solid copper conductors for multi-conductor communications cables, including the National Electrical Code, UL 444, CSA 22.2 and TIA 568C.2.My next questions, is to the seller. Will they pay for the repair costs or tearing down the drywall to re-cable with real CAT6 cable?

Bought 3 boxes of this cable for an install and roughly every 10 to 15 ft the cable is bent and hangs in the box requiring it to be pulled hard to come out. Today I was fishing the cable through a wall when the box quit feeding. Upon inspection it appeared someone had tied a knot in the cables at the 875ft point. I had to redo my fish tape and cut the bad section of wire out. I will never buy cables from this company again. These are complete garbage. I was hoping to save a little money but I will be staying with Essex cable from now on. The cost is worth it for proper quality and avoiding headaches.

Cable is unshielded.... which I knew obviously. Figured to try to save a few bucks on clad aluminum too. However the house I bought this for (I didn’t know at the time) has solar panels and the ac/heat in the attic. Unfortunately for me, I will need shielded cable and might as well get all copper too. The CAD cable is alright if you’re making some short runs, in my case I’m running it right and tight!I bought this over a year ago and only used a few feet at my old place. It’s not bad cable but if you really have 10gb network equipment I’d suggest to buy solid copper cat6-6a. In hindsight this purchase was stupid on my part, I could get the same types of speed from a high quality copper cat5e cable. You get what you pay for folks!

It's works fine so far. Just running network lines in my house for internet and POE cameras.I guess I didn't look at the description very closely. This is Copper Clad Aluminum and not a solid copper wire. It should work fine in my environment, but I wouldn't use it for a commercial install.I will update when I've tested it with my POE cameras. Got 4 of them to do this spring.

Very hard to run with one person. The cable gets knotted up in the box, making it impossible to pull the cable (while in an attic). I had to get out of the attic and untangle the cable and try again. I would have to pull extremely hard on the cable in order for it to pass a kink within in the box itself. This is very annoying while running the cable. I can understand one or two kinks but there were multiple kinks. The quality of the cable itself is very good.

Seem to meet the specs on Cat6 cabling. It is copper over aluminum so keep that in mind. It arrived fast and was double boxed. We punched and tested about 40 runs in various colors and they seem to pass without any issues. Pulled fine and it does kink every once in a while if you are not careful on your pulls.

If you are considering this for network runs do not hesitate!! Ran it 250 feet through underground conduit. Pulled perfectly and no signal loss. Couldn't be happier!

I will have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this cable. I ran all 1000 feet in my upstairs to hardwire all of the rooms, and the cable took some abouse while being pulled through various openings and tight spaces. Once I had it ran, I tested all the cable and they all worked. So, I have had it installed for a bit over three weeks, and it is working great. The only benchmark left is longevity.
