I was in a rush when I ordered this, and thought I had gotten a great deal on pure copper cable. Be warned, this is copper clad aluminum, meaning exactly that: a core wire of aluminum with a thin copper layer on the outside. Technically, referencing “CAT6” is misleading, as it does not technically conform to that spec. Nothing on the box mentions CCA once you get it. CCA *does* appear in the title of the product, but may be missed by people like me that didn’t even know it was a thing (this is the shame on me part, I should have noticed and researched).Why is this bad? If you’re using it for POE applications (which I am), CCA has high resistance and potentially bad side effects (I’ll let you search for what they could be). Even if you aren’t using it for POE, it has bad signal qualities (look up various test results available). I don’t believe this cable is certified for any commercial application, so if you bought it to save your client money, I’d recommend against using it.Unfortunately, I now need to re-wire my home cabinet that I just spent considerable time doing with this cable, replacing it with a certified pure copper product from another company.Don’t be cheap like I was, pay attention and order a quality product from someone else, even if it does cost 2x the amount.

The cable itself is great. Works well, good thick conductors, very easy to crimp into connectors, all good. But I literally had to rip the entire box apart to get the cable out because it was kinking on itself so aggressively that it wouldn't come out. I could have maybe forced the cable through, but then it would have potentially damaged the wires enough that the whole cable would be compromised. So when you're climbing around in the attic trusting this box to feed you wire when you pull it, you're likely to be disappointed and have to climb all the way back and take the whole box apart and make it look like a baby bear wanted some chocolate left inside it. Aside from the significant inconvenience of the cable not feeding out right, it works great. Used it to run Cat6 through my second floor!

is easy to pull off the roll in the box but get a bit twisted . Jacket seems to be decent but I did tear some on jagged concrete which might be due to being a little careless .I have about 50 ft strun on the house outdoors , will see how sunlight effects it.

I installed 200 feet of Cat7 cable made by another company and it turned out to be total junk. That has never happened to me before. I could not figure out why my electronics would not work. I finally had to accept the fact that it could be the wire. I was desperate to get my project completed. The good news is I decided to VIVO CAT6 and oh what I difference. I had to repull wire in conduits and this wire with stood the tasks and works perfectly. VIVO has a better sheath and stood up to the re-pull of wire in conduits. It terminates with ease and is easy to add connectors to the ends of the cable. Problems solved.

The cover is little flimsy but the copper cables are really good.

If you are looking for a smaller amount of quality cable, but bulk, like I needed with the 250', this is going to get you there and save you some money in the process. The wires all work as expected for Cat6. For my uses so far, I get 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps no problem well within spec distance at around 40', and 10Gbps well within spec distance at around 10'.It's cable, it's got wires that work, a nice core, and a good price. You need Cat6? This will give you what you need.

This cable is a great cat6 cable. Conductors are solid and wire strips easily only thing is the outter sheilding does not do well with cold? I live in ALberta Canada and when it dips below -20 this cables outter sheilding is brittle and cracks. I know its an indoor cable BUT when you are running lines in a new home that does not have the heat on yet it makes it quite difficult? I gave it 4 stars for that problem. Recommend for a homeowner that needs it for small heated indoor jobs BUT not a contractor that is in the cold for this reason!

I found this cable worked well but it had too many twists when opened. There is a risk of the broken connections inside the shield.

Cable itself works as spec’d. The quality of casing is low and the cable itself is fragile. I had to pull the cable twice (and very gently) as it was easily damaged the first time without going around any closed off bends. Should work fine for easy out in the open cables but wouldn't recommend for pulling through any walls or obstructions.

Se compro para realizar una instalación donde el cable iba a quedar expuesto al exterior. No hemos tenido problemas con la velocidad, ni tampoco con intermitencia. El tramo mas largo que se instalo es de 30metros.

I was tempted to only give this product 4/5 stars but it is a really good product for the money.The reason this is much cheaper than the 500ft box of cat6 you can get at your local home improvement store is b/c this is copper clad aluminum cable and not solid copper. Because of that I initially had some trouble making patch cables with this b/c the wires were a little bit weaker than what I was used to working with. The product clearly states what it is and costs almost 40% less than solid copper cat 6, even though I wasted 20 or 30 feet getting the hang of using it, I still feel like I got a good deal on this product.
