Pros & Cons
Pros
This is heavy-gauge cat6+ cable. It has a cross-shaped plastic separator that runs the entire length of the cable. The stiffness of the heavy-gauge conductors makes it simplicity itself to get the cable properly inserted into an rj45 plug.
The only downside is amazon's packing techniques. Cat6 has more twists which may have better performance but in real world time you won't notice a difference. Just keep in mind the cable length limitations.
You will need fish-tape to guide or pull through wall cavities.
The od is a tad larger than cat 5e so it is a bit snug in the rj45 connector. I actually think this makes it more sturdy.
Cons
Functionally the cable is fine, but yellow and orange are not bright. Internet searches lead you to amazon website and give you the impression that it is what you're getting. What a waste.
A standard wire sheathe remover ends up clipping the inside pairs causes them to break. No tape, only tucked-in edges for heavy cable. Had to manually feed out cable from bundle and fight tangles.
Highlights
Quality
Great quality pure copper cat6 for the price
Price is good and the cable quality is not bad
Price
Nice and thick like premium cat6 even though this is much cheaper
Cable was of good quality and function as it should and the price was right
Packaging/appearance
Solid cable doesnt crimp or snag pulled out of the box really fluidly speeds are amazing
Additionally it was easy to mistakenly not push the jack far enough into the crimper so that it would not work
The coil inside the carton either had kinks or got kinks when pulled out of the box
Competitiveness
Used this to replace older cat5 drops throuought the house
Probably the best youll get at the price point
Luckily i didn’t need the full 1000ft

We had to use scissors to clip the shield peel it back enough and then use the string to guarantee we hadnt compromised the pairs

Be sure to get cat6 connectors and expect this cable to be snug because of its thick gauge
