StarTech 500ft Cat5e Bulk Wire, Solid UTP, CMP, Blue, TAA (WIR5ECMPHBL)

I bought this cabling to rewire the phones in my house and add some network locations.The packaging that it comes in is nice and easy to pull cabling from, however the quality of cable was okay. I found that when I pulled it for long runs (basement up through attic) that the wire easily kinked. In some cases it kinked so bad, that I felt that I needed to pull past the kink to cut it out. I also felt that the individual strands seemed very small.If I had it over again, I would have purchased more of the Monoprice Cat6 cable.

Decent quality plenum rated Cat6 cable. The pull box is heavy duty cardboard and can be completely recycled when you're done. No errors or defects in the cable yet.

those electrons moving fast....works great!

A Bit ridged but performed well enough for what I was using it for. I so far have been using this for modbus data.

I've been a big fan of the monoprice cat6 bulk wire because of the quality and consistency, but this is really close! I was expecting pretty good, but it's very good.That being said, I suggest you don't buy this or at least check the price of this:  StarTech.com 1000 ft Bulk Roll of Blue CMR Cat6 Solid UTP Riser Cable - Cat 6 Riser Cable - Cat.6 CMR Ethernet Cable - 23 AWG - Blue . The startech wire I'm linking to has 23 AWG guage wire while this one has 24 AWG guage. Even thought the 25 AWG wire can pass all the tests, I'd rather have the thicker wire if available for the same price. It's not much of a difference as far as the thickness and flexibility for the whole cable, but thicker wire should offer better resistance and may be better in worse conditions. Prices vary, but at the moment the other 23 AWG wire is the same price. Check the price of the monoprice 23 AWG wire on Amazon too because it's great stuff too! (there are so many colors of the Monoprice wire that I don't want to link to them all--the color doesn't matter as long as it is the CAT 6 23 AWG 500 mhz Monoprice wire)This 24 AWG wire is 100% copper wire. It's cat6 500mhz wire. The 500mhz wire has to have a plastic separator in the the middle of the 4 twisted pair to prevent cross talk. Each wire is 100% solid copper. It's a little stiff, but all the "good stuff" like this is. If you really want full speed, you have to have the plastic insulator and solid copper which is why it's stiff.I made a 100 foot test cable and it tests and works perfectly. It pulls from the bulk box pretty easily. I'm happy with this wire, but again I would prefer 23 AWG wire.

Startech's CMR Cat 6 UTP Bulk Cable Roll (WIRC6CMRBL) is well insulated and set to give the flexibility and durability needed for a great network, whether it be for power-over-Ethernet or standard network implementation. The roll was tangle was free and while the cable is a bit stiff (due to quality insulation), it came out smoothly and efficiently. The box itself could have been a little more sturdy (it was in pretty rough just during the normal shipping process), but it seemed to hold up fairly well. Overall though, great performing cable.

An adequate bulk roll of CAT6 cable. This is all I need for my room-to-room runs to cut down on wireless transmissions. It is good, quality cable.

The wire itself is fine, just like you'd expect from any solid copper plenum-rated cable. The box/payout system is terrible. Every 10-20 feet of payout hits a hard internal snag inside the box, preventing an installer from being able to pull this cable in any meaningful way. Cost me more in labor than the price of the cable, in having to baby runs along and clear constant hangups. After finally finishing the job, I trashed the unused portion.

Not much to say. It is LAN cable at a good price.
