Serious cable
This is some serious duty cable. No issues at all

Good Shielding
I have used up about half my roll so far. I am only using it for Gigabit right now, but it is running at full speed as I tested the speed of the cable using iperf and it is very close to the expected max of the cable. The difference between the max and what i got was explained by my computer / nic hardware and driver, as other shorter store bought 6a cables got the exact same speed.As far as the shielding, I have a combined cable tester and cable tracker tool. I plug one of these two devices into a keystone jack I just wired, and then take the other device to the other end of the cable, and it is suppose to pinpoint which cable (in a bunch) I am currently wiring. Because the shielding is so good, the tool does not work well, I have to point it to the end of the wires where i cut it to make it beep, so it is obvious the shielding does actually work well. When I use this tool on UTP 5e type cable, it starts ringing before even touching the middle of the cable, but with this 6a shielded cable, it is really hard to tell.The only negative is the thickness of the cable, but if you are prepared for it, it's not that bad.

Be prepared for a little extra work/expense but very solid connectors
This is a good quality cable, definitely thicker than normal Cat 5e or Cat6 as others have stated. I have not tested the speeds at this point so can't answer those questions. My main reason for this review is to let you know which keystone jacks and termination connectors I used... I used the Cable Matters model 180014 shielded keystone jacks and the model 180086 shielded termination plugs. They are both heavy duty connectors, but much appreciated after *trying* to use plastic Cat 6 connectors (I couldn't find 6a) from Lowe's (they don't work, so don't try)... These are more time consuming to apply and are definitely bulkier, but I would use them again without hesitation due to the solid construction. I also ordered and used the Cable Matters 180087 crimping tool for the keystone jacks, not absolutely necessary but if you don't have this you will have to use some type of square, larger mouth pliers to crimp it shut completely. One more thing... I found it extremely useful to order a pair of micro cutting pliers to snip off the excess wire after putting the wires into the connectors, the tiny needle nose end of these pliers get in to tight spaces easily. I ordered the Hakko CHP-170 micro cutters for about $7 or $8 and they worked great.

Purchased for my home.
I purchased this to wire up my home with 10G capable wiring for near-future proofing. It is well built, and was easy to work with.

Great for wiring a house
This cable is a great price for bulk CAT6A and this is nice cable. It has the individual pairs foil shielded and a nice stranded sheath. I am running it to a keystone patch-bay and putting keystone jacks in the walls.The down-side of this cable is the shield on the wires is VERY thick. I got plugs that specifically mentioned thick shielded CAT6A after reading other reviews and this does not fit. It works great in the keystone jacks so my plan is to use it for all of my in-wall infrastructure with jacks on each end.

Very heavy and solid duty cable.
Haven't started installing this in my new home yet but am very excited to do so. The cable is very thick and seems of high quality. Honestly just as described. Many have noted it but just as they have I will. The cable is thick and you will definitely want the appropriate jacks as getting it all cleaned up and in a standard one is going to give you a headache and regret your decision to get such a nice future proof cable.

Product specs need updating
Very solid wire, but the product description is missing a few key details. The individual wires are 23AWG, but with the thicker than normal insulation, the diameter of the wire is about 52 to 55/1000s of an inch (1.32 to 1.39mm) in OD. This means that you can NOT use normal CAT6A terminators. I had to order these - https://www.amazon.com/VCE-Shielded-Modular-Stranded-Ethernet/dp/B07L8QKHZQAlso, with the wire pairs, the white wire is ALL white, there is NO colored stripe.

Scam wire
I don’t know what happened but I got this cable like year ago and installed into the wall and covered it up with dry wall and later when internet was hooked up and tested it only can run 80-90mbps this wire is a scam

very good quality
it is thick and heavy and strong. it works well with https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B083RFHYG9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1.Pretty happy

Good quality cable, good price
Used it for POE , works perfectly fine, (you will need large connectors, the wires are thicker than cat6)

Superb cable
as a tech, i love this cable, cat6+ but double shielded aluminum and mesh. :)
