Cat5e Riser Unshielded

Cat5e cable. Works as expected. It's solid copper, not CCA.

Cat5E has been out there a while. I normally buy this in 1,000 foot rolls at a time. It was a sturdy cable and was easy to work with while running line. It carried the signal just fine with no issues. Sometimes you can get the wires crossed during end crimping. I think that is something normal that many of us do. It is just part of being a human and trying to get the job done quickly as possible. That is what line testers are for, right? It turned out to be a good cable.

I will always love that it has the remaining length printed onto the cable itself. Makes it easier to cut specific lengths that customers request and quote them a price based on that.

My purchase of the CAT5e cable has meet my expectations. The cable is good quality inside and well protected cover on the outside. It was easy to work with to install connector ends and connecting to wall face plates. As far as signal quality through the cables, no issues and speed tests reflect exactly what my IP provider has published. Overall, a good price and value for the money and would recommend to others.

I built 3 cable for my IP camera using this wire. The ones that are 30ft or less work fine. The one that is 60 ft doesn't work. I can't connect to the camera because the link quality is so low. When I ping it, I only get 25 to 50% reply. No, it's not the camera because I tried it with a 2 different cameras and they behaved the same. So don't buy this cable if you plan long network cable run. Update 5/6/19 Updated to 5 stars. I found out why the 60 foot cable doesn't work. I used only half of the twisted green wire for network and half for DC power by mistake. That was why there was too much noise on the network and hence lost half of the pings. I started over with twisted orange and green pair for ethernet and the twisted brown and blue for power and my IP camera worked fine.

I noticed this wire is more flexible than others and really a pain to install connectors. At first I thought it was stranded wire but stripped off a couple to see and it was solid copper. Keep this in mind when installing connectors and such.

If you're looking for Cat5e cable at an affordable price, this box should work for you. I've used several boxes at work to wire new office space without issue. However, with new technology coming down the line, you might want to look into Cat6 wire instead, even if it is a little more expensive. But if you just need to do it on a budget, then get this Cat5e. No issues with it as compared to some of the cheaper cable available.

Nice box of cable. It pulls easily enough and I haven't seen any knots. Signal quality is good so far.

I love it very much! Every install that I did worked on the spot. Very high end quality product! I recommend this to anyone!
