Does exactly what I need it to, doesn't snag in the box. Easy to pull, easy to terminate. But I'm dinging it 1 star because they don't mark the cable in a countdown from 1000 ft. Instead, it's marked in the 10,000's, or rather, 5 digits, which makes it near impossible to know how much I have left

Cable is fine but I would like some additional color options for this product. I integrate voice, data, and surveillance systems and require several of the standard colors for data cabling.

Much cheaper to buy a small spool then a long pre-made cable. Important thing to know is this is a steel wire core with copper clad, but unless you have a run over 100ft, there should be no difference between this and copper core. The cable cuts easy, the shielding wire provides full coverage. Experienced no issues using two different brand of compression connectors with this cable.

Cable was used to replace faulting video cable for local cable installation. Easy to use through a trough as it was taut enough to easily be pushed through. 100 feet was a good length, allowing for excess at both ends which was desired.

Looks like a good solid cable. I'm using it indoors. Fits on to the F-connectors (crimp type) solidly, back hair wires exposed, peeled back nicely over it's PVC outer skin for a tight secure signal transfer.

This is low end product will on work on high speed GB. Will work at low speed 10/100 but not too long of run. I would buy Cat6 cable if you need GB speeds.
