I like the soft (annealed) pure copper that is not brittle. I have purchased more than 10 (1000ft) boxes from Home Depot and have not had a problem with this cable on any of my installations. It may cost more than other cabling available online but I prefer to spend extra for the peace of knowing that I am using an excellent product.

I used this to run data cable to each room in our new construction home. The box makes it easy to run the cable without worrying about it getting all tangled up. 1000ft will go a very long ways when cabling an entire house. I know that CAT6 cable is available now, but the speeds at which Cat5e can run, this is more than enough for the next good while. I used this to also run cables for our home security cameras that have the option of being wired or wireless. The great thing about running wire is we do not need to worry about getting good wifi signal to those cameras. This is a great product at a fantastic price.

The quality of this product is great, easy to manage, also great durability, whether to run cable on a riser, or make custom size patch cables, this is my preferred option.

Biggest issue I have with this cable is the lack of foot marks. It actually does have marks on it, but they are not 0-1000 but manufacture marks that are in the 80000 range. You have to look at the beginning mark and then subtract 1000 from that and write it on the box. Then when you need to know how much cable is in the box you have to do the math. If you forget to write the number on the box, you are screwed.
As far as the pulling of the cable, I didn't have any issues there. It seems to come right out with no kinks. After the cable is out of the box, it does tangle easy, but I feel all cable does that once it's out of the box.
The jacket is tight on the cable do if you use one of the strippers you could nick the cable, I don't use one so that's not a big deal to me.
The conductors are spot on in my book and I've had no issues with the performance of the cable.

Easy to work with. Length is perfect. Now I have fast internet in my other room with much more security than wifi.

Decent cable for the price, strips down just fine, my only complaint is that the spoils are a little flimsy IF they fall apart. Depends on how rough you are on the spool.

I was in a pinch and needed additional data cable. It was ok and I was able to use it. I have used better. Price was a little more than the better cable I normally order but it will do.

The wire pulled easily over the suspended ceiling, it crimped well on the connectors without a fault. My ethernet network was up and running quickly and was fast, secure and just what I wanted. I would use this cable for future projects.

It worked perfectly. It's a little misleading in the description of 24/4 - since it's actually 4-pair of 24 guage wire.

absolutely garbage
pulled 400ft or so only to discover the cable tests good but is insanely sensitive that you can't run it with 3-4ft of electrical wire. I through in some pre-made test pieces I had (some of which had sliced open sheving where I rolled over it with my offi chair) and that the test wire all worked fine. I even tested this once I pulled it out of the ceiling and it works when it's nowhere near electrical, but even some cheap Chinese test cables do better than this.

definite buy
I pull a lot of cable, but I was out of state helping out a relative in his new home. The walls were a bit open, so I saw it as an ideal time to pull cable. A quick stop to HD and we got this, as it was a bit more than we needed to install a ceiling mounted WiFi access point. I ALWAYS terminate and test a new spool of cable. So I did that here too and it tested great. Then we pulled it, cut it off, and reterminated. Perfect. No issues. A great choice if you only need a short haul.
