VIVO 500ft Bulk Cat6 Ethernet Cable Wire, Gray

Worked well for my network installation. The cable was easy to pull from the box, terminate, and run where I needed it. No issues with connectivity or performance in my setup, and the 250 ft box was convenient for doing multiple runs. Good value for a basic Cat6 installation.

I've made a bunch of Ethernet cables using this spool at this point l. Even ran cable from my bedroom for my PC through my cold air return vent down to my router in the living room and I have had zero problems.

First, I'm very new to terminating ethernet cable to keystones and RJ45's. I did a couple practice runs on some cat5E I had laying around and was really irritated that the orange and brown were about a half shade different and very hard to tell apart. The white stripe wires also had only the faintest of color stripe to them as well, so I was not off to a good start and I understood why people bought preterminated cables. I received this cat6 cable and immediately put together a patch cable for practice and was instantly impressed. The cable has good flex to it, a good quality outer sheath, the inner divider is thick enough to work but still easy to cut, and the wire colors are actually easy to see and discern. I appreciate having the option to only buy 250ft as well- not everyone needs a 500 or 1000ft spool! Based on my limited experience, I definitely recommend this cable without reservation.

It's inexpensive cable, and even though it's CCA, it does the job and sustains Gb speed even over long runs; being able to get it in 250ft lengths is a bonus. Admittedly, I'd rather have bought pure copper, but who can afford that in this economy?

500 feet of blue Cat6 in a pull box, so it feeds straight off the spool and doesn't turn into a giant blue Slinky. Wi-Fi is nice, but a cable doesn't care how thick the walls are.

I needed a custom set of cable lengths and bought this product. I crimped multiple cables together and verified everything was trying to negotiate to gigabit speeds if possible, but not matter what I crimped, I never got more than 100mbps using this cable. I crimped a different brand of cable and immediately got gigabit speeds from the crimp. I must have blown through at least 150ft of cabling trying to get these to work, and they just never did. There was always a break in the cable at every segment out of the box. Not sure if I just got a bad box or the build quality of the cable is garbage, but at this point I just wasted every $ I spent buying this brand of cable. Don't waste your money on this garbage, go with something better.

Good quality without the spline, which makes it much easier and faster to terminate.

Even though it's cca this is a great cable. I have pushed and pulled this cable around some pretty tight corners and it always checks out when I'm done with the run and verifying the pairs. I even ran a staple through it 20 feet up. I was cringing but it passed! I just love this cable.

All good

This cable is a great cat6 cable. Conductors are solid and wire strips easily only thing is the outter sheilding does not do well with cold? I live in ALberta Canada and when it dips below -20 this cables outter sheilding is brittle and cracks. I know its an indoor cable BUT when you are running lines in a new home that does not have the heat on yet it makes it quite difficult? I gave it 4 stars for that problem. Recommend for a homeowner that needs it for small heated indoor jobs BUT not a contractor that is in the cold for this reason!

Se compro para realizar una instalación donde el cable iba a quedar expuesto al exterior. No hemos tenido problemas con la velocidad, ni tampoco con intermitencia. El tramo mas largo que se instalo es de 30metros.

Great cable. It is really easy to work with.

Lo unico que no me gusto es que en vez de traer un hilo como casi todos, trae una cruz de plastico que hace mas dificil acomodar los cables para poncharlo y hay que cortar ese plastico, el cable funciona bien y es resistente a jalones
