I recently purchased the VIVO Gray 250ft Bulk Cat5e cable, and I'm very happy with my purchase. The cable is high quality, and it's perfect for my networking needs. The UTP pull box made it easy to run the cable, and the 24 AWG wire provides a reliable connection. I used this cable to connect my computer to my router, and I noticed a significant increase in my internet speed. I also used it to connect my gaming console, and I haven't experienced any lag or dropped connections. I highly recommend this cable to anyone looking for a high-quality Ethernet cable.Here are some specific things I like about this product:* Quality: The cable is made of high-quality materials, and it's very well-made.* Ease of use: The UTP pull box makes it easy to run the cable.* Performance: The cable provides an excellent connection, and I've noticed a significant increase in my internet speed.* Price: The cable is reasonably priced, and it's worth the money.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase of the VIVO Gray 250ft Bulk Cat5e cable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality Ethernet cable.

I have wired up my house, my in-laws, my parents and my brother-in-law's house with this wire. The cables are thick, easy to run, at the same time it's very flexible. I've never had any problems with their ability including the fact that I run a couple of these under the house in the crawl space. I don't see this being a problem in terms of durability. I have even ran some outside to power some Christmas controllers that run Christmas lights. I can tell that the sun did fade some of this but it's only out for a month at a time so I don't see that being a problem. It does give me over two and a half gigs at my house. I would highly recommend for the price.

What can you say about cat 5E cable. Well, all I can say about it is if it comes out of the spool really easy, it doesn’t get tangled which is a complete bonus. It wasn’t too stiff to go around corners.I’ve got this hooked up to multiple outlets all over my house. Some of the runs are around about 200 feet. It works fine no issues at all, no dropouts incredibly fast speeds all around the house. The family is happy.

Copper-Clad Aluminum is controversial in the networking community, but the price is difficult to beat for the weekend DiY warrior. It is 24 gauge, whereas cheap copper cable is often 26 gauge, so in terms of resistance alone it's likely better then, or at least on-par with, the cheap copper Cat5e cable. The box does list TIA certification on it, even though the listing states otherwise, so who knows what the deal with that is.From an electrical engineering standpoint, there is no reason why CCA wire should be inherently inferior to pure copper when it comes to carrying baseband information signals. The slightly higher resistance really shouldn't come into play until you exceed the maximum specified run length.There is honestly no good reason why the various governing bodies which define these specifications could not put this entire debate to rest by releasing an addendum for CCA cable. The biggest concern is honestly lower tensile strength while making awkward runs.Anyway, I pulled two runs with this so far inside of a finished split-level house. The runs were from the basement to the living room area, and fishing the cable through closets and behind walls was a huge PITA. There were a few times when I kinked the wire pretty good while pulling it through a tight space, and I assume this would have snapped some wires, but everything worked out alright in the end - 1000baseT test pass without any issue. The total run length was probably 25m or so, and I will be running cable up to the bedrooms next.I did have some concerns about CCA cable when I first bought it, but those concerns proved unfounded. It works just fine, and seems sufficiently durable as well. You will not be disappointed with this product.

This was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Sure it's clad as others have pointed out but that's why it's rated cat5 and not 6. The cable is good quality for what it is. I've found no breaks, kink's, or deficiencies in the strands. I sell internet dependent hardware and have found that my customers expect me to come with everything needed including networking cables. In the past I've just run to the nearest store and purchased the most affordable option I found, paying anywhere from 10 to 15 each and often having to buy longer cables than needed because of the limited availability of a corner store in SF. Now I can make the patch cables to order and at this price I don't have to think twice about giving them away. What's more is I've done a few longer runs where I would have had to order a cable at much higher cost but with this I'm able to just get it done on the spot and move on. My customers are impressed as nobody in my industry delivers this type of custom service, I'm pleased with the huge savings, and my devices work reliably fast on every installation I've done. When I run through this box I'll definitely return for more!
