This is one of those rare ethernet cables which is exactly on spec:
– My micrometer thinks these are indeed AWG 23 cables.
– Magnifying glass thinks these are indeed pure copper.
– Outer sheath is definitely not PVC which you can’t legally fit inside buildings due to smoke reasons. The claimed B2ca s1a d1 a1 fire safety is plausible. It’s definitely LSZH anyway which is the most important.
– Cable twist looks bang on spec according to my ruler.
If I absolutely had to be nit picky:
– The inner plastic wire separator is thicker in other CAT 6 I’ve seen.
– The outer sheath is thicker in other CAT 6 I’ve seen.
But that other CAT 6 cost 2x more, so given that as far as I can tell this cable is exactly to ISO/IEC CAT 6 spec and it was as cheap as it was, I’m very happy.
Ho steso il cavo in corrugati da 25 mm, per 50 mt, con 3 pozzetti intermedi. Il cavo risulta rigido, si torce poco, ed ha un ottima resistenza alla trazione. La guaina esterna il separatore delle coppie di fili interni, sono buoni, considerando il costo del cavo. Lo ricomprerei
Good quality CAT 6 cable, no packet loss detected over any cables I’ve made from this.
I recently refurbished a flat and I decided to add network cable.
This was a great choice and in very happy with its performance.
Bought two 100m reels. This is proper CAT6. Ignore bad reviews. Its not CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) and its a very thick copper AWG23. The biggest issue is bending it to connect to things at weird angles at the last connection point, like a security camera on a wall. But its all doable. The only thing is you need to get larger RJ45 connectors. Buy these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08HLKY8QC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i thought it didnt work, many hrs later i realised its my tester that is faulty
Absolutely wonderful CAT6 cable. Sufficiently robust yet flexible that an amateur such as me can route through conduit. 40m+ and the signal is superb
I laid a 20m cable with this and it failed testing. The tester indicated that there were multiple shorts between different pairs of wires, and no matter how I made cables it always failed with shorts and dead pins. Customer support instantly processed a refund when I asked about it.
EDITED REVIEW: I have tested the cable with a multimeter and I believe it’s actually intact, but somehow it’s still getting dead pins and shorts when crimped so I suspect my connectors are not Cat6 compliant. (am now trying to cancel the refund, because this is evidently my fault)
I am no expert in CAT 6 cable but compared to others I have used this is heavy duty, it is well built and as far as I can tell the inside is all copper.
Been using cheap cable before that was okay but this cable is quality, working with it is difficult at first when moving from other cables however using the correct tools make it easy to create CAT 6 cable. I have now become a cable nerd looking to create an exact length of cable for each connection of my devices, done about ten so far and each one is perfect.
It was for a new shop setting (data cabling for network systems and CCTV) and wanted to use something more reliable for long term. Time will tell whether it was the right decision or not. But for now I can definitely feel the quality difference.
I prefer having little more problem( or difficulties?) while installing rather than getting endless problems after the installation during the busy business operation. Also, once the cables are installed above the ceiling or below floors, it will be super difficult to replace later on.
it is very stiff comparing to other 24AWG wires or CCA cables. Being stiff can be sometimes very good and bad. When I have to put the line into a narrow gap, it is stiff enough to easily handle that from a distance. But going through somewhere with bending shape, it gives me a bit of tough time. I needed to use combination of tools including fish tape to manage this without damaging the cables.
By the way, if you are thinking of making custom length cat 6 network cables with this, make sure you get a good RJ45 crimping tools. This copper wires were very think that my cheap rj45 pass through auto cut crimping tool could not handle the cable.
Punching down to wall sockets (I love Lindy!!, faultless product for businesses) or patch paneling were ok. But making CAT6 cables with custom length with this cable was kind of very hard job due to the thickness of the copper wires. However, once the CAT6 cables are made, they work very well.
I am helping other customers opening new businesses. I will keep using this one. Will share if my opinion changes.
Let me be the first to say, I am blown away at the quality of these. Most of the cables these days provide the bare minimum and are not totally true to spec. Some advertised as 24AWG are more like 30 in reality, nor are they pure copper. This set is the truest to spec I have ever used based on the tests I ran. No attenuation or degradation over distance, stellar performance in every measure I have to say. The cable is capable of transmitting 4k and 1080p using Extron and Kramer devices (tested) – which is time and money saving solution. Thanks
Will definitely be buying again and I highly recommend this brand.
