SolidRun by Sewell, Bulk Cat5e Cable, UTP, 1,000 ft., Orange, Pull Box Reviews - SW-22343

Pros: Sturdy

Cons: None

Pros: The cable is in great condition, we haven't hit any snags or twists while running it. We have used about 3/4's of the box. The biggest pro is the price!

Cons: The pairs don't have the glossy wax that is nice. (That really isn't a huge deal)

Pros: This Cable Is awesome! Easy to pull from the pull-box, I've pulled four runs of 80+ feet so far and all have stood the test of traveling through bends in the pipes I ran them through. I love the Orange cable I selected, and thus far all lines run have operated at 100mbps. The metal conductor is solid and not stranded wire. Price is excellent for a NON professional like me! I've run lines in my home as well as my friends home.

Cons: Cable appears to be Copper Coated, and not solid copper. If removed from the box before fed through piping, the cable will attempt to bind on the coil it is used to. So if you do that, watch it closely!

Other Comments: I love it! Definately a must if you are looking for something fun to get into! Rated a 5 for the cost, ease of use from the pull box, and the speed rating this cable provides. Granted it is not a professional fully shielded solid copper stranded wire, it gets the job done.

Pros: easy to pull, works aswell as cat5 should. easy to cut and crimp.

Cons:

Pros: Superb wire. The pairs separate easily, the outer jacket strips nice & it feeds well from the box. To date, it's the best wire I've used. Many times better than Genesis!

Cons: It's a minor con, but it's the only thing I've found I wish were a little different. I wish there were more strength around the place where you pick the box up. It's recycled cardboard & doesn't hold up well under the weight of a full box if you're not a little gentle with it. Once the box is half used, it's no problem. Like I say...a minor gripe that I fix right when I get it with a few strips of box tape to help reinforce it. If you do that, it's as tough as the best.

Other Comments: Buy this wire...you will be very pleased!!!
