VIVO 500ft Bulk Cat6 Wire, CCA Ethernet Cable, 23 AWG, UTP Pull Box, LAN Network, Gray, CABLE-V006

I've used the VIVO 500ft Bulk Cat6 Wire across multiple projects, including building out an IP camera system with PoE, setting up a small office network for my UAW local, and wiring a few home projects — and I’ve had zero issues.The quality of the cable is solid, it pulls cleanly from the box without snags, and termination is smooth with standard Cat6 connectors. Performance-wise, it delivers reliable speed and signal integrity, even over longer runs. For the price point, you’re getting excellent value.

I’ve installed a lot of network cables over the years, and this one is a great option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly solution. It works well, and the speeds are stable. I ran this in a small business and no complaints. I also ordered for my home as I have a ton of electronics connected via LAN. Speeds have been great with no noticeable lag. It was easy to pull and did not break and I have to pull through my walls and attic space. Did not break when flexing through walls.

I installed 200 feet of Cat7 cable made by another company and it turned out to be total junk. That has never happened to me before. I could not figure out why my electronics would not work. I finally had to accept the fact that it could be the wire. I was desperate to get my project completed. The good news is I decided to VIVO CAT6 and oh what I difference. I had to repull wire in conduits and this wire with stood the tasks and works perfectly. VIVO has a better sheath and stood up to the re-pull of wire in conduits. It terminates with ease and is easy to add connectors to the ends of the cable. Problems solved.

Cable jacket seems a little on the softer side of materials.It will snag easily on metal studs and drywall screws.For whatever i got a snag in the box and it tore open the jacket on the plastic opening.Overall i would say the product is okay to use, just be mindful when blindly fishing through walls and ceilings.Even though i have a name brand crimper, i decided to use the supplied tool and jacks.The jacket cutter is stiff and will cut through everything so i would not suggest using it to pear off your jacket ends.

I was in a rush when I ordered this, and thought I had gotten a great deal on pure copper cable. Be warned, this is copper clad aluminum, meaning exactly that: a core wire of aluminum with a thin copper layer on the outside. Technically, referencing “CAT6” is misleading, as it does not technically conform to that spec. Nothing on the box mentions CCA once you get it. CCA *does* appear in the title of the product, but may be missed by people like me that didn’t even know it was a thing (this is the shame on me part, I should have noticed and researched).Why is this bad? If you’re using it for POE applications (which I am), CCA has high resistance and potentially bad side effects (I’ll let you search for what they could be). Even if you aren’t using it for POE, it has bad signal qualities (look up various test results available). I don’t believe this cable is certified for any commercial application, so if you bought it to save your client money, I’d recommend against using it.Unfortunately, I now need to re-wire my home cabinet that I just spent considerable time doing with this cable, replacing it with a certified pure copper product from another company.Don’t be cheap like I was, pay attention and order a quality product from someone else, even if it does cost 2x the amount.

This wire is perfect for outdoor

Works no issues

is easy to pull off the roll in the box but get a bit twisted . Jacket seems to be decent but I did tear some on jagged concrete which might be due to being a little careless .I have about 50 ft strun on the house outdoors , will see how sunlight effects it.
