TSCables | Cat6 Plenum (CMP) 1000ft Cable, 23AWG | 100% Solid Bare Copper | 550MHz, PoE++ (4PPoE) | Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Bulk Ethernet Cable, Available in 10 Colors (Blue, 1000ft)

Worked perfectly for my 100 foot install. Good value for the money. The cable is flexible and they provide great connectivity. Seems very durable and are easy to use. My video surveillance system has worked flawlessly.

Good cable. We’ll labeled. Pulled easily, didn’t kink much, I got bright yellow. Should have chosen white or blue or even purple. Yellow is the same color as domestic electric wire so it was confusing in the attic. I’ve bought lots of cable before for wiring jobs and this was as good as you need for a domestic job. For enterprise grade work it could pull better I guess, but if you are doing enterprise work, don’t go on Amazon to buy material :) Be careful of cheap cable. It could be CCA. That’s what I was afraid of. So first thing I did when I got this was test it. Take a blade, strip some cable and peal back one of the strands. Use your blade to shave the wire a little. If nothing but copper flakes come off you are all set. If you see some silver color you got CCA cable. Return it and buy normal cable.

I installed my first network and used this wire. It seems to work fine. I have made about a dozen 40 foot runs with no problems. The wire comes out of the box with no twist. I have had no issues installing connectors. I have not run this plenum wire from my attic down the HVAC duct plenum yet. Waiting for cooler weather. I don't anticipate any problems running it there. Some wire has labels stamped on them to tell you how many feet of wire you have used or have left. I don't see anything like that on this wire. I have more than I need, so it does not bother me.

To start with, it is an excellent value for the money. My only gripes are that the perforations on the box are not very good and usually require a knife to remove. And that they measure the footage as feet used instead of feet remaining so I have to do a little math to write on the box how much is left in there. I know, minor, but the other cable manufacturers I have used write on the cable how much is left, so you have a good idea of whether or not you can make that next run. This one is backwards. Still, for the money, I will deal with it. So far, only a couple of snags right at the start, the rest of the pulls have been good. No failed tests on runs so far.

Great product! No issues with it at all.

I am pre-wiring a new home for POE cameras and this cabling was easy to pull, I have yet to terminate and test, however it was easy to prepare for installation. I will revise my review once I have terminated and tested to update on quality of cabling.

I had a cabling job recently and chose to go with Cat6. I needed plenum because I was running cable in ceilings, and I knew that I didn't want CCA because of its subpar quality. This is definitely not CCA, but solid copper. I didn't know this brand of cable but it had good reviews, so I bought it. It was a bit steep at nearly $300, but I needed the cable quickly. It arrived quickly, and I used all but 26 feet. No issues at *all*. I even had to pull a run through an existing metal conduit that had a 90-degree bend. No problems and no loss in data transmission speed. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this brand again.

Bought 8 boxes. Cable boxes where shipped with outer box, very nice. Cable fed well. Only complaint is faint markings on cable .

Very study and good quality

First off this cabling is plenum rated (CMP) hence the higher cost than riser cable (CMR). What that means is it is less prone to heat from HVAC pipes in an enclosed ceiling and does not give off toxic fumes (far less) if it is exposed to high heat. It doesn't show it in the pictures but it has a nylon support in the center that strengths it for pulling and helps to prevent kinking. The TIA/EIA 568 cabling CAT6 is solid copper which pulls well and terminates well in Keystones or punch down fields such as BIX. The cable spooled out smoothly with zero kinking. I ran four 150+ foot runs, that all tested well. Perfect for cameras, access points using PoE upto 60 watts at 1Gbps out to 320ft (~100m) or 10Gbps out to 160ft (~50m). I'm glad I chose this brand and I'm going to stick with it!! Better yet, no important charges. It must be a Canadian company.

I wired a portion of my house with Cat 5 Ethernet cable a while back. I thought I would complete my wiring with the TSCables Cat6 cable. This Cat 6 cable is so much superior compared to my older Cat 5 cables. The big difference is that with this Cat 6 cable, the cable includes a spline or cross-shaped divider used to separate the individual twisted cable pair. The separation isolates the individual twisted pair and helps to eliminate cross-talk. This gives a boost in Ethernet transmission speed. When wiring with a Cat 5 cable, it's very easy to kink the cable. If you have a long run and you pull a little too hard, you will likely develop a kink. With the TSCables, the spline helps to prevent a kink. The spline is a solid piece of plastic that helps to keep the cable structure rigid. This helps to prevent kiniks. I had half a dozen kinks with the Cat 5 cable but did not have any with this Cat 6 cable. In addition to the spline, this Cat 6 cable also has an embedded ripcord. The ripcord helped to remove the outer cable sheath faster and safer. If you try to cut the sheath along its diameter, you may accidentally cut or nick one of the Ethernet wires. If you nick the cable, it will reduce the performance of the cable. The solid colour markings of green, blue, orange, and brown on the twisted pair are clearly visible. The colours (green, blue, orange, and brown) on white are not so clearly visible. The colour marks are a single line on white, making it somewhat difficult to read. All the coloured pairs are well twisted and help to identify the colour on white wires. The Cat 6 wires are 23 AWG. I brought out my calliper to determine the actual diameter. From my calliper, the bare wire diameter is 0.57 mm (see picture). This corresponds to the size listed on the online description. This is a CMP plenum cable. I want to see if they are fire-resistant. I removed a piece of the cable's sheath, and with a cigarette lighter, I attempted to light the sheath aflame. Initially, the sheath caught on fire, but it soon extinguished itself. I did this several times, and they all did the same. The sheath is smooth, and this makes installation very easy. The cable did not resist being pulled through small holes or narrow channels. My Cat 5 cables come in a spool. It was difficult to unwind during installation. I did not have a reel dispenser, and I had to unwind by hand. The Cat 6 cable comes with a pull box. No unwinding was required, and this made installation very simple. In addition, the pull box has a box-cutout handle. This makes it ideal to transport and move the box around. Installation was made easy with the TSCables Cat 6 cable. It saved me time and effort. When I plan to replace my Cat 5 cables, I will be using these cables.

Picked this up to replace some older Cat5 runs to a few non-PoE devices around the house. No speed or reliability issues on any of the runs completed so far. Working with the cable has been easy. Stripping and crimping went without any trouble, and it's flexible enough to fish through the spots that you have decent access to. The runs I've done so far have been mostly in a basement with a drop ceiling, although I did one down a wall (using a cable pull) that went easily. I haven't attempted any long multi-floor runs yet, and those tend to be a different story regardless of cable quality, so I can't speak to how it performs over distance in a more complex path. I also haven't connected any PoE devices, so I can't confirm its purely full bare copper. If you need this for POE loads, you should probably test it against resistance specs, or if you tend to work like me, just YOLO it. For standard home networking runs replacing aging Cat5, this has done the job cleanly. The plenum rating (air duct and drop ceiling runs) gives you more flexibility on where you can route it, which is a nice option to have even if you don't strictly need it.

I'm about to have an electrician come in to put in some outlets in the basement, so I also wanted to get some ethernet drops put in at the same time. I asked about using this cable and the electrician said it's a good cable and it will be more than enough to do the entire job and he's happy to use it, so that's fantastic news. This cable is plenum rated which means it's rated to be run inside of ductwork as well as hidden in the walls. It also has a cross-shaped flexible plastic spline which keeps the 4 pairs of wires separated apparently to reduce interference. It also makes the cable feel quite sturdy, which I imagine is a good thing if you're needing to pull a long run through conduit or ductwork; it's still flexible, but it's not floppy. We checked and the cables are all solid core copper, which I know is increasingly rare these days due to the cost of copper, and it's a superior conductor to something like aluminium with just a copper cladding. It arrived nicely double-boxed with the inner box having a nice guide so you can pull the cable off of the spool without it getting all tangled up. The price seems reasonable when you realise that you're getting 1000 feet, so the cost per foot is pretty good considering this cable should be a permanent installation, or at least until you get to the point of needing fiber speeds in your house, which I anticipate is a long way off for me. It seems worth it to me to go for quality since this will be very difficult to get at once the walls are finished. I'm going to get the highest quality jacks to go with this in anticipation of trying it out with 2.5 Gbps equipment as well. From what I've read Cat6 usually can do the higher speed so long as the runs are not too long.
