1000ft Cat5e Solid 24AWG Cable UTP Cat5 Bulk Pull Box Network Copper Clad Aluminum Wire (Unshielded (UTP), Orange)

I should have paid closer attention to the fine print, I didn't realize until I had installed the first run and went to put a connector on the end that this is aluminum wire within a thin plating of copper on the conductors. It says CCA in the item listing, my fault for not reading that closer but until now I was not even aware that aluminum conductor CAT5e was even available. Aluminum wire has almost 3 times the resistance of pure copper so while this is probably ok for data, it should not be used for PoE (power over ethernet) applications such as the security cameras I was planning on using it for. It feels flimsy too, aluminum wire is less durable and more prone to breaking if it is tugged or flexed. I'm going to cut my losses and give it away or chuck it and buy a box of proper copper CAT5e instead of using this junk.I should have known by the low price, lesson learned, always read the fine print!

As mentioned many times in the reviews, this low quality CCA cabling will not establish gigabit links at any link greater than 10 feet. I've been in cabling for 23 years and I've never had this issue before, no matter how cheap I went on cabling. It doesn't matter how much time I take to ensure the connectors are perfect, I have to force link speeds down to 100mbps. Auto-Negotiation has been doing a good job of establishing 100mb connections on its own but that's not always the case for longer runs of this cabling. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product.

I've used bulk network cable at events for 20+ years and this is the worst product I've ever purchased.Any cable run over 80ft didn't work at all, completely unusable in a gig network, had to force network speeds down to 100mb to get any connection between devices. The box is not labeled at all and not as pictured with Cat5e. I don't believe they ship what is ordered but an inferior product.

The wire is at a slightly lower cost than others however is copper clad aluminum wire and is not good for p.o.e cameras at any real distance. Had to pull it all out and re-pull with solid copper cat 5 to make the cameras work correctly. Can't believe they still sell/ make cca cable it's junk.

Worked perfect, pulled about 8 rolls of this over the weekend and only had 3 snags. The white feed tube could be a little more smooth and secure to prevent snags from the inside but all in all, this cable certified cat5e with no issues on my fluke cable certifier

I have previously used monoprice bulk cable but thought I would give this product a try and will probably continue to use it in the future. I will say the sheathing is not quite as versatile as the monoprice cabling and some of the labeling rubbed off on my longer ~300ft runs but overall I am happy with the product.

I wasn't sure how good this cable would be given the price I paid but I am VERY happy with the quality of this stuff. It doesn't kink easy, it's not the flimsy crap that's available out there. Why pay all that money for "high quality" when you this already is great quality.

Regretting this purchase and installing this cable. It is totally not durable and fails very quickly if it is *barely* flexed at the termination points. I have had to replace these cables
