VIVO 1,000ft Bulk Cat5e Wire, CCA Ethernet Cable, 24 AWG, UTP Pull Box, LAN Network, Red, CABLE-V001R

I work in the low voltage trade where big names (and price) like Commscope and Belden are prevalent, So I had some trepidation about this cable/price. But for small projects this is a great product for the price. I read negative comments before making a purchase decision. The most common negative review I saw was difficulty distinguishing wire color differences. Not an issue in my experience; greens and blues were clearly discernible. Also comments about kinking and binding. Again, not an issue; cable flowed freely off the reel. If you are in need of a cable that needs to be certified, you may need to additional research on your own. But for small projects where you just need the cable to work, this product is fine. My project consisted of cables runs for installing security cameras in my house. Three runs of 125'. No issues with the cable runs -- terminated and tested fine -- and no issues with the performance of the cameras.

These work well for me. I use them on boats to run network cables. The red matched the theme of the boat perfectly, as some of the network cables to the graphs were exposed. That's a lot of cable for the money. I would definitely buy it again if I needed it again.

For the price this cable is excellent value for my purposes. I pulled 2 300' runs thru the ceiling of a grocery store with no problems. The signal is strong to my wireless routers. It pulled out of the box very cleanly but will kink easily if you're not careful. The striped wire colors can be faint and a little hard to identify but that seems to be a common issue with less expensive cable. All in all I'm very satisfied with the prompt delivery and quality of the cable.

Okey

It is a ton of cable for all of my at-home cabling needs. Probably a bit too much for what I am using it for. I feel like 5e will be usable for a very long time until we surpass 1Gig Internet for home use.

A lot of reviews complain about kinking and breaking.It does seem prone to kinking and that could lead to breaks but if you aren’t in a hurry and take it slow and keep an eye on the roll then it isn’t an issue.The aluminum wires were a bit different to handle than copper but I had no problems makes good cables even with my household quality crimper.

This is not even close to being CAT 5e cable.

Great

I have almost used up an entire 1000ft of this cable at different locations. I use it to install computers in collision/body shops. Most runs are well over 100ft, around large electrical equipment like spray ovens and compressors etc. Pulls straight from the box without kinks or knots. I have had no issues with this cable, fast speeds, some100MB connections, with no disconnection or spotty performance. For home use I can't see why you would need to spend any more money. I have just ordered my second 1000ft box.

exactly as expected

Product was as advertised. Basic, CAT5e 24GA solid TP wire. Pulls out of box easily. Easy to un-twist and crimp. Good, cheap wire for basic cable needs.

It is a lot of cable for the money. But that said, you get what you pay for in these situations. It's okay cable, great for small runs or making patch cables. Personally, I have made several 50ft+ runs: through walls, ceilings, crawlspaces, etc. It works just fine, no connections problems or anything. The only problem I have with the cable is: the cable is pretty stiff, and the grey covering tends to stretch and turn white when bending it. Overall worth it if you're looking for cable to have sitting around for if you need to make a short or even long run.

Nice solid core cable, no issues with pass through connectors. Just make sure they are good quality like BeBe. I bought two other types locally , one was terrible and the other name brand expensive and again not great.
