TRUE CABLECat6A Shielded Riser (CMR) Bulk Ethernet Cable, 1000ft, Blue, 23AWG Solid Bare Copper, 750MHz, F/UTP, PoE++ 100W, ETL Listed

Very good quality cable, though be sure to get some terminals cable of the awg 23 with the thick insulation. Ezex44 work well. I tried this with some general terminals and it was really difficult to get the cores inserted. also make sure the insulation is smooth otherwise the next core to be inserted may foul. Certainly a little harder to install than with thinner cores, but worth it for the longer runs. I'm using this in a 500ft run using a switch miday and no issues negotiating 1gbs.

I've used this cable for four years, expanding my network across my home. Outside runs, attic runs and in wall. I use cat6A shielded connectors and my download speeds are always faster than my plan allows, even across the length of the house. Love it. The cable does not bend as easy in tight corners but can be done and holds up well. If my project grows, I'll be purchasing more of this.

I used this to run hard-wired CAT-6A Ethernet through out my home. LOVE IT!The cable is very stiff, but it's what you would expect to keep the structural integrity of a high-performance cable. However, it is flexible enough to be pulled through some tight spaces and make tight corners if needed. Once properly installed, it performs exactly as I had hoped!Photo is of my network closet/wall in the final install. Would by again, no question.

It's a thick and stiff cable. The individual strands are a bit too thick for a passthrough cat6a plug. It's perfect for a keystone though.

First time use of TrueCable wire, seems excellent. I thought I had run every color bulk cable there was and found one I hadn’t, purple, so I tried it. Nice heavy 6A wire as expected, but terminates easily with 6A pass-through plugs from truecable. Easily handles UniFi poe switches and long runs to AP’s.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Excellent quality.

I have gone through several other cables and all had trouble hitting 10gbps. This cable does it no problem which finally gives me the speeds I wanted. Two challenges I had with this cable though:1) It is hard to strip. The outer casing is so thick that it ends up twisting for several inches before it strips2) I was unable to crimp an rj45 onto it as the wires are too thick. I even bought cat 6a rj45s from truecable and i just can't seem to thread the wires through the connector. I ended up wiring it up to a keystone and running a small patch cable to my access point

If you are looking for top quality CAT6A CMR indoor cable at a reasonable price, then you just found it.I install Wi-Fi networks and camera systems and this particular cable is meant for an inside Wi-Fi AP/Switch/Router/Server installation. When I made my choice, I went by the following criteria:• The cable must be solid copper. Many of the runs I install are up to 300 feet. Stranded copper should not be used past 75 feet.• The cable must be CAT6A since the network I will be installing will, in the future, require 10G Ethernet over copper out to the maximum possible distance limitation of 328 feet.• The cable must be properly documented so I can select the proper connector to use with it. I will not trust cable this is not fully documented up front.• The cable must meet all EIA/TIA specifications and if used inside walls (not plenum air spaces) then it must further be CMR rated so it does not promote the spread of a fire.Fortunately, trueCABLE (unlike many others) has properly published the specifications on the cable and I selected the Platinum Tools ezEX-44 unshielded connector. Since this connector is specific to Platinum Tools, you are also required to use the ezEX0 crimp tool and interchangeable die system. The two most critical specifications needed are the OD or outside diameter of the cable jacket and the OD of the conductor insulation, which basically means the copper conductor diameter PLUS accounting for the insulation around the conductor. It is NOT enough that a connector says “CAT6A compatible”, nor is it enough that a particular connector says it will work with “23 AWG” conductors. Each cable manufacturer will have different ODs for the cable and conductors. In this case, the cable OD is 7.30mm and the OD of the conductor insulation is 1.02mm. Very few connectors on the market will work with such a thick cable OD of 7.30mm, so careful research was necessary. When I selected the connector, I needed to know what the connector would accept and as it turns out, Platinum Tools also properly documents their connectors. The ezEX-44 accepts cable ODs up to 7.36MM and conductor OD range of 1.0 – 1.12mm. Perfect! This connector has the added advantage that it is pull-through in design and does not use load bars, plus the conductors stagger 4 high and 4 low to minimize near and far end cross talk, which is critical for high bandwidth applications. See my pictures for how this looks.Taking the cable off the spool, this stuff is stout. The jacket is thick and the interior of the cable has a “spline” which separates the pairs to minimize cross talk. The spline further helps with keeping the cable from kinking while running it. There is a rip cord inside the cable, but I did not make use of that. You should use a cable stripper when terminating cable to RJ45 connectors. For such a thick cable, you are well advised to get a heavy-duty adjustable stripper such as the “Big Red” or BR-1 type. I took pictures of the inside of the cable.Overall, I am impressed with the quality of this cable! I wrote a long review here with pictures because this product really deserves it.Oh, and this was all at a lower price than Vertical Cable’s similar offering. I have used Vertical Cable and while they are comparable in quality, their cable costs more.
