Sewell Direct SW-21969 SolidRun by Sewell Cat5e Bulk Cable, 1,000-Feet, Yellow

This is a great product. The colors of the twisted pairs are vibrant which makes identifying what wire you are working with that much easier in poor lighting conditions. The outer sheath is a little thicker then some stuff I've worked with recently, but that is a good thing, more protection from interference, and a higher level of abuse tolerance. The spool was great too, it is pretty sturdy especially considering its cardboard, and the cable was wrapped with care. No tangles or kinks. I haven't got a chance to use all 1000 feet yet but the 10 or so patch cables I've already cut plus the cable I ran through walls has worked great and reliably too.Not only would I recommend this company/seller to friends, family, and clients but I am going to come back the next time I need networking supplies.

I used this to rewire my entire network. It may be solid but I rarely move anything anyways. I have 1 run across my house underneath the floor (manufactured home- double wide) to link my main router and an access point. Then multiple runs between my routers and a server, raspberry pi, few rokus, and a few desktops. I haven't had any issues yet and have plenty feet left over.

Do not purchase this cable, the quality of this cable is very, very poor. I have been pulling cable for over 13 years and this is by far the worst box of cable I've ever purchased.I'm currently working on wiring my new house and this is my 2nd 1000 foot pull box and all the runs that I have completed with this cable have been bad, not a single run worked. After further inspection of the cable I found the copper to be very brittle. After punching it down I found the non-cut side to be broken. I pulled a test 10 foot section out of the box and put rj45s on and found all 8 wires to be open.I contacted the vendor about this issue and I had to send them the cable back to them for testing. After testing they have refunded my purchase price and shipping. Their customer service was fine in dealing with this matter. Even though I was refunded 100% of my purchase price I'm now out the labor and a new patch panel (their wire is broken off in the slots and can't be removed).If I could give this product 0 stars I would.

See? Helpful advice from your old buddy Stucco. As for the endless other merits of this cable? Well, let's see. It's delightfully bendy. You could probably make a rope belt out of it. This is an important tip- if you roll it all out, and attach a tin can to each end in an effort to make one of those shoestring "telephones", you have to pull the line taut. Even then, you can't hear anything. Yet another lie adults tell children. When will this madness end?

We bought this cable to verify the operability and performance of Copper coated Aluminum (CCA) cable. If you plan to run at or above 1 GB Ethernet you may want to pay a little more for pure copper cable.This cable apparently will perform just as good as pure copper cable but I am told that it may/will not pass the FLUKE test for cross-talk and other critical characteristics if the cable is to be used as I mentioned earlier (i.e. at or above 1GB)

No. It's the same Cat5e that is found all over. I got a green one, and it's a lovely shade. I thought about taking it to Home Depot and having them color match me some paint to go with it. No. That's a complete lie. It's a spool of Cat5e- what more is there to say, really? The strands are decently colored? My fingers don't ache any less when I've spent hours adding fittings to this cable, as compared to any other....

I was asked to set up 16 cameras at this business, they used to have twin cable (coax + power) and the lady ask me If I could re-run the cable but from inside some duct pipes... 3/8" pipes... there's no way in hell you can put that many cables into a 3/8" pipe... so This cable help Me out!!! just run 3 cameras + 1 power for each cable... of course you have to put some baluns but it will work!!!

This pull box roll of cable is very easy to work with and was designed to pull well. I've gotten boxes in the past that kink and unroll badly, making my cable runs very hard to complete; this box's pulling design works flawlessly in my opinion. The cable itself matches the Cat5e 24 AWG UTP PVC standard and I am overall very pleased with it. The incremental foot markings are also extremely helpful to calculate cable run lengths.
