JAVEX 23AWG CAT6A UL in-Wall Rated [500FT, Pure Copper] 750MHz, ETL Listed, TAA Compliant, UTP Ethernet Bulk Cable, Grey

Wired my entire top floor through the attic with this. Very thick and durable. Definitely trust the shielding in this product. It is a little stiff to feed through, but it is performing very well and as expected for CAT 6a.

At first I was going to go with a different brand and has 250ft bulk which is enough for what I needed but was out of stock. So I choose this brand and I'm am very pleased with the quality. Since I ran this through an attic and into a crawl space, having a shielded cat6a "Riser" cable was really helpful due to the extra stiffness of the cable. Both the attic and crawl space was very tight to fit in and having a cable that was stiff helped out quite a bit. Hopefully I don't need to install more POE AP If not I have plenty cable left and a few more unsavory words left to say about the attic. Termination can be tricky depending on what boot and rj45 plug you use. If you want to shove the outer sleeve into the plug then I suggest a plug that can accommodate a larger cable roughly 7mm or more. Same goes for the boot. I used Cable Matters Cat6a shielded pass-through plugs without the shielded crimp collar along with True Cables Cut to Fit strain relief boots that slide into the RJ45 plug. With 500ft, I won't run out any time soon. If need more I'm definitely going with this brand again as the quality is there and I haven't noticed any speed issues with 1 and 2.5Gb. Haven't tested it for 10Gb yet. And no bad runs, thank goodness. And no, I will not show pictures of the attic or the crawl space install, had to get a tetanus shot afterwards. Though I can't stress how the stiffness of this cable really came in handy for those installs. Though you can have a picture of smaller cuts and the product of itself.

Cat 6a, shielded, for 10g 750 MHz. The jacket seems very durable. The shielding wraps all the way around and overlaps a little and is quite heavy, not too thin. Some of the brands have shielding that tears too easy. There is a drain and also a plastic protector between shielding and pairs so it is quite durable. The colors on the pairs is SO BRIGHT and easy to read. So if you are terminating to an RJ45, it makes the identification of the pairs easy to install the RJ45. (Be sure to buy the RJ45 that is for 6/6a cable). Great quality for a good price. It will take some time to test the limits of the speed. I am using it for Dante. I'll have to upgrade the switch to 10g to test latency.

This cable is nice and thick with clearly marked conductors. Some other cheap cables I've worked with recently, didn't clearly mark the striped/barber pole conductors. Great value for such a high quality cable. The conductors are of a thick enough gage that you know and can feel that it is in the connector channels properly. The only downside: it's very stiff. That was kind of annoying for my particular use case but for others that's probably a very desirable quality.

Good quality but be advised this cable with it shield is stiff. Very good for straight runs but not for situations where you have tight bends.

I was initially unsure about the wire since the price was lower than expected. However, after cutting a piece and inspecting the copper, I found it to be solid. The drain wire could be better, but it's acceptable, and the shielding is on par with other brands. I ran a speed test at approximately 180 feet with no noticeable degradation. I used Klein shielded straight-through connectors, and everything passed without issue. Initially, I tried using Cable Matters shielded keystone jacks, but all 28 connections failed on pairs 1 and 2 back-to-back. This led me to switch to straight-through male connectors, which worked flawlessly. At first, I suspected the cable might be the issue, but after further testing, I confirmed it’s a solid choice.

This appears to be of high quality with solid copper 23g conductors. However, the conductor diameter (1.1 mm) and outer jacket (8.3 mm) are thicker than some other brands. If you are using push through RJ-45 connectors, make sure they can accept this size. Having tried several types, I've found the Ideal shielded connector (85-368) to be the easiest to use. With other connectors having smaller holes, I had to thread a few connectors individually. Plus even though this cable is unshielded, the metal shield of the RJ-45 can be crimped around the jacket to hold it. The 85-368's are expensive, but worth it if you are using this cable. Lastly, the twisted wire pairs seem to fit loosely within the sheath, almost as if it were meant to contain shielding as well.

Is a true Cat 6a cable, outdoor sheathing. Proper, sturdy construction, proper shielding, supports pulling through conduits, provides 1Gbps @ 500ft in my installation, running parallel to an HVAC power and control line for 30 ft, through buried conduit outdoors between house and shop. Even if you want less than 500ft, do NOT buy the Cat 7/6a rolls on Amazon that are cheaper. Per foot, this is only slightly more expensive, and with this roll you will not be wasting your money on fake Cat 7/6a products.
