Syston Cable Tech Cat6A+ Bulk Raw Ethernet Cable White Bulk 700MHz 20 ft 23AWG 4pr Unshielded Twisted Pair UTP Solid Bare Copper Riser CMR Heat UV Resistance Indoor Outdoor Order to Cut

If you don't need 1000 feet of unshielded CAT6A, this cable is an excellent value!This cable is Syston part number 1477. The designation CMP is stamped on the cable, meaning it is Plenum Rated. It is labeled CAT6A but it surpasses the standard for CAT6A. Where ANSI Specification: ANSI/TIA 568.2-D Category 6A calls for the cable to be tested at 500MHz and pass, this cable passes at 700MHz, meaning it can surpass 10Gbs. To achieve 10Gbs, you cannot use a CAT6 RJ-45 connector. A CAT6A connector staggers the wires to help prevent near and far crosstalk (see the pic).If you crimp the CAT6A connector onto the cable and you are only getting 100/1000Mbs speed, try cutting of the little nub of plastic on the end of the connector with a side cutter. This will enable the connector to fit better into, say, a 2.5Gbs receptacle. Platinum Tools makes a special crimper (ASIN B01N2AHQL6) for their CAT6A connectors (ASIN B06XT6DVYN). The connectors are rated for CAT6A 10Gbs and POE+. The special crimper cuts off the end of the connector that the wires pass through. This makes it fit better in all high-speed female connectors.If you purchase shielded cable, you must use a CAT6A shielded connector. Unless your routers and switches have a grounding connection, to ground the shield, you are more likely to pick up EMI with a shielded and ungrounded cable. For most home or small office applications, use UTP or unshielded cable. The UTP cable and connectors are less expensive and less work to install.

Good quality cable. I just I bought longer spool.

Functionality, quality, speed, and value is great in this cord. Only issue are the colors of the individual wires therein. They were a bit challenging to differentiate because they were so light and faded. I was able to make them work in the first try; however, if any lighter in color, you couldn’t tell which is which when connecting the connector.

I wanted to future proof my house for 10g and these cables did the job.While my net in only 1gb, I know there are no bottlenecks on my cables.This replaced cat5e and the internal has some extra support, a durable plastic inner layer that reduces crosstalk, but is great for pulling through attics and drywall.

No tested yet.I am posting only pictures of the packaging and the cable label.Note the "A B C... 1 2 3 4.." label at the cable itself.

I don't believe this cable is actually plenum-rated; no stamping on the cable itself indicates plenum rating.The cable itself also came twisted so that there are numerous weak spots in the cable, causing the inside wires to either already be broken or brittle.After numerous cabling attempts with too many defects, I've tossed this in the trash and an starting over with a reputable Ethernet cable manufacturer.

No issue using this cable. Speed is staple and fast.

Finally decided to do some proper cabling from router to other rooms for Ethernet. Everything you’d expect in a quality cable. My only issue is the way its wound together. A little difficult to unwind but it’s to be expected
