I am very happy with the purchase. The original CAT5 cable that I replaced appeared to be a slightly larger gauge, but I believe it was a composite of copper and aluminum. The new cable appears to be full copper. Performance has been good (over 400 MBPS) on even the longest runs of cable that I've installed (around 150 ft). Cable is also working well for new wiring runs to POE cameras. Happy with price/quality.

Exactly as directed

Awesome cable. I wish the bulk cat6 cable I purchased was easy as this to terminate.

Just as described. Arrived before the shipping estimate.

Needed more CAT5e cable to add another Ethernet drop to my existing CAT5e Network. This cable did the trick. I always buy Ethernet cable in bulk. The last box of 1000 feet finally ran out. Monoprice has the best price for good quality CAT5e cable. I am running gigabit speeds with it all over my house without any problems.

The cable had tons of tangles in the box. Quality of the cable is great however you cant pull it by yourself. Someone NEEDS to watching the box to make sure you don't get loops like this. We had 10 times at least where we needed to stop and take the box apart to get the tangles out. I think the problem is the he box is too small and the cable loops too tight.

pulled out of box harder than other boxes I've had..

Cable is good. Box quality is poor. Box comes open and plastic opening where cable comes out was broke. Tape fixes the box and a hole to stick cable in keeps cable from falling back inside box.

good quality ,fast shipping easy to work with material

My company has decided to add a few drops through out our office building. I purchased this cable due to the affordable price they are offering. The over all cable is durable and extreamly well constructed this cable surpasses any thing that you could buy from the local hardware store. I would recommend this cable to any one who is looking for a reasonably priced CAT5e bulk cable.
