I used this to wire replace all the Cat5e runs throughout my entire home. It is fat! If you drilled holes for Cat5e, you'll have to drill them bigger for Cat6. (like I did). Terminating the ends with modular plugs is a bit more of a challenge, but not impossible. I used the cable in conjunction with Monoprice Cat6 keystone jacks and wall plates. I had great results with those products as well. My network is happily humming along at Gigabit speed, thanks to Monoprice!

PROS: Cost, quality

CONS: Fat and stiff compared to Cat5e. (but expected)

I've used this type of cable multiple times for wiring several homes and it works great. Easy to pull and great for your high speed connections. Don't hesitate just buy it.

PROS: Great price

Exactly what I needed

Good quality

It comes in blue :p

CONS: Wish I could get it next day :)

I recently purchased a house and wanted to wire everything for ethernet, telephone, and cable. I bought 2 boxes to help speed things up when pulling cables. I'm now purchasing a 3rd box because I didn't have enough.



Ended up doing 4 drops per room (2 cat6 ethernet, 1 cat6 telephone, 1 coax). I figured if myself or the new owner if I sell the house wants an extra ethernet they can remove the telephone jack and swap out to rj45 keystone for an extra ethernet port.



I always buy my cables from Monoprice. Always good quality and low cost!

PROS: Low cost. Good quality.

CONS: Only had one snag

5/5

PROS: Great product, fast delivery, easy to order.
If I need more, I'll buy from Monoprice again.

I HAVE GONE THRU 4 PALLETS OF THIS PRODUCT AND VERY HAPPY. Do Not take the outer shipping box off the factory box. The factory box will NOT stay closed on its own. We had to buy packing tape to hold many closed. Shipping moves them around then when you place in vehicle to move to storage then back to the vehicle and end up at the site, ya tale tape.

This was my first time working with a CAT6 cable as well as any cable rated above the most basic rating (CMR, in this case). It was great to work with and provides high quality signal strength. I would definitely buy this again if I needed more CAT6 cables.

Note: I was using a wire tester to ensure that I had made the appropriate connections to the jacks/patch panel but the 7 and 8 pins were lighting up together on the receiving end when the emitter would try to put a signal out on those pins. I eventually realized that the test cable I was using to connect the receiver to the jacks was a CAT5e cable. I made a short bit of CAT6 cable with a plug on each end just for testing purposes and then I saw the 7 and 8 pins started lighting up correctly like the others. If anyone else experiences an oddity with an of the pairs not lighting up correctly, first thing I would say to check is that you aren't using two different kinds of cables (like CAT5e + CAT6). The whole thing, end to end, needs to be the same cable type.

PROS: The cable was stiff and well-insulated, but I actually found that to be a big plus. I needed to run my cables through the attic which has a lot of rough wooden bits and some nails sticking out in places, so the extra thickness and stiffness helped to ensure the cable was in a good position and wasn't damaged when I had to pull it through the walls to the attic and vice versa.

CONS: There's an X-shaped plastic divider that helps separate the four pairs of wires. It's great for adding support and interior insulation but it can make working with the wires a bit difficult since they don't shift around as easily.

Was looking for Cat6 cable for my new house. Searched the web and found Monoprice. Have ordered other products as a result of the great products and services. Recommend.

PROS: Delivered On time, High Quality Product at the best price.

CONS: None

The quality of this cable is totally worth it. Not only is the price great, but you are totally getting your money's worth. After having run 10,000' of honeywell, I ran this on some runs. I have half the snags and much more confidence in the pull at the end.

4/5

PROS: Price of cable is very good and time between ordering and receipt of order was extremely fast. 10s on those items.

CONS: Shipping charge seems to be a bit high. I would prefer lower cost and slower delivery to save some on the shipping if possible. Only a 6 on this item.

Excellent pricing and expeditious shipping. Always order from this group
