Pros & Cons
Pros
This is heavy-gauge cat6+ cable. It has a cross-shaped plastic separator that runs the entire length of the cable. The stiffness of the heavy-gauge conductors makes it simplicity itself to get the cable properly inserted into an rj45 plug.
The only downside is amazon's packing techniques. Cat6 has more twists which may have better performance but in real world time you won't notice a difference. Just keep in mind the cable length limitations.
You will need fish-tape to guide or pull through wall cavities.
The od is a tad larger than cat 5e so it is a bit snug in the rj45 connector. I actually think this makes it more sturdy.
Cons
Functionally the cable is fine, but yellow and orange are not bright. Internet searches lead you to amazon website and give you the impression that it is what you're getting. What a waste.
A standard wire sheathe remover ends up clipping the inside pairs causes them to break. No tape, only tucked-in edges for heavy cable. Had to manually feed out cable from bundle and fight tangles.
Highlights
Quality
Conductors are solid, jacket is durable and cable showed no signs of damage after extensive man-handling.
It's well made and i just installed over 48 cat 6 runs.
It’s snag on the plastic ring and stress the plastic of the wire.
It's hard to grab and does not cut the plastic well.
Price
Very pleased with price , and turn around time .
Never had any issues, it's reasonably priced and comes in decent colors
Packaging/appearance
Came in the pull box as shown, and pulls nicely.
Box was a little beat up on arrival, but other than that, exactly what i need!
The coil inside the carton either had kinks or got kinks when pulled out of the box.
The box could be taped securely shut so the sides do not come open.

Be sure to get cat6 connectors and expect this cable to be snug because of its thick gauge
