Pros & Cons
Pros
This is my second 500ft box (although a different brand) and i still find myself using it in various settings and situations. The cable is good quality for what it is. Used 150' and test connectivity, no issues.
Cons
Vivo needs to seriously rethink how they try and sell their cables.
Just bending a cable often causes it to crease and discolor. Kept getting kinked when deployed from the box. I am having this spool refunded and replaced with a different manufacturer.

Good quality no data loss and easy to patch.
Unless maybe if your running poe security cameras-in which case i would go with cat6 (you dont need 6a-again your not wiring a datacenter).
Quality is good and i’m sure they’ll last a good while.

Shipping
Worked as needed and received in timely manner.
Packaging/appearance
Produce was as described, well packaged and easy to dispense and install.
The ethernet boxes were few and far between, so if i wanted to pick a safe and accessible placement for the phone i needed to m... Read More
Pull box had some snags and tangles in the wire that made it cumbersome to pull as advertised.

I just wanted to wire a few things up and didn’t want to pay a lot for cable

The roll bound up after about 100ft though so had to open it up and clear the jam
