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.

Cable is oxidized. This makes them unusable for power over ethernet (poe) do not use this cable for poe (power over ethernet) applications. Doesn't work for a poe camera.

Quality is good and i’m sure they’ll last a good while.

But if your wiring a house that has a bunch of devices that need a wired connection this is best cost wise.

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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