Customer Reviews for Southwire 100 ft. Gray 24/4 Solid CU CAT5e CMR (Riser) Data Cable

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Workers great

Wire did what is was supposed to. Boxes make the wire pulling easy. Did not have any tangles or issues.

It is regular RG-6 with dual shielding purchased for satellite runs. We'll see if I need to upgrade to quad-shield but this seems like a decent value compared to others.

I wired my home (10 jacks in 7 rooms) many years ago with 4-strand 'phone' cable (cat3) because 100mb data only used four out of the eight wires. And it was significantly cheaper back in those days than cat5. And wireless - in my experience - is not nearly as fast as any ethernet connections. But with gigabit service, 4-strand wires won't work - stuck at 100mb. So I decided it was time to replace the 4-strand cat3 with real 8-strand cat5 cable. And it's really affordable now! What I like the most about this cable is that the colors are bright and easy to distinguish. For example, the blue, green, orange, and brown colors in some other cables are washed out and hard to tell them apart without perfect lighting and some magnification - especially when inserting the wires into an RJ-45 plug. With this cable, perfect cable plugs every time! And the box is a good dispenser - cable comes out 'straight' for the most part unlike off a spool or reel that may tend to coil up. This cable is easy to work with, affordable, and no shipping charges as it was in stock on the shelf.

Easy to handle, performs as expected

The cable installed easily from the box and was operational.

Excellent quality.

It worked fine

Son used this cable and is pleased.

Decent flexibility but with enough rigidity to feed through walls, good grade copper (easy to strip/terminate), also compatible with a RJ45 plug - crimps well and the jacket is held tightly.Great for running lines throughout a building.

The cable is top notch and very well insulated. We are building a house and used every inch of the 500 foot roll.

Performed as expected.

Exactly what I needed to wire several rooms for Ethernet. Good quality cable and easy to dispense from the case with little or no kinking. Well insulated for indoor-grade cable.

Excellent

As a telecom company we would appreciate it if you had more in stock at your stores. Also, we need it in various colors. We need more panduit options please!

Box of cable looked like it had been opened and partially used. Had to buy it, was all they had left.

wire is a little soft. easily broken strands.

I ran new cables to all of my tv's and all work great , no more problems . Over time , cables and connectors can deteriorate and need to be replaced . This cable works .

Easy to pull without worrying about tangles. Did my entire 2 story house with one box!

Easy pull no tangles

Great!

Ran out of cable at about 8 p.m. fortunately there was a Home Depot close and we were able to buy enough cable to finish our project. I am not a fan of the Southwire cable but in this instance it was what I needed and what I could get to finish my job.

Feed nicely from box no tangles

cable is easy to dispense from the spool, much easier than the pull box types.

Flexible and easy to pull where needed. I haven't testing the signal quality yet, but so far very happy with my purchase.

Great product!

This cable offers great quality and good value.

Good

It was just perfect for the job i need it to do
