250' Monoprice Cat5e 24AWG Stranded Pure Bare Copper Wire Ethernet Cable Expired

Very low quality cables. Make sure you don't run them near any other cables whether it be Ethernet or electrical. Ideally, you want to look for STP cables (shielded twisted pair). The twist will allow much faster data communication without collisions and the shield will help prevent crosstalk from other cables.

Great price for these cables otherwise.

Most of the cat 6 are twisted pair. Good to go folks for a house. Shielded with a plenum fire rating is only required for installation inside of plenums Most Monoprice 24 AWG Cat 6 are CMX certified BTW and twisted pair offer interference protection and can be used anywhere in a house including walls. Patch cables just mean stranded wire is used for ease of use and the molded ends are already on the product. Most people pull solid wire because it is easier to use the punch down connectors and the cable is cheaper in large rolls. Since this already has connectors it does not mater. Patch only means the connectors are on the cable and has nothing to do with how they are installed or used. Stranded is more flexible and not likely to break under constant flexing. Under 300 foot runs it may be be hard to tell the difference in solid versus stranded for home use. I can not find restrictions on using stranded, solid copper, cat 6 twisted cable in any walls.

If someone has pulled these exact cables through walls and had issues please chime in.

The last cables I bought were perfect and quality cables in every way. The only difference is these have no protective clip.

Monoprice Ethernet cables are made of 100% pure bare copper wire, as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in communications cables.
