you should have lawyered up like the others. monoprice lost in court, and the house was re-wired on their dime.
smh
Cracks = breaks in the copper cladding = slow speeds or no speeds.
Solid copper cable can also crack with enough bending, which is why it shouldn't be used as patch cable.
Plenum is rated for use inside plenums, which are open spaces between a drop ceiling and the floor above it that are used as part of the HVAC system. (See the picture below)
There's no harm in using CMP cable in a home, but paying for "low smoke" wire that's going to be installed in a high smoke wood building isn't going to accomplish much.

Price for that type of cable is 250-400$ in 1000' roll.
Ethernet can be used for so many things. It should be in all homes, as much as possible.

The problem is that at some point you need to weigh costs. Cat6 is sufficient for most people's needs. If I were running cable in my home I'd probably opt for cat7 at this point - even though it's more expensive and more difficult to terminate.

I was just saying that if I were wanting to future-proof my home as best I could, I'd opt for CAT7. I probably have under 1000ft of CAT5e in my 5 y.o. home, and it does its job as well as ever, but there are a few jacks I'd honestly prefer be CAT6a at this point (specifically from a desktop to my basement where I've got my primary switch and servers.) My builder simply wasn't willing to run anything more than CAT5e. Even now, it's not a need by any stretch, but it'd be "nice." Doing that run in CAT7 would more than double my cost, but even if I had to pay an extra $100 for the cabling and the termination, it'd be well worth it to me at this point. But in 5 years, who can say if that doesn't become a "need" for me? Maybe 10 years? Point being, spending $100 now rather than having to run new cable (and repairing drywall) is worth it to me, but that's me (and I'm certainly not "typical" in that regard. I'd venture to say that most people at this point do not have a single 10Gbps NIC - let alone switch - in their home.)
So what *I* would do (put in a few runs of CAT7) isn't what most people would or should do.
This CAT6 cable is really more than enough for most residential (and many business) needs.
