Syston Cable TechnologyCat 6E Ethernet Network Cable - 100 FT，600MHz 23AWG Solid Bare Copper Wire Outdoor/Indoor, Bulk No Ends 10 Ft to 1000 Ft Available, Heat Resistant Riser Rated - CMR

Rewired my house with CAT 6E ethernet (not an official standard, I'm told) and chose the Syston brand because was a bit heavier -- 23 AWG, was available in the three colors and lengths I wanted, when I wanted it. I found it easy to pull and terminate. I only gave it four stars because one cable I made from a 30 foot section proved defective due to an internal short in that segment of wire. It is possible it came that way from the factory, and it is equally possible I damaged it when pulled the cable. Photo shows the cable drop from ceiling to the point where it enters my rack.

Absolutely love their cables. Please do yourself a favor and buy these cables! Solid Copper (makes it easier to the RJ45 connectors as well. DO NOT buy CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire), sometimes abbreviated to CCA.. It is cheaper, but not worth it. If you want the best, stick to solid copper (if you have to, go with stranded copper), but I recommend staying with solid copper.

I'm not sure what other reviewers have found but there is nothing wrong with this cable I purchased. Is it as "thick" as true CAT6 cable selling for 3x as much? no. It is a little on the thinner side but does that matter to you? If so, buy the 3x the cost cable. If you want speed and results and you want to save a few bucks than this cable is for you! I have a run over 100ft, down the wall, through the basement ceiling, through a few joists, back up a wall and into the room on the far side of the house. WiFi 6 mesh router does about 250mbs to the computer in this room. Wired up with this Syston Cable you can see my results off of Verizon Gigabit service.The upload speed is due to the Asus ZenWifi mesh router that doesn't place nice with Verizon. If I switch to a direct off the Verizon node box hook up, the download speed is the same in the 800 range and upload is in the 800 range. Not sure what more people could expect from this cable.

I did purchase when the main description still displayed this as Cat6A riser, even though it's really Cat6 riser cable that is supposed to exceed Cat6 specifications. It has "Cat 6 Plus 550 MHz" stamped all throughout the cable jacket, but I don't think there is a "Cat 6 Plus" standard. I was going to return it since this isn't really Cat6A cable, but decided to keep it since I don't think I'll need 10G ethernet over distances that Cat 6A provides for any time soon in the house. Plus, it looks like they sell this brand cable at a certain large home improvement retailer with an orange colored squarish logo, so it probably isn't too bad.Anyway, used almost 400 ft to provide wire to 4 POE capable access points (some ceiling mounted and others connected from a newly installed wall jack) spread through the house. Terminated the other ends to a patch panel which then connects to a managed POE switch which in turn is connected to a router (not wireless). The switch settings show all access points are connected at 1Gbps duplex which is the max capable of the switch and router and the access points are receiving the required POE (power over ethernet) from the switch. Basically, the cable is working as it should.Made some spare (various length) cables terminated with RJ45 Cat6 rated connectors using some of the remaining cable. All in all, very easy cable to work with. I did eventually wire one room with Cat6A in-wall rated cable (another brand) which was thicker/bulkier, but also did work.

Today, I took some time and did a ‘scientific’ experiment: I bought two boxes of Cat6e CMR and Cat6 CMP – the only difference being the low-smoke insulation. So, what’s the result?The Cat6e cable with 0.52 mm (24 AWG) conductors is likely a hybrid solution based on Cat5e, but with improvements (twist rate and separator identical to Cat6) to achieve Cat6 performance. The marketing strategy of labeling it as Cat6e (including claims of 600 MHz) and using terms like “annealed copper” creates the impression of an enhanced product. While the outer sheath complies with fire safety standards (CMR and CMP), the internal cable construction – thinner conductors and a smaller separator – points to space-saving optimizations during installation (the bundle is smaller).As a result, the length specifications may look like this due to the cross-section and resistance:• For PoE (802.3af): up to 70 meters.• For PoE+ (802.3at): up to 50-60 meters.• For PoE++ (802.3bt): up to 40-50 meters.• Without PoE (data transmission only): standard 100 meters.For standard Cat6 with 0.57 mm (23 AWG) conductors and a rated frequency of 550 MHz:• For all types of PoE and data transmission without PoE, the standard 100 meters is supported, with some reductions for PoE++ (down to 70-90 meters).In conclusion, Cat6e is a marketing product with characteristics that may suit specific short-distance applications, but it falls short of full Cat6 performance in terms of length and power delivery when using PoE, especially in office and commercial environments where electrical interference can be present. However, it does save space during installation.P.S. I’d say the day wasn’t wasted!

I made several runs with this cable and have had no problems. Upgraded from cat 5. Easy to work with.
