I was really disappointed when my CMPLE cable arrived with a damaged section. It seems to be a fluke, but I couldn’t use the entire roll. I contacted customer service, but it took a while to get a response. Wouldn't recommend buying this online.

Decent cable but packaging issues
The CMPLE plenum-rated cable seems solid, but it arrived in a slightly damaged box which made me a bit nervous. The cable itself is working fine for now, and I appreciate the bare copper construction. Just wish it had a better shipping experience!

Easy to work with and reliable
I’m really happy with this 1000ft Cat5e cable from CMPLE. It’s CMP rated, which is great for plenum spaces, and the bare copper makes a noticeable difference in speed. I’m setting up a home network for gaming, and this cable does the job!

Great cable for home networking needs
I bought this CMPLE 24AWG Cat5e bulk cable to run ethernet around my new home office. The 1000ft length was just what I needed, and it’s been working perfectly so far. The solid blue color blends nicely with my walls, too!

Just okay, not what I expected
While I appreciate the long length of this cable, the performance hasn't been as great as I had hoped. My speeds are decent, but occasionally it drops, which can be frustrating. It’s a good backup for now, but I might look for something else later.
