Ratings & Reviews for Southwire 500-ft 23 CAT 6 4 Riser Blue Data Cable Pull box
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this cable for reliable performance, fast stable connections, and ease of installation. Many report near-gigabit speeds up to 935 Mbps and dramatic improvements over Cat 5e, with seamless connectivity across multiple rooms. Reviewers highlight smooth pulling through walls and attics, clean stripping, and successful large-scale installations exceeding 1,500 feet. The thicker gauge, 100-foot spool size, and affordable price point are frequently commended. However, some express frustration that the cable lacks the internal crossfiller spline required for true Cat 6 compliance, functioning more like enhanced Cat 5e. Despite this concern, most customers find it effective for typical home networking needs.

Would RecommendThis is great cable and grate for a little patch cables
This is NOT CAT 6 cable! BEWARE! Missing isolator!
Would Not RecommendThis is NOT Cat 6 cable despite what Southwire says and is falsely labeled. This cable is missing the very important crossfiller that is designed to isolate the four twisted pairs. I went through EVERY package of Southwire Cat 6 cable in the store and not a single one had the crossfiller. I do not know how this is still an issue with Southwire after users have been reporting this very problem for years! Yes, this cable is noticeably thicker gauge than the Cat 5e from Southwire, but it is sti...

Ran about 1800 feet of cat6 cables work great
Would RecommendWorked great
It is what it is and does what it says.
It is what it is and worked just fine for our needs. While not the top of the line, or the usual brand we use, it worked for the project we used it for and hasnt given us any problems.

Not one working cable
Would Not RecommendI've been making cables for almost 20 years and this is the first time that I have consistently gotten cables, from a box, that have not worked. I have bought new hardware to try different things and this will absolutely not work on anything. It will pass a test, But it will not work.
Pretty good
Would RecommendGood thick wire. Had a tendency to kink up on long runs though.
