Cat 6

[PCFlegling]

Can you guys send me any websites that offer 100 ft of solid core cat 6? I found a lows website but Im not sure the quality is good. Thanks

Any particular reason you want solid core? It's generally a pain in the ass to work with.

Better at longer distances and I also want to use keystone jacks

...yes... maybe...? Debatable. But that's not anything you need to worry about anyway... Not over a 100ft run. If you were getting near the 100m rating limit I would understand the concern.

??? you can use keystone jacks without solid core. it doesn't matter

 

Either way, I have never had an issue with monoprice.

Lowe's?

 

If it's the Southwire brand I found on their site, that's going to be a good product.

I heard it is way harder to do keystone jacks with stranded cable and since its my first time wiring I dont want to take chances

It's commercial grade, it will be high quality. I'm also fairly certain Southwire has been specified on commercial projects I've seen.

Darn! Its out of stock! And its a good price too for that amount! I was looking through the website but I never saw that

typically if you want solid core you want to buy the kind of cables they lay into walls, i personally did that with CAT7 cables and they are really solid but obviously only good if you dont want to move them.
