2.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Monster Cable DS100 C5-8-1K DataSpeed 100 C5-8 Home Network Data Wire CAT 5 (1000 ft. Pull Box) (Electronics)
The main use of a product like this is to wire an office or home lan connecting for example a pc in one room with a router in another. In this situation you can use keystone jacks that fit into a special wallplate similar to a telephone jack. You punchdown the wire into the jack. Use premade patchcords from the pc to wallplate, router to wallplate etc. It's about 3 times as much as it should be for the quality of product.

Why buy it?, January 17, 2001

I have worked with CAT-5 cable. I have used it in spool form (like this product) which requires you to attach your own adapters. And I have used it in precut lengths in which the vendor attaches the adapters. If your time is worth more than 25 cents per hour, then I suggest you will be more satisfied with precut lengths. I can hardly imagine an end-use situation in which buying a spool of this stuff would make sense.
