Cat5e should have four pair twisted wire. When I cut the cable, and found all 8 wires are not twisted. Un-Twisted cable is unstable, and is not good for long distance.

The Seller will ship you this item very fast, however this Cat5E cable is used - not new. It states new but that's BS, because it shows wear from prior staples and white paint from walls. Also I feel the need to let everyone know that you truly don't know what type of cable they send u because it has no markings on it declaring it a Cat5E cable like all 100 or so I have. It may be or it may just be the older standard of Cat5, which is very irresponsible. Other than these few complaints the cable works fine and its long.

RiteAV - Cat5e Network Ethernet Cable 100ft arrived on time from seller. Quality of cable is sub standard. If you plug in the cable as is, like most people do, it should work. So what's the big deal? But I used it to install cable wiring thru the walls and so I had to cut the cable to the desire length. When reconnecting the cable, I notice the copper wire (most important part of the cable) was thin and wrapped with extra thick plastic insulation for needed support; otherwise the wire might fall apart. Also no fiberglass insulating material like other better cables, just lots of plastic to appear thicker. Because the copper was thin and the plastic was thick, connecting it to RJ45 cable plugs and wall plugs was a nightmare. No good connections as the thin copper could not make proper contact because of the extra thick plastic, so I had to trim off the plastic from each and every small wire individually for every single plug point and hope that the wire does not fall apart. Note: there are 8 small twisted wires running thru the Ethernet cable. Very disappointed and full of regrets, it was too late to turn back as I had cut the cable and fished it thru walls. Anyone reading this should consider spending a few dollars more for a better name brand cable like "Belkin".
