Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £22.06 ex‑VAT you’re getting a decent, no-drama run of CAT6 that’s clearly aimed at everyday wiring jobs where reliability matters more than “premium” branding. The fact it’s individually tested and has strain relief is the kind of boring detail that saves you headaches in real sites—especially if this cable is going to get moved, routed around racks, or plugged/unplugged during commissioning. At 100ft/30m length, it also suits the classic “patch point to nearby gear” use case without needing to stage extra hardware or shorten runs.

That said, I’d only buy this if your use case genuinely needs CAT6 at that distance. If you’re connecting fixed endpoints (e.g., a switch to a wall port) and you can manage shorter lengths, you’ll generally get better performance headroom and fewer weird edge-case complaints from long runs and poor termination practices. Also, “100ft” is a long patch cable for many offices—long cables can be more awkward to route neatly, and they’re more likely to end up getting pinched or snagged if your install discipline isn’t great (even with snagless tips). Overall: solid buy for resellers and IT teams doing straightforward patching where test/strain relief gives you confidence, but not the one I’d choose if you’re building a careful, long-term structured cabling solution or want the most flexible/forgiving install.
