StarTech.com 1000ft Bulk Blue CMR Cat6 Solid UTP Riser Ethernet Cable - 23AWG, High-Speed Network Cable for Office, Home & Data Centers - Ideal for Structured Wiring & Network Installations

Had to replace a run of cat 5e, so decided to go with cat 6.The cable is well constructed, solid copper conductors, nice even twist on the individual pairs, and the core maintains a good even inter-pair twist.Slightly thicker than the cat 5e it replaced (but that was expected), and slightly stiffer (that was expected too).The extra stiffness helps to avoid making too small radius bends.The only slight negative is the box. It is rather flimsy. It had not survived the tender mercies of Amazon, with a hole punched in it (before shipping apparently, it was in a box much too large for it, with nothing to stop it flying around in the box, but nothing to explain the hole in the box as the outer box was ok). The box was coming open on both sides. A quick dose of gorilla tape fixed that.Given the weight of the cable, a slightly beefier box would be better.
