Network Cables

hopefully BJC has shown to be consistently honest?

When I've ordered there is a Fluke certification report included.

Right, it's like a report card showing graph like results.

Our internet was slow in our condo and SWMBO needed as good a connection as possible for a work from home deal during CoViD. I spent the extra for BJC before BSA talked me into saving my money in the future but my confidence in pretty much anything BJC is high. Plus their articles on various cable topics make getting past BS marketing claims easier on my wallet.

Panduit and Tripp-lite handle it a bit differently. They guarantee their cables will pass spec and replace it if they don't.

Have you seen cable (bulk) fail? What do you buy, pre-made or boxes/rolls? Do you strip off some of the end at the start of a roll or box? I just had a pre-made cable fail- not sure why, since it has absolutely no signs of damage.
