Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Reelex-Box packaging eliminates tangles and speeds up cable pulls during installation
- Riser-rated jacket is code-compliant for vertical runs between building floors
- 1000ft spool length reduces the need for splices on longer projects

- Blue color is the only option in this SKU, limiting color-coding flexibility
- Solid conductor riser cable requires punch-down termination rather than direct plug crimping
