Beware

An unsettling trend in the cable industry relates to "no-name" Cat 5, six, and 6A solution. Unfortunately, a lot of this low-cost cable is produced from inferior components making use of questionable manufacturing processes.

In 2008 the Communications Cable & Connectivity Association tested nine brands of no-name cables, all of which were rated for use in risers or plenum spaces. Not one met the physical needs defined in TIA 568-B.2. Only 5 met the electrical test requirements defined in TIA 568-B.2 and one met the security needs defined by UL 1666 and NFPA 262. The chasm in the top quality procedure leaves end users exposed to security and efficiency risks that are entirely avoidable.
