outer shell is a bit thin and not regular/circular... while stripping you should be careful, o/w you damage copper wires and start over again...

The cable was good quality, but it didn't come an easy to use pull box. Therefore it made it difficult to pull without getting tangled

Hi, We apologize that the cables didn't come as easy to use pull box and that it was tangled. you may reach out to us by submitting an online inquiry, initiating a chat or by phone at 1-866-979-7463.

It's great when you don't need a 500' spool, but it's just a big coil of wire, so you need to have some way of keeping it from becoming spaghetti when you're pulling cable. The length markings are nice.

As the rest of reviewers, I will say that the cable looks alright for the price. Hard to beat. BUT. And that's a big one. How much more expensive would it be to put this on a cardboard roll? As soon as I removed the tight wrapping, I was careful to not pull to tangle it, but forget it. It's so twisted up that it instantly tangled, knotted and what have you. I had to grab an old electric wiring metal roll and have two of my guys to untangle the thing so I could roll it up properly. I don't know what happens when they roll it up, but all it wants to do is uncurl itself which leads to a complete and utter mess. In the time I wasted un-tangling this thing, I could have run the cables already. Next time i'm shelling out for the box.
