VIVO Gray 250ft Bulk Cat6

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 250ft connector-free roll cuts to any run length you need
  • ✓ Solid 23 AWG conductors suit in-wall structured wiring
  • ✓ Pull-box spool feeds cable cleanly during solo installs
  • ✓ Dark gray jacket blends into baseboards and drop ceilings

Cons

  • ✗ CCA conductors, not pure copper, so not TIA/EIA copper-spec
  • ✗ Not UV rated, so no outdoor or exposed runs
  • ✗ Indoor-only rating rules out attic-to-detached-garage pulls
  • ✗ No connectors included; you buy and crimp your own RJ45

Manufacturer description

The VIVO CABLE-V015 is a 250-foot bulk Cat6 pull box built for wiring a house, office, or lab from scratch. The roll ships connector-free, so you terminate your own keystone jacks or RJ45 plugs at exactly the lengths your run needs instead of stacking pre-made patch cables. Inside the dark gray jacket sit four unshielded twisted pairs of solid 23 AWG CCA (copper clad aluminum) conductors, a spec that keeps the price down at 39.99 relative to pure-copper bulk Cat6 while still supporting standard Cat6 network installations. The spool box feeds cable out cleanly as you pull, which matters when…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored VIVO Gray 250ft Bulk Cat6 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro networking cards category. Compare with similarly-priced alternatives in the retro networking cards category before committing.

Common buyer scenarios for retro networking cards of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable pure copper or CCA?

It is solid CCA, copper clad aluminum, at 23 AWG. That is why it costs less than pure-copper bulk Cat6, but it does not meet the pure-copper requirement some inspectors and installers hold to.

Can I run this cable outdoors or underground?

No. VIVO lists it as indoor use only, and the jacket is explicitly not UV rated. Sunlight exposure will degrade it, so choose a direct-burial or outdoor-rated cable for exterior runs.

Does it come with RJ45 connectors already attached?

No, the 250ft roll is connector-free bulk cable. You supply and terminate your own RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks, which is what lets you cut each run to an exact length.

How long is the roll and how is it packaged?

It is a 250ft roll in an easy spool pull box, designed so the cable pays out smoothly while you pull it through walls, conduit, or ceilings.
