Since the wire itself is very good, there isn't much to say on the subject. I can offer a few tips for those rewiring their house and using this cable in the walls and attic. Remember that the main thing which defines this cable as CAT6 rated over CAT5 is the center insulation piece that prevents EMI in the twisted pairs running parallel inside the cable. You paid a lot of extra money for CAT6 over 5, so don't cancel that built in protection by introducing external sources of EMI:
~ Avoid as much as possible running this wire near any electrical romex or sockets. Definitely do not pull your CAT6 runs in parallel with any power lines.
~ Eventually you might need to run near an electrical line or two, so make sure to do it perpendicular, like a cross. Be sure to staple the lines in place using soft plastic or insulated clips MADE FOR CAT6. Do not use the standard metal staples for romex. Something like this can be found easily at your local BigBox store: http://amzn.com/B007TMYTK4
~ Try not to leave extra lengths of cable that you would need to coil up. Measure twice and cut what you need to the right length because coiling can also introduce EMI.
~ Try and install your CAT6 boxes in a different bay of the wall from any electrical outlets that way you gain a little EMI protection using the studs and fire breaks as a barrier.
~ Be very careful when stripping the outside plastic sheathing. You want to BARELY score it, DO NOT SLICE ALL THE WAY THROUGH. You want to use a test scrap of THIS cable and adjust your striping tool so that it very lightly scores the sheath, then you can pull on the outside until it snaps cleanly away at the score line. You should see white stretched material all the way around the cut. If you want to be extra careful, score and pull the sheath, then use the inside string to pull back another 2 inches of sheath and trim. Cut away all the wire where you scored the first time so there is NO CHANCE you might have accidentally sliced the twisted pair insulation.
There are many Youtube videos that help explain how to layout, pull, strip, and connect CAT6 so spend an hour planning and learning. Your results will benefit greatly.

UPDATE 1/17/2016:
One of the things I forgot to mention in this review is that if you are going to pull cat6 lines throughout your house, it would be prudent to bring two lines to each location. Frankly, it would be unwise NOT to do so...
1) You can't have too much connectivity to your home network, especially in a world where even toasters and refrigerators are "smart" devices.
2) My home didn't have telephone lines run in the walls. Instead, I had a telecom hatchet job along the baseboards and forced under the edge of the carpet. Being a fickle millennial, I don't have any need for a land telephone line, so I removed all those unsightly RJ11 lines stapled to the baseboards and ran two CAT6 lines in the walls to each location instead. There is no difference between RJ11 and RJ45 (that's the ethernet connector for the too lazy to google audience) in terms of the cable, outside of the fact that cat6 carries 8 wires while typical telephone lines carry only 4 wires. In terms of telephone performance, a copper wire is a copper wire, so you can consider each cat6 line to be the equivalent of two telephone lines. Savvy? If you ever find yourself in need of a telephone line, you can simply down convert one of your CAT6 lines by wiring up just four connectors to an RJ11 terminal and BOOM, you're back in the late 1980's! Actually this can be quite handy in a situation like needing to install land line for a security system.
I am pleased as punch so many people have found my review helpful. Several people have personally emailed me questions, so I thought it would be helpful to put a couple good links in my review explaining how to terminate CAT6 wires:
[...]
[...]
TekSyndicate is fantastic, if not beyond nerdy. Then again, at this point you have read over a 1000 words on how to wire up your home network yourself...so who are we kidding, you're a nerd! Embrace it! Good luck and keep the questions coming!
UPDATE 3/22/2016:
It has come to my attention that I used CAT6 connectors which were intended for stranded wire, not solid. It wasn't until now that I even realized this since someone sent me an email about it. So far my network lines work just fine, but I guess technically they are only CAT5E because of this mistake? Basically at some point I will go back and replace the few connectors I crimped with the proper ones for CAT6 solid wire. They should look like this: Cable Matters 2 Pack, Cat6 Modular Plugs with Load Bars for Solid Cables 100 Pieces per Pack . That is not a product endorsement since I have not used these personally yet, I just wanted to include a link for reference so you can see the difference.
UPDATE 6/26/2019:
This wire is still going strong. Its so nice to have everything possible hardwired in my home. I recently added a POE camera system to the house using Amcrest POE cams, a POE gigabit switch, and this wire--perfection. Zero problems after nearly 5 years of service.
Before I go into the review of the cabling, I'll discuss the various components used for the network:
Router: D-Link DIR-655 Extreme-N Gigabit Wireless Router (Note: This router was pre-existing; not purchased for this project.)
Switch: TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Standard Switch (8 x 10/100/1000Mbps)
Cabling: Cable Matters 1000ft Bulk Cat6 Cable UTP Solid In-Wall Rated (CM) 550MHz 23AWG in Yellow ; 2 Ft (2ft) Cat6 Ethernet Network Patch Cable Blue RJ45 m/m (10 PACK)
Wallplates: Leviton 41080-4WP QuickPort Wallplate, Single Gang, 4-Port, White ; Leviton 43080-S12 QuickPort Wallplate, Dual Gang, 12-Port, Stainless Steel
Keystone Jacks: Leviton 6G108 (could not find on Amazon)
Miscellaneous: Cable Clips - Your Cable Store 100 Pack White Nail In Ethernet Cable Clips 6mm ; Blank inserts - Leviton R04-41084-W Blank Inserts ; Punchdown tool - DataShark 70034 110 Non-Impact Punchdown Tool ; Low-voltage old-work brackets; Corded drill and 1" spade bit; Steel fish tape; Miscellaneous other tools
The home network consists of a central wiring point where the router, switch, 12-port wallplate, and 2 foot cables are located and 5 destination rooms receiving two runs of cabling each. The cabling is all run within pre-existing walls or within my attic crawlspace. The 12-port wallplate holds 10 Cat6 keystone jacks and each destination has a wallplate with 2 Cat6 keystone jacks in it.
I chose to use this cabling for several reasons:
1) I utilized Cat6 cabling instead of less expensive Cat5e in an attempt to future-proof this installation. If you're never run cabling through existing walls and attics before you should know that it is VERY hard work. The small increase in cost for Cat6 versus Cat5e will be repaid several times over if I don't have to do this work a second time.
2) Solid cable should be used when installing within walls as it is of a higher quality and is easier to work with because it is stiffer. This is as compared to stranded cabling, which is what is typically used in patch cables and will run from a computer to the wall jack. Solid cable is easier to push through walls due to its stiffness while stranded cabling is easier to work with outside of an installation environment.
3) I selected the yellow color cable due to where I was installing it - in the attic. My attic already contained white electrical cabling so I wanted a color that would stand out differently from that cabling. I felt that the yellow would be easier to see in dimly lit areas than some of the other colors and would still stand out from the existing white cabling. This turned out to be true.
I found working with this cabling to be very easy. It pulls from the box with little effort and slides well through walls and holes drilled in framing top plates. It even ran well in an exterior wall where it had to slide between the insulation and the drywall. The cable has the number of feet remaining printed directly on it, so you are able to easily tell how much you've run (helpful when blindly dropping it down a wall) or if you're in danger of running out of wire. Connecting the wire to the keystone jacks was relatively easy and the quality of the cable definitely assisted with that.
After the installation was completed, I ran some performance tests to assess the results of the installation. The network was transmitting data at 890 megabits/second between the two farthest runs of cabling. This works out to about 111 megabytes/second and is close to the theoretical maximum for a gigabit network and is pretty much the same as other real-world tests show as a maximum speed.
All in all, this was a difficult project due to the amount of work and the areas the wire was being run it, but the wire itself made things as easy as possible. I would highly recommend this product to anyone seeking to install a home network.
Very impressed with the speed of the delivery via Amazon Prime. It was almost too fast as I made a couple of mistakes in ordering. Note that there are other cable ratings such as riser-rated (I only needed in-wall rated) and be careful not to order the stranded wire that is typically used for patch cables.
The pull box arrived in good condition. I did have to put some duct tape on one box seem to keep it together after some use, but no issues otherwise. All of the cable runs tested fine and are now in use. I would definitely recommend this product from Cable Matters. Only very minor issue was it was not available in blue color outer insulation, but the purple was fine with me as a second choice.
Update Jan 2016: Made some additional cable runs using all but a few feet from the box. All of the runs tested fine. Had to replace a run of Cat5 that the installer put in out of his own separate material (different brand)l, that did not test. Now looking to install some PoE IP security cameras and need to purchase another box.

Das Kabel macht was es soll - Daten von einem Ende zum anderen transportieren. Über die möglichen Geschwindigkeiten kann ich nichts sagen - dazu hab ich nicht die richtigen Geräte dran hängen. Mir reichts.
Ich war nur etwas überrascht dass im Kabel keine Schirmung verbaut ist wie bei dem anderen Cat.6 das ich schon zuhause hatte.
