Network Cable Shootout - Belden, Hikvision, Honeywell, NavePoint CCA, Windy City Wire

Author: IPVM Team, Published on Nov 05, 2018

Every IP camera install needs UTP cabling. But how much of a difference is there between dirt cheap generic cables found online and the bigger, better-known brands claiming increased performance and/or labor savings?

network cable shootout 2

To find out, we bought 10 boxes of Cat 5e and 6 cabling from five manufacturers, pulling multiple runs with each and testing them to standards with Fluke's DSX-5000 cable certifier. Included in this test:

Inside, we answer these questions:

  • Who ranked best, average, and worst?
  • Did the cables pass certification tests?
  • Where did they fail, if at all?
  • Which offered the greatest headroom over minimum compliance?
  • How does solid copper compare to copper clad aluminum?
  • How easy was the cable to pull from the box?
  • How flexible was the jacket?
  • How easy to strip was the jacket?
  • Did twisting/bending deform the cable?
  • How did cable box features and usability vary?
  • Are all of the cables UL/ETL or other test lab listed?
  • Where is each cable made? (China vs Mexico vs USA)
  • How does pricing compare?
