Both 100' spools of this wire came in TWO pieces.I discovered that I'd have to splice it halfway through a difficult install. URHHHH!!!! Avoid these problems by buying other vendor's products.

I have installed this within walls during construction and have not used it carrying a signal yet, so cannot give any opinion on that. The thing that bothers me though, is that the 100' rolls were actually a little less than 90' long, causing me to call Amazon about the problem. Amazon, to their credit, stood up to more than their responsibility and gave me a discount on another spool of the cable, making up for the shortage.

I ordered a 100 foot roll and only received 91 feet. I needed to make three pieces: 39', 34' and 27' for my home theater. Now I have to buy a whole new 50' roll to complete the job. I noticed someone else had commented on only getting 45' from a 50' roll. I thought it just may be a fluke with the 50' rolls... Guess not! Seems like China likes cutting corners. If you need all 100 feet, or don't like getting gipped, then this isn't the wire for you.

I bought several 100' spools of the Metra "Raptor" 12-gauge wire for wiring a 7.1 Surround system, used for in-wall wiring in my new house prior to the drywall being installed. The cost of copper has caused the cost of speaker wire to skyrocket over the past couple of years, but 12-gauge is the way to go if you intend on having long runs of speaker wire through your house or office.
The price of the Metra 12-gauge wire was as good as I could find anywhere, even after searching eBay for several hours. I pulled this wire through holes that I drilled in floor joists and wall studs without problems, the wire sheathing never tore or cracked, so it's definitely durable. If you're looking for reasonably-priced wire that will more than do the job, the Metra "Raptor" 12-gauge wire is great stuff.

so I hire an electrican, get ready to install wiring for a home theatre system ,and find out that my 3 runs are all 3 feet short. I pull them, and they are all 30 feet not 33. Boy am I annoyed. Went back and found another reviewer with the same experience. Guess I should have been less trusting
