We quit buying Shireen cable because of their spools. We finally gave up and re-spooled 5 spools of it onto other empty (comscope) plastic spools. We have also gotten that cable in on wooden spools and they are equally as bad! Poor quality seems to plague that cable company. The wooden spools are held together by 4 long bolts, but the bolts pull through the thin wood sides and the cable will not unspool and if you take it out of the box it is shipped in - - - - it scatters like a covey of Quail! What a nightmare.
I think we are going to have to stay with comscope :) till we hear something else :-) Mac > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 6:54 PM > To: WISPA General List > Subject: Re: [WISPA] outdoor CAT5 > > We have had similar issues but we had about a dozen of them break and > still counting.
