    Worked right out of the box. We crimped a 52 foot cable and got the expected speeds. If you're pulling a long cable, of course make sure you take care not to tug so hard you cause a copper breaking kink, same as any other box. It's spooled to standard in there. The cable is as thick as you'd expect a UTP to be, no extra space for the cable to rattle around but not so little that it'd in danger of kicking up at a 45° angle.
