ICC Female to Open End 25-Pair Telco Cable 15ft Cat3 24AWG vs Phone Cable 300ft Roll, 4x1/0.4 26 AWG, RJ11-4P4C, Tupavco TP801
Overall winner: ICC Female to Open End 25-Pair Telco Cable 15ft Cat3 24AWG
Key Differences
ICC's 25-pair Cat3 telco cable (15 ft) is aimed at multi-pair telco terminations with 24 AWG solid bare copper and a 50-pin 90° telco connector, making it better for structured telco punchdowns. Tupavco's product is a long 300 ft spool of 4-conductor 26 AWG phone cable suited for single-line RJ11 phone runs and bulk installs, but its thinner gauge and some reports of brittleness limit heavy-duty use
