Very interesting, the Remee cable that certified as Cat 6 or better at around 225 feet bears the ETL mark and the Syston that barely cracked 5e at 104 feet carries the UL plus hologram stamp. Maybe Just a bad box? The Syston stuff is definitely off shore stuff according to my distributor and Remee is US made.
UL or ETL testing has NOTHING to do with whether the cable meets any manufacturers certification specification. The listing is only to determine compliance with voltage breakdown between conductors(150 volts for CL2 or CM cable) and that the cable meets smoke emission and flame spread for the particular type of cable (general purpose- CM, riser- CMR or plenum- CMP).
