As a person who has installed hundreds of miles of cabling of every description inside of buildings of every description:

Every single time someone has provided pre-terminated cabling for one of my jobs to "save time" or to "make it easier", this provision has done neither.

Instead, it has consistently multiplied both the time required and the installation difficulty. It has done these things while also producing an inferior end result.

It is my anecdotal observation that it's NFG.

I have no idea what kind of cable it was, but the bloke who installed the control panel for my ducted air conditioning got the cable snake stuck in the wall cavity. He had to cut it and use a different snake. So there's a dead snake in my wall, and your comment brought this to mind.
