Solder is a very subjective thing. The thing to do with any solder unfamiliar to you is use it on some cables, components, connectors and evaluate the quality of joints it makes with your soldering tools, skill, etc. You can see if it takes more or less heat than old solder you are familiar with. You can see if it makes shiny, well wetted joints. You can see if it has left over flux residue in excess to a other clean solders.
Make sure the formulation is suited to the heat range tip you have on your soldering iron. Trying it out on real world components and cable is the best way to find out if it flows well, and makes a good joint. Check the joints you make after a month for any signs of corrosion as a further test.
