i purchased this cable to do a temporary run of Cat 6 from my office to my living room where I have a 6 port switch connected and another one to go from the switch to my dining room where I have my indoor TV Antenna and HD HomeRun hooked up. They work flawlessly for what I need them to do until I can get Cat6 routed properly through the house, and I had plenty of extra cable length to spare. Once I'm through with them, I'll be able to have spare cables in case I need to make a very long patch.

This is a really great ethernet cable for Fios Gigabit internet. The long length means I can run it from my router to my TV, DVD and Cable box. But really it works best for gaming on my laptop. I get an average of 900 Mpbs for my internet connection at home.

I have a fairly good wireless network in my house but sometimes I have raid events where I play multiple characters simultaneously and having any network Lag can kill me; so I switch to cabled network for those times because it is more reliable than wifi and I don’t have to worry about many of the issues that wireless networks have that a wire doesn’t. I marked them low on the price because they are still pricing the cables 10000% over cost and they are 4.6 billion years old so it’s time the price comes down. I remember using old cat cables to strap my velociraptor to the hitching post at the saloon and you can buy a roll of blank cat6 cable that will go to the moon and back for $100 you just need the tool and a bag of male ends and you can make as many cables as you want but I only needed 2 cables so it wasn’t worth bulk prices (wife wouldn’t let me buy it) Anyway, the quality is good, the shielding is good, the online specs claim the wire is twisted copper so it’s better than aluminum. It has gold contacts at the male ends for superior connection and as the attached photo shows; I also attached a photo next to an Xbox One controller for scale, it has a protective cover to protect the locking clip if you have to pull it through a wall so it doesn’t get broken off and your cable ends up not able to lock into the network port and you have to do some janky tape job that collects dust and you invite a hot goth girl over to see your gaming set up and she sees your dusty sticky cable and points and laughs at you and you end up being an internet meme. Long story short don’t skimp on network cables or future generations will point and laugh at you.

Excellent cable. The price is great, and the cable is well built. It supports a gigabit connection up/down with no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Great reach router is upstairs my office is set up in the basement. Holds the Internet connection very well.Have it connected to my J5 adapter since laptop doesn't have an input for the Ethernet cable.
