“relocating my asus rtac87r router, is this a good replacement to original cable? original ethernet cable was about 4' long and it was a ftp cat5e data cable that came with the router and is currently connected to my modem. connected to the router are four wired data devices, printer, media server, and two PC's using a mix of cables that i had laying around. thought i would keep the cable type consistent. i need to replace all of the cables to either the 14' or 25' cables and run them to the devices. would you recommend these cables for this use and do they meet the spec of the data cable that came with the router? mainly the ftp and data cable standard (i know both are cat5e).”

Yes. It should work better. If your router can sweat, get a towel; Cat 6 cable is fast.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will work great for what you need
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They should work no problem
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the standard cat5e cables are almost all within a certain (tested) range now unlike they used to be. You can get almost any unshielded twisted pair (machine made) and there is little difference in the test outs....unless of course you make cables like me....in which case...that is why I buy them instead of relying on my terrible punchdown/cablemaking skills.... Just a note .... If they do not need to be shielded or meet certain specs.... I would just hit mono price dot com..... :) actually even if they do...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This CAT6 cable will outperform any CAT5 cable, it should work fine for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Stay with cat 5e and you are fine, you won't exceed the distance limitation with either.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I made this purchase for the extra length... I have found nothing in the way of a short-coming with it. No loss of speed nor data.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I did almost the same thing as you are proposing and this is the cable to get. I have seen previous communications issues go away. This is a quality product.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, Cat 6 is the newest standard. It is what I would use in your case.
