    Well made product. I've had this Cat 6 ethernet cable for about 4 months now and so far no issues. I got it for gaming, and it has improved my internet speed drastically. Since then, I have not had any issues "lagging" or dropping packets while playing video games because of issues on my end. The price was also great for this product.
