I picked up this 25‑foot Cat‑6 cable because I wanted a stable connection for gaming and streaming, and it has delivered perfectly. The length is great — long enough to route around furniture and along walls without needing extensions, but not so long that it becomes a tangled mess. The cable has a nice firmness to it, so it doesn’t kink easily, and the connectors click in securely with no wobble or looseness.
Performance‑wise, it’s been rock solid. I’m getting full speeds from my router with zero drops or spikes, which makes a huge difference when playing online shooters or downloading large game updates. Even when running it across a longer path in my room, the signal stays strong and consistent.
The blue color is actually a nice touch too — easy to see among other cables and looks clean if you’re routing it along a wall. For the price, the build quality is way better than I expected. It’s one of those simple purchases that ends up being way more useful than you realize.

Best Buy made it easy for my pickup and this cord has saved my life. I work from home and needed a set up in my living room but router box was literally in my bedroom closet. I picked this cord up and have now been able to extend the cord out to my living room for my wfh set up. Mind you the picture is how much I had left over after extending. Def a bang for your buck.

Great price, long range, very good insulation around.
Reached from my room to the modem (2 rooms over through the hallway) alot of cable left over probably only used approximately 70ft out of 150ft better longer than short id say . Now my internet speed on my pc is way faster than wireless connection it was unusable to use.

I had to replace my Ethernet cord because I work from home and it works great. I don’t have any disconnect from my VPN is the perfect length from my computer to my router and it was a very great price.

I went from 100ft to 50ft bc I didn’t realize how long the cord really is. So I made the switch to 50ft and it works and connects properly. It automatically connects to my router once plugged in and the stableness of the connection is uncanny.

Excellent proformance. I wished they sold longer lengths between 30 and 50 ft. Great value for the 25ft cables though!

Needed something to connect my sons ps5 direct to the router because god forbid he lags on a game. The cord goes all around my house. Up a wall, on the ceiling, down a wall and into his bedroom. He hasnt complained since so its a win for me

The perfect length for the hard wired internet for my home office upstairs. I chose this because I wanted more than enough cord to get to my office. Gets tangled easily so unwind it carefully!

The connections were smooth and correct. Everything is untangled and in a nice coil pattern. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Hands down best option if your in the market for a new ethernet cable. I purchased the 100ft option, though i could have got by with only 50ft. This ethernet cable is by far the best for the money. I now have great, and fast internet thanks to the best buy essentials cable.
