    A good network backup for high bandwidth times.

    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.

    PERFECT for competitive gaming - 1000mbps

    This cable will do everything you need, up to the limit of your router. I’m getting ~1,000 mbps download speed, 0% packet loss, and ~14 ms delay (picture below). I use it to play Call of Duty Warzone on my Xbox series X, and it gives me a SERIOUS competitive edge. Highly recommended for gaming on PC, Xbox, or PS5

    Bought this ethernet cable at bestbuy and I gotta say I'm very pleased. I was having internet speed issues with another ethernet cable I had bought on amazon and to my surprise it failed terrible. Upon setting up the new bestbuy ethernet cable my speed jumped from 100mbps to over 1k. I'm very happy with the outcome. Thank you Bestbuy!

    Nice Solid Ethernet Cable for Superfast speeds

    This is a very nice Solid Ethernet Cable for Superfast speeds. I wanted an ethernet cable to compliment my FiOS gigabit internet connection and so this seemed to do the trick. Over WiFi my average speeds were 200 - 300 Mbps , but with the Insignia Cat6 Ethernet I can get well over 900 Mbps upload and download most of the time.

    I thought it wasn’t going to be long enough but it was perfect. The quality and texture are excellent and it is worth the price. Definitely get something longer if you have a big room though.

    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.

    Did my research in under 30 min. Went to Best Buy, bought this Ethernet cable and a wifi extender, the wifi extender has a Ethernet port and I connected this cable from that port, directly into the Ethernet port on the back of my ps5. Works flawlessly. Would buy again if I needed to. Used to lag when multiple people would be using the wifi, now I game crazy smoothly

    You have to upgrade to a cat 6 cable or higher. I've been paying for gb wifi for 3 years but only reached speeds of 500 mbs . As a gamer speed is everything so i changed out my 5E for a 6 and what do youv know... 900 mbs speeds.

    I previously cheaped out and got a "cat6" cable off of ebay, only to find out that the conductors inside were neither twisted nor made of copper. That cable also could not be punched down into a keystone, so it was basically useless to me. I wish i had just spent the few extra dollars from the start and gotten this cable. The conductors are properly twisted inside to prevent interference, they are actually made of copper and i was able to easily punch them down into a keystone on my first try. The exterior insulation of this cable is also of significantly higher quality.
