I bought this to run a wired connection into my Xbox one X primarily for gaming and streaming apps. I have been using it for about 2 months now and I’m extremely happy with how consistent this cat-5e connection provides. I don’t think I could ever go back to running only a WiFi connection now.

It's a CAT 5e network cable - there's not much to say about it. It wasn't defective in any way, and as a CAT 5e cable, it's mainly intended for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) connections. Gigabit equipment will also work with it, and even achieve higher speeds than Fast Ethernet, but your actual throughput won't approach 1 Gbps unless you go to CAT 6 cabling. At 3 feet in length, this cable is suitable for, say, connecting equipment on a desk to a desktop switch, which was what I bought it for. It could be suitable for rack use as well, depending on how far the components on your rack are from each other. For more typical uses, like connecting a desktop computer or printer to a network jack on the wall, you'll probably want a longer cable.

This Ethernet coupler/extender helped me to give more slack on my Ethernet cable, being that the idiot who installed new carpets ran the cable underneath of the new carpet! Which wouldn't have been too bad as it would've been out of sight, rather than looking gaudy running along the edges of hallway and walls, but the dumb-*** kept like 10 extra ft of cable in the room where my Comcast Modem/Router is, and only like 2-3ft of extra cable in the room that I soley need it for! The extra cable actually comes out from the edge of the hallway carpet, at my bedroom doorway, which initially made the cable taunt when connected, and could only be in spot close enough for my ps4 to reach the Ethernet, and even then u could only move it approximately 6inches in any direction! This helped me to be able and buy another smaller cable to extend the connection and give my ps4 a little more freedom to move! I just wish I could've found a 1 to 2 adapter!

When I decided to ditch Time Warner, I accidentally gave them back the cord that I needed to run my indoor security camera. I didn't need a very long or expensive cord, just one that would reach from the camera to the new modem. This is perfect.

It’s an Ethernet cord. It carries information. If it completes its purpose it’s a good cord. This did the job. Why are you still reading this? Just go buy the cord. Buy it already. Just go.
You’re still here????

I purchased this to connect my Playstation 4 to my router. I needed a small cable because the router is right next to the console. This cable was perfect and works as expected!

Using for a week now, significant increase in speed in my wireless connection now that my modem and router are connected with these 5e ethernet cables. Amazing price, nice short length, quality rubber insulation and connections.

I needed to add a cable to my home internet router to take advantage of the faster transfer speeds to allow video streaming on my home TV. I found the perfect cable at a really affordable price. I didn't want to have a long cable so I could minimize unsightly cable clutter. This 3 foot Cat5 cable by Insignia was perfect. Just the right size and the grey color makes helps keep the cable from being noticed. I would buy this again.

I recently made the decision to turn off cable. I have a computer in my living room attached to a 70 inch Vizio smart tv. I purchased this product in addition to be able to network my TV, Computer, and Smart Blu-Ray player to the internet. It was strictly plug and play. I was up and running within minutes. The cables were the perfect length to connect my devices to the switch.
