Study and well made. Does what paid for. And the length was perfect for running under my floor

Works, however the connections is almost vintage meaning very frail and fragile. Speed is good just fragile and very basic looking. Bought in store as it was only option there and needed cat6+ asap.

I was in the market for a new TV and did not want to spend an arm and a leg. The picture is nice and the set up was easy.
I would recommend this to a friend

Transfer rates of Cat-5, not Cat-6

Very disappointing. This cable does NOT transfer at 1,000Mbps. I spent about 40 minutes running the cable through a pretty difficult path, only to find out that it only transfers at 100Mbps. I have a new 3k laptop with a gigabit NIC (computer not the problem) - 100Mpbs in every scenario with this cable.
After wasting about an hour troubleshooting, I reluctantly decide to test with another cable. It couldn't be a $45 Best Buy cable, right? Wrong. I go sit next to my router and plug in a cheap/ old Cat5e cable, and boom, full Gigabit speeds. Unbelievable. An incredible waste of time and money.

I purchased two of these cables on the same day. Both of these cables are defective and only carrying a data speed of 100mb/s. I've double checked the conection and the cables are plugged in correctly.
I would recommend spending the money on a better cable.

Imo, it’s overpriced for a basic ethernet cord. Additionally, it doesn’t ‘clip’ into place very well.

I purchased the Insignia 25 ft Cat-6 Network Cable to connect my Xbox Series X directly to the router, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This cable has truly enhanced my gaming experience tremendously.
One of the standout features of this network cable is its ability to eliminate lag during gameplay. For instance, I would be driving in game and crash on a regular due to lag. Since switching to the cable, I've noticed a significant improvement in the stability and speed of my internet connection, resulting in smoother and more enjoyable (no crashing) gaming sessions.
Another great feature is the instant connectivity it provides. With the Insignia Cat-6 cable, my Xbox Series X is instantly connected to the internet as soon as I turn it on. This eliminates the need to wait for the console to connect through WiFi, saving me time and hassle.
Overall, I highly recommend the Insignia 25 ft Cat-6 Network Cable to anyone looking to improve their gaming experience or enhance their internet connectivity. Its reliable performance, lag-free gameplay, and instant connectivity make it a must-have accessory for gamers.

I recently purchased the Insignia 25' Cat-6 Ethernet Cable from Best Buy, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my home setup! The 25-foot length is perfect for connecting my devices across the room without needing an extension, offering flexibility while keeping things neat. I’ve used it to hook up my gaming PC and Xbox Series X to my router, and the performance is stellar—supporting speeds up to 1000 Mbps with no lag or packet loss, making my online gaming sessions smooth and responsive.
The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors feel high-quality and ensure a stable connection, while the snag-free design makes plugging and unplugging a breeze without worrying about damaging the clips. The cable itself is durable, with a thick, well-made sheath that holds up to daily use. Whether I’m streaming 4K content, working from home, or gaming, this cable delivers consistent, fast internet that easily outpaces Wi-Fi. For anyone needing a dependable wired connection, this Insignia Cat-6 cable is a great choice at a solid price

Here is a simple, quick and reasonably priced solution to get your Ethernet into another room close by without the extra cost of the cable/satellite service technician coming and charging you an arm and a leg. The Insignia™ - 50' Cat-6 Network Cable will do the trick and extend your Ethernet connection where you want or need it. The 50 foot cable best fit my needs with some flexibility as to the uses.
With several options to run the cable either above window frames or (if you dare brave the cold and dirty enviroment) underneath the house into the room where you need it. Eiher way and I opted for the first, tacked into place with cable fasteners out of sight, it opened up our den to devices that require ethernet to funtion taking out of an already gadget cluttered living room.
So far no issues and everything I have connected works great! A wise, cost affective solution and another "Honey Do" off my long list....
