    The cable length is perfect for my needs—fourteen feet provides enough reach from my router to my workspace without excess coiling or slack. The Cat-6 specification supports faster data speeds than older Cat-5e cables, which is future-proof for my internet needs. The gray color is neutral and blends well with my office décor. The connectors are solidly constructed and fit snugly into ports without any looseness or disconnection issues. The cable jacket appears durable and shouldn't fray or degrade easily with regular handling. The data transfer speed is noticeably faster compared to my previous older cable—downloads and uploads are quicker and more reliable. The cable doesn't seem to have interference issues; my connection remains stable even with other electronics nearby. The price point is reasonable for a quality Ethernet cable. After several months of regular use, the cable maintains its performance without degradation or connection problems.

    I recently subscribed to T-Mobile Home Internet but wanted to hard-wire the gateway into my existing mesh network because the standalone gateway doesn’t adequately cover my house. I have a centrally located primary router and 2 remote nodes that provide great coverage, but the cell signal isn’t strong enough in the center of my house or where my old cable modem was located. To physically connect the new gateway to the router, I needed to install a new Cat 6 Ethernet cable between them. Unfortunately the most accessible route to run Ethernet between the new wireless gateway and my router was about 125 feet. I researched a bunch of different cables available at big box hardware stores and online retailers and found a lot of chatter about mislabeled cables that claim to be Cat 6 but are actually Cat 5. Reviews of this cable were all positive so I picked it up and tested it to make certain it was Cat 6 and would handle full speed from the gateway (I’m getting about 250-300 MBPS from T-Mobile). This affordable Ethernet cable will be a negligible investment over time as I’m saving about $15 per month. I now have a solid Internet connection throughout my house at a lower price than what I was paying to the Cable company.

    We were changing the layout of one of our computer setups, when we discovered we'd be too short on the length of the existing ethernet cable. Thankfully Best Buy was open. We chose the 25' cable (it's available in a number of lengths) as it fit our needs. Got back, threw it in, worked like a charm. Speeds are where there supposed to be, no connection issues. That's about al I can ask from a cable designed for a specific task.
