We all prefer original devices but over time they wear out and break down and when it comes to our computers it can be a painful testimony . Didn't understand how something as simple as an ethernet cable could affect the performance of my computers. Replaced mine as it was over 3 years old. It's a category 8 cable since the old one was probably a 5 or 6. A big difference. A significant improvement in the performance of my computers. Couldn't be happier. Very durable, definitely built to last. money well spent.
