Review on πŸ”Œ CableGeeker Braided Shielded Ethernet Cable by Shawn Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good cable for indoor use at full speed of 10 Gbps.

I needed a 100ft cable to connect two computers with a 10GB network adapter in different rooms. I first bought a triple shielded outdoor CAT7 cable as I was concerned about electrical noise interference. The outdoor cable delivered reliable 10G speeds but was very stiff and difficult to install. I also felt that the RJ45 connector was pushing the NIC too hard. After some research I decided on this flat cable because it is shielded. This is much more flexible and easier to route. The braided cable looks great too, but it's really a bonus and not a priority. I tested the baud rate with iperf3 with jumbo frame (MTU=9000) enabled on the network card. Throughout the test, I got a steady 9.9 Gbps with no retransmission from ZERO. I couldn't be happier considering this cable is half what I paid for another cable. Hope this lasts a while.

Pros
  • High Speed: Category 7 shielded Ethernet cable delivers data rates of up to 10,000 Mbps (10 gigabits per second) and up to 600 MHz bandwidth to support high-speed Internet data transfers. Games and streaming videos.
Cons
  • Long delivery
