Review on πŸ”΅ UbiGear New 100ft Blue Cat6 Ethernet LAN Patch Cable for High-Speed Network Connections by Scott Channell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

good price. However

Decided to give it a try, great price. However, when I took the cable and cut it to various lengths, I noticed that the individual pairs inside the cable had no turns. The attached image shows this supposed category 6 cable on the left (blue cable) and the older category 5 cable on the right (white cable). Category 5 cable has MUCH more turns per inch than Category 6 cable. In fact, Category 6 cable should have many more turns than Category 5 cable. I have another Category 6 cable that is twisted much tighter than the wire of category 5. shown at right. . I'm surprised they advertise it as a Cat 6 cable. It got good reviews overall, but you WILL NOT get the performance you want with this cable. Don't buy this.
