Review on 75ft Blue Snagless Cat5e Ethernet Network Patch Cable by Cables Direct Online by Jake Davies

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The cable expired after a few months.

This cable won't stand even the lightest of uses. We ran it through the attic into the closet a few months ago and everything was fine, 850/850 range. He hasn't moved since then. I've noticed a slowdown on my main PC. I assumed it was coming from the switch or deployment. After removing all hardware between the router and the PC, it was even slower. This is how I can call the provider's helpdesk. You didn't see the problem. Suppose they were wrong and insisted I was getting nowhere. I then tested directly from the router to the laptop via the new cable. Arrow speed was great. Then I unplugged that cable and plugged in a new one as I walked. Arrow speed was good again with the original setting. It turned out that a good cable was the reason for the 4 hours of troubleshooting and communication with technical support. Don't be me Don't buy this cable. Be kind to vendor support. they can be right at least 1 out of 100 times.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other picks
