Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ 10ft Coaxial Cable Triple Shielded CL3 In-Wall Rated with Gold Plated Connectors - RG6 Male F Connector Pin for Digital Audio Video - 10 Feet by Maurice Rivera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best and fastest coaxial cable for networking and video streaming

Wow. Replaced the main coax cable that came with our old cable provider cable box with this beauty. 10 feet was ideal. I first cleaned all the connections again, including the center pin on both ends, with Kontak, the best contact cleaner. Developed for the RAF to clean their contact with military aircraft. There was still a lot of dirt and debris on the original wall coax, although I recently cleaned it with Kontak when we installed our new NetGear Nighthawk router just under a month ago. I let the cable rest after a day or so before comparing. Speed tests with an old cable from our provider. However, I can say that I immediately noticed faster connection and initialization with Apple and video streaming. Good. On the second day I noticed that the jitter and latency were significantly lower compared to the original coax. The speed increased from 225-245 Mb/s to 245-265 Mb/s on average. Good. Average speed improvement of about 8%. Now for a nice comparison. I added a drop of Cardas contact fluid to either end of the joint and rubbed lightly with a cotton swab. It only takes a minute of the movie to work. After that, my average speed went from 265 MB/s to 313 MB/s! Highly recommended for high speed I-net cable connections. But clean first. If you don't want to spend money on Kontak, buy a bottle of electric alcohol (available from Revain) and first clean the connectors a few times, then add a drop of Cardas or Jenna Labs couplant and spread it evenly on both outsides . Unscrew the part and fully open the length of the pin, then press firmly. It will take some time! However, this cable is your starting point and worth every penny. Because it's triple shielded, less intrusive RF and other noise can interfere with your speeds you pay dearly for and lose otherwise. By the way, these speeds are the WiFi speeds I'm noting. At hardwired speeds, my speed tests improved from around 450 MB/s to around 525 MB/s after cleaning up and improving contact as described above. If I could put everyone I know behind a wall, imagine how much more could be lost over time due to connection impedance and pollution!
