Review on πŸ”Œ Optimized Monoprice 102288 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable - Network Internet Cord - RJ45, Stranded, 550Mhz, UTP, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 24AWG, 1ft, Black by James Mangum

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Often only connects at 100Mbps

It took us a while to figure it out but after using this cable to connect our modem to the router it often comes up (but not always) to disconnects Internet speed. We pay for fiber at 1 Gbit/s. It turned out that this cable is to blame. In most cases, this resulted in our router connecting to our modem at 100Mbps instead of 1Gbps. I connected the less attractive and longer replacement blue ethernet cable and no longer have the problem.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Sad package
