Review on πŸ”Œ High-Speed 6FT CAT7 Shielded Ethernet Cable with Gold Plating for 10 Gigabit Networks - Cables Direct Online (6ft, Blue) by Jorge Maertz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I wish I could test it the same day I got it

Already in the trash. Too bad I didn't test this thing out before putting it away for my future project. It could only run at 100Mbps on my Cisco SG200-26 switch. It ran at 100Mbps on a Luxul AWS 2426p switch. On some SOHO routers it ran at 100Mbps BUT on a Luxul Epic 5 router it could see 1Gbps but delivered 600 throughput. I opened Wireshark to see what was going on and saw an incredible amount of crosstalk and missed frames. I opened up the cable and found that it was not properly shielded and when I ripped off the RJ45 connectors I found that the ends were not grounded. This is a counterfeit CAT7 and I caution against buying from this company if this is their practice. It looks like that might be the case given all the reviews. Revain is strictly prohibited from mixing product reviews for different products in order to show them for the same vendor or how it works. I bought a 100 foot Category 7 black round cable. If I could return it I would.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
