Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Network Performance with SolidLink 1000Ft Premium Ethernet Network Cable by Sean Spence

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wasted Wisely

This is a cheap but workable cable. I moved my network from the far corner of the ground floor to the central closet upstairs to improve WiFi and Ethernet transmission in my home office. I ran two of these cables into the bedroom along with a 70 foot hard coax and another 50 foot cable, all within the air conditioned room of my home using interior walls, conduit and wire clamps. LAN speeds of 60 to 112 MB/s between the NAS and various wired laptops are still achievable, so no complaints. Can I connect a house with this cable or go over 50 meters? No, because 1) it's Cat5e - the future is 10Gbps+, 2) it's CCA - not as strong and conductive as copper, and 3) it just doesn't feel particularly strong when pulled. But for my needs for relatively short, half-open runs and meager I/O latencies, this works well.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
