Great price for a quality cable. I would like it gray or black.

Great price for a quality cable. I would like it gray or black. This is a thick cable and I noticed that the Keystone foil tape didn't fully wrap it. I complain? No! I am very happy to have a 40Gbps cable at this price. I'm reinstalling most of my house with this cable as well as with an optical cable. I'll be ready when speeds keep picking up. I really like using the 10G optical backbone and taking advantage of it for redundancy and shorter runs. I am also thinking about building a second network for the video surveillance system. Final Thoughts. A 10 Gbps network guarantees nothing and nobody waits. It can easily handle multiple video streams and other heavy traffic. One connection can double that, and as 40Gbps technology becomes more available this cable will be ready for that, or for 80Gbps with a couple of channels connected. I see a need for this when moving videos to 8k.

Pros
  • Supports bandwidths up to 2 GHz.
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
