IMPROPER CABLE - not twisted pair

This cable looked bad out of the box but I decided to give it a try. The lack of insulation and the location of the twisted pair made the connection terrible. I get half the internet speed I pay for (only 15 Mbps in normal mode and 7.3 or less on a wired connection) and it takes five times longer to ping the servers to check the speed. Local data transfer is terrible too, under 30Mbps. Save time and spend a little more buying bulk goods and connectors to make your own legal Category 5e cable. Also, when connected, my device automatically sets the connection speed to 100Mbps for Category 5 with an expected 1000Mbps for Category 5e, which means its technical limits are low, but its performance is even lower.

  • Don't waste too much time
