Review on ๐Ÿ”ต High-performance 5-Pack of Snagless Short Cat6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cables in Blue - 7 ft by Cable Matters by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useless. That does not work. Do not buy.

6ft works normally. 10 footers almost never work. It will connect and negotiate at gigabit speeds, but if you try to transfer a few GB of data, the transfer will hang, stutter, or fail. Of the 10 cables I bought, I have 2 reliable 6 foot cables and a 10 foot working one. They work just enough to make you wonder what else is wrong. No wonder. Should have known better. The Cat6 specification requires a center separator between twisted pairs and must be at least 26 AWG. This is the wrong size and there is no separator. I cut open one of the broken wires to see it.

Pros
  • Large range
Cons
  • Crumpled
