Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters 5 Pack Snagless Ethernet Cables for Industrial Electrical Wiring & Connecting by Jerome Pritchard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable connection

I don't normally write reviews but thought I would do it here. I like the idea of thin cables in the server room, very neat and easy to manage. BUT after many random network failures, thinking it was one of my NUC NICs, I hooked up a cable tester to the cable. Par checked, 125678, Skipped 3-4. Depending on the curvature of the cable around the jack, I've had different pairs that have fallen off. If I pushed lightly on the cable around the muzzle of the connector, half of the pair would fall out. I replace them with standard Cat 6/E cables. I don't have the resources to break something that's expected to work. Maybe that's fine for home use, but if your cable run has kinks, you might want to replace the cables later. I wouldn't buy them again.

Pros
  • Gold plated connectors with strain relief sleeve for durability and secure connection; Bare copper strands improve cable performance and meet communications cable specifications
Cons
  • boring packaging
