Review on πŸ”Œ Optimized Monoprice 102288 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable - Network Internet Cord - RJ45, Stranded, 550Mhz, UTP, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 24AWG, 1ft, Black by Stephen Zimmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Avoid it! High failure rate and exceptional shutdown difficulties.

I had four open points on the patch panel that I wanted to route to other points in the house so I bought them as patches. They are deployed with a firm click. Good. Forget trying to turn them off. The housing and clip are designed to be almost impossible to remove. One of the patches ended up completely destroying the connector it was connected to because the seats were misaligned. This cheap cable ended up costing me almost $75. Worse, when I tested the rest of the cables I bought, 25% of them failed due to bad pins or missing connections. Absurd. avoid them.
