Review on πŸ”Œ High-Speed Amazon Basics RJ45 Cat-6 Ethernet Patch Internet Cable - 10 Feet (3 Meters) by Brandon Fernandez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good cables with annoying design flaws

First of all, there are cables, you can't go wrong with them. The cables themselves look good and appear to be well assembled. Because Revain is a data center leader, you'd think they'd design the perfect network cable, but unfortunately there's an unfortunate design flaw. The nests are surrounded by thick rubber, making them difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. You can force them but they are starting to lean and I was concerned that this would damage the ports on my router. The repair is fairly easy, luckily the material is rubber rather than hard plastic. I took a sharp knife and was able to cut off the excess rubber. Now my modified cables fit like they should. Look at my pictures, 4 cables on the switch have been swapped, one cable at the end has not been touched because I have enough space there that it doesn't matter. but you can see the difference. I hope Revain solves this problem as otherwise it's a great product.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Sad packaging
