Review on Cables Direct Online 6FT S/FTP CAT7 Gold Plated Shielded Ethernet RJ45 Copper Cable 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Patch Cord (6Ft Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Chuck Derrick

Already in the trash. Too bad I didn't test this thing out before putting it away for my future project. On my Cisco SG200-26 switch it could only run at 100 Mbit/s. It ran at 100Mbps on a Luxul AWS 2426p switch. On some SOHO routers it ran at 100Mbps BUT on a Luxul Epic 5 router it could see 1Gbps but delivered 600 throughput. I opened Wireshark to see what was going on and saw an incredible amount of crosstalk and missed frames. I opened up the cable and found that it was not properly shielded and when I ripped off the RJ45 connectors I found that the ends were not grounded. This is a counterfeit CAT7 and I caution against buying from this company if this is their practice. It looks like that might be the case given all the reviews. Revain really must not mix product reviews for different products to show for the same vendor or how it works. I bought a 100 foot Category 7 black round cable. If I could return it I would.
