Review on πŸ”Œ White Ethernet Cable with Cat Connectors for Enhanced SEO by Chris Endricko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buyer Warning! Thin wires inside! Not CAT6!

For those who don't know, the difference between Cat. 5e and cat. 6 is this cat. 6 has a thicker wire, but the connector stays the same size. I had to cut a wire to run it through a wall today, 10 months after I bought this wire, and was planning on crimping a new connector. After stripping the insulation I found that the wires are smaller in diameter than a true CAT 6 cable. The cross section of the wires is even SMALLER than a telephone copper wire. This is NOT a CAT 6 cable, the insulation is even mislabeled as CAT 6. I trusted the reviews which was a mistake. Now I understand why the only device streaming video keeps buffering even though I have 60Mbps internet. I have uploaded a photo comparing real Cat 6, phone cable and this cable. You can clearly see that the copper wires in this cable are much thinner than true Category 6 cables and even thinner than telephone wires.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Without insurance
