Review on Cmple Ethernet Patch Cable for Networking by Damien Krzywicki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Limited to 100 Mbps, do not order! (rigorously tested)

DO NOT BUY THESE. I bought three of these and none of them run at 1Gb/s; They are all limited to 100 Mbit/s. I tested all three cables on two different switches and two different computers. I use one of my usual existing cables; Autonegotiation at 1 Gbit/s, no problem. I've even tried three shorter spare cables I have and they all work fine at 1Gbps on my desktop and laptop. Forcing 1 Gbit/s full duplex on the network adapters of both computers also does not work with these cables. Revain also informs me that this item is non-refundable. Fiction. I wasted the price of three of these cables. Very dissatisfied. Also in case anyone thinks I did something wrong; NO. I've tested them on the same port on my switch as well as an Asus router, both of which transmit 1Gb/s to other computers and devices over the same ports I tested these cables on. They are completely faulty, or at least the batch I received is defective. Ignore the part of the review where I complain about the inability to return the product. :) However, completely ignore this item and the seller.

Pros
  • CLEAR TRANSMISSIONS: Provides the fastest, most reliable Internet connection between two network devices. Bandwidth support up to 10Gbps
Cons
  • Can't remember
