Review on 75ft Blue Snagless Cat5e Ethernet Network Patch Cable by Cables Direct Online by Michael Boyce

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent value for a 75ft cable. . . BUT

I had the task of connecting the router to the Internet hub - twice a week, daily. Due to COVID restrictions we have had to move our FREE tax prep service to another location. Our router needed to be positioned to provide secure Wi-Fi 50 feet from the nearest access point in our new facility. The cord served its purpose HOWEVER this cord was not designed to be rolled up after each day of use and had significant kinks. This cable is not your typical vacuum cable designed to be pulled and retracted thousands of times. I'm surprised it survived being unrolled and rolled up without a problem as well. If your cable is fixed and only occasionally coiled, that's BETTER. But if you rewind it every day, I'd go for a more flexible cable.

Pros
  • Cat 5e cable
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
