Review on πŸ”Œ InstallerParts Gray CAT6A Ethernet Cable - 1ft UTP Booted - 10Gigabit/Sec Network/High Speed Internet Cable - Professional Series by Chad Carter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Extremely rigid, permanent installation only

I first bought a Cat5e from this company, it was damaged (no shipping damage). Sent it back for a refund and decided to check out their cat6a instead. No damage this time, but despite describing their Category 6a with stranded conductors (generally more flexible than solid conductors), this cable is very, very stiff. There's no way it will ever lay flat (or anywhere near), making it unusable for portable or mobile applications. It's probably fine if you're compacting it for a permanent installation, but if you're going to deploy and then run it on stage or in a showroom, this product isn't for you. Even the short 5" piece I bought to connect my router to my digital mixer is WAY too inflexible to be practical. Too bad the purple color was perfect for the Ethercon digital snake. to easily distinguish it from my black analog cables.

Pros
  • Ethernet cable
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
