Review on StarTech Com Cat6A Shielded Patch Cable by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good ethernet cable

Ethernet cables have a fairly wide range of variations, even within a particular manufacturer's range. However, I have purchased several StarTech Cat6a cables over the past few months and they are well made and reliable. I would rate them a notch or two higher than most other Ethernet cables I've used over the years. With this kind of product, YMMV is very true. Just read other comments and you will see a wide range of reviews. My experience is positive. The only potential issue is that the cables are quite strong, bordering on stiffness. I use them permanently/semi-permanently, but carrying them in a laptop bag can be difficult.

Pros
  • PROTECT YOUR NETWORK: Shielded RJ45 connectors minimize near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and protect against noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), compatible with 10Base-T/NBASE-T multi-speed generation
Cons
  • High price
