Review on Dripstone CAT5E Ethernet Cable 24AWG by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Category 5e 24 AWG HDPE jacketed cable.

This cable seems to be as good as any copper plated 24" CAT5e aluminum cable I've bought. The stripe on the white twisted pairs could be a little lighter so you can see it better through the RJ45 connector. I made some 30 foot cables and some 3 foot jumper cables. I tested them all with internet speed tests and found no difference between their speeds and the factory connection cable. I can't tell how much loss there will be on longer runs, if any. So far I haven't noticed any damage. High Density Polyethylene, HDPE, is stiffer and tougher, not as flexible as Low Density Polyethylene, LDPE, but much stronger, which I prefer if you're careful not to kink it.

Pros
  • Voice and Data
Cons
  • Something else
