Revainrating 4 out of 5

Robust hardware. Only information from personal experience.

Exactly as pictured - just had a unique situation I wanted to share in case it helps the next person in line. While the cable was adequate for my needs, it required a little "manual setup" for my particular situation. I work from home, have a personal bridge router, and a company-supplied VPN device, so I move this all the time Network cable For my PC from a device I wanted an adapter because my connection to the cisco port brings a latch for the RJ-45 on the bottom which is not very convenient for my use.The top of my EA4500 has a ledge that from protrudes from all 4 sides of the device, which is part of its "design". So for me, the "casing" on the side of the RJ-45 connector was too thick to allow a connection to the router. There simply is not enough space between and the EA4500 protrusion and also not enough open RJ-45. For this adapter you have to either shorten the body to expose more of the connector or thin the body a bit to avoid gap issues to cut down use a dremel and sanding the top edge a bit. Not pretty, but it helped. If not for my particular situation, this would be the perfect adapter. Sturdy construction - no weak parts. Both male and female connectors are durable. My only hit is the thickness. Just something to keep in mind as you check this out for yourself.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
