Review on InstallerParts Ethernet Cable CAT6A: Best-in-Class Booted Industrial Electrical and Wiring & Connecting Solution by John Koch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not what it should be

Was supposed to ship in two business days, it took almost two weeks to get to me and wasn't worth the wait. Check and swap the cables to see the differences. I currently have 300/300 fiber in my house connected to a pre-wired Cat 6 network. The results have been fairly consistent. I tested them at different times of the day just in case, and the speeds were still pretty consistent for every cable I tested. The best results for each were: 200ft long Cat 6a (very old now) - 1 ping, 320 down, 302 up Walmart Cheapo Temporary Cat 5e (20ft) - 1 ping, 323 down, 305 up. This "Cat 6a" is 10 pings, 272 down, 270 up. Walmart Cat 5e cable and very old 200ft Cat 6a cable. I believe the only reason the 200ft cable was slightly slower is its length.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
