Review on Ethernet Higher Bandwidth Internet Network Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Louis Abrams

I used a 150 foot cable to run from the bonus room where my cable modem is located to the living room. Due to the low profile, the cable is very invisible when running on ledges. The coax cables we have throughout the house look utterly sloppy in comparison. Took me about 2 hours to secure the 120 foot stretch. I don't understand this at all, but it's still relatively easy to do. The included cable clips are a nice addition, but not enough. It took me about 50 to secure 120 feet of cable. You'll probably need to add some side clips, especially if your yardage is mostly horizontal. Generally, flat cable clamps are too big to clamp (this applies to both the ones that come with them and the third-party ones I've bought). The good thing is that you can put multiple cables in one of these, the bad: this means you need more frequent clamps. One weakness that seems to be common with flat cables is that you can't crimp them. I ran 120 feet by 150 feet and wound them up at the end. Seems to work well enough (I can saturate my switches with 1GB) but it would make more sense to get a 100ft cable and then daisy chain shorter cables with female to female adapters. Female-to-female adapters can also act as a "terminus" (similar to how a wall run is terminated with an RJ45 plug), so you never have to unplug/plug a cable and risk damaging the end, forcing you are to repeat your route (because you can't just recrimp the end). Buy this if you want something understated, and be careful not to run the cord any longer than you need for your route (you can always daisy-chain it longer, you CANNOT shorten it). If you want to be able to crimp and/or walk behind walls, buy a spool instead.
