Use them for devices with hard-to-reach ports.

I like devices where the network connector is difficult to access. Also great for devices where you need to keep water out such as B. outdoor cameras or WLAN hotspots. You can seal one of them on the device and protect the connector from water ingress. Seal the other end in a NEMA enclosure or through a wall and you won't have to fiddle with the device connector when you're standing on the stairs. Also suitable for devices that you move frequently to avoid wear or breakage of the device…

Pros
  • Category 6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet, backward compatible with Cat5e or Cat5 cabling; Cat6 shielded twisted pair extension cable provides a versatile connection to network components such as computers, printers, routers, etc.; Connecting the media player directly to the router for streaming videos without buffering
Cons
  • Out of fashion

When I plugged in my home ethernet cable a few weeks ago, for some strange reason, the contractor left a shorter cable in the network closet. Long story short, the cable goes from the attic to the garage, so I looked for a "cheap" solution (mainly to save time with the contractor) to close the 4 foot gap and found this Babies. It's really good quality, metal clips on both ends, category 6, flexible enough for proper cable routing but still rough, they're not made for the outdoors but look very…

Pros
  • Ethernet Extension Cable extends an existing Cat 6 Ethernet cable that is too short to connect to a router or video streaming device; Ethernet port saver solution protects computer port from constant plugging and unplugging
Cons
  • I'm writing back

Too Rigid - Cables and Accessories

I'm a big fan of Cable Matters. Their products are always high quality, reasonably priced, and do what they are supposed to do. These extension cords are no exception. I am deducting a star specifically for the 3 foot cables. They are extremely stiff and require considerable force to bend. A little bend isn't going to break anything, but if one of your goals is to reduce bending stress on your device's connector, you basically need to let the cable go where it wants and attach something…

Pros
  • Ethernet cable extension for temporary or permanent installation with Cat 5, 5e and 6 UTP, FTP and STP Ethernet patch cords; Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
