Cable Matters Snagless Shielded Ethernet Computer Accessories & Peripherals Review

Well, the 5% of people who don't like these cables are right. They are NOT CAT6A. Their quality is lower than most CAT5 cables and the data transfer rate is terrible. The failure rate with this cable from Cable Matters is terrible: over 75% data loss! I think the 550MHz bandwidth rating is essentially a lie. I replaced the cable with a known good quality CAT5E and the data rate jumped back to the expected 10Gbps with expected low error rates for a 20ft run. I even got a cheap 250MHz 5E/6 cable,

This is false advertising because it says "Bare stranded copper conductors improve cable performance and meet communications cable specifications." It's not bare copper, it's bare, copper-plated aluminum. Big difference in performance and two completely different things together. DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR HIGH SPEED NETWORK! They only get 28% throughput.

I just upgraded my house with Cat6A cables (see also Cable Matters, see [UL Listed] Cable Matters Blue cable - 1000 feet), it doesn't do any Sense to end up with inferior cables. From my router >> switch >> patch panel >> wall keystones, all devices and cables are Cat 6A shielded, so it makes sense to use the same terminating resistors on the end devices. Connections are very easy to make (and more importantly, break). They are well packaged and of the 50+ cables of varying…

Love them. After switching to Gigabit service through my ISP, I became obsessed with maximizing download/upload speeds to experience true Gigabit service. I have compared them to Vandesail Category 7 flat cables and Category 6 Mediabridge cables (although their specs say they are also Category 6a) and Category 8 cables from an unknown brand. They always gave me the best/fastest of everything and I never had any trouble connecting with them. I tested the output directly from the modem, and each…

Don't buy from Cable Matters. A lot of reviews say they didn't get a category 6a cable, but a cable that looks more like a category 5e cable. Yes, you are right. The cable I received says Cat6a but it was actually a poor quality Cat5e. Cat6a must always have a slot and must have a Cat6a RJ45 connector that is staggered rather than linear.

After reading the description and jacket of these Cable Matters Cat6a Ethernet Cables, the manufacturer will convince you that they are very high quality Cat 6a cables with two types of best shielding ( STP/FTP) . ). You are not! These are very thin, thin wires with poor shielding and not many twists and are indistinguishable from Category 5 cables. If you are reading this I would like a refund, false advertising.

For those of you who are younger gamers and a little less "physics savvy", here's a quick lesson on electromagnetism. The longer the cable that the signal has to travel through (your internet connection), the weaker the signal (your internet connection). The more additional electrical cables surrounding the cable run (power cables, TV cables, etc.), the weaker the signal. I ordered it with a max length of 200ft and found that my ISP's max speed is only about 6Mbps. . This is phenomenal given…

I had to cut off one end of a 50 foot cable I bought so I could connect it to the old existing coax so I could pull it out and run it up in the attic and into another room. This gave me an opportunity to study the section of cable I had cut. As you can see from the photos there is no center slot as you would expect with a quality Cat6a cable. The foil is wrapped around each pair of cables, not all of them. There are very thin aluminum spacers (not sure) covering the outside of each insulated…

Tired of maintaining a reliable WiFi connection through three walls, a few rooftops, and a bunch of grumpy poltergeists, I braced myself for the unthinkable. I would run 150 feet of cable from the router to the computer. In the midst of the Mississippi summer heat, I dare to enter the derelict attic hell. I would drill through the walls. I crawled through tight spots in a sweat. I would have cursed like a sailor stung by a hornet and kept banging my head against every joist and rafter, but I…
