They skimp you on the length.

I ordered 150 feet and looks like they try to save a few bucks and short you about 15 feet. I’ve never bought a roll of cable and had the length be this far off.

Pros
  • Perfect for all types of network cabling. This gaming Ethernet cable is soft and flexible, easily fitting around corners and bends without fear of breaking the inner conductor. It has four twisted pairs of CCA and a PVC jacket.
Cons
  • May lose performance over distance

Cat 6 line on my review.

It did not hold up to an anxious golden retriever. Ordered the same replacement. Works well ,I consider it to be a medium duty line.

Pros
  • I have bought several different brand cables and this one seems to be built the absolute best!
Cons
  • May not be flexible enough for certain installations

Not really cat6 good for me

With certifier, the cable is rated cat5e.Also, the termination is terribly done, the crimps do not crimp on jacket. Only thing thats holding the cable is wires clamped by terminal.Also, the speed of internet is reduced greatly.I had 1 delivered did not work at all, had to get replacement and both cables had terrible terminations.

Pros
  • You can tell that these are cheaply made, I hope it last.
Cons
  • Not much to say. It's a cable. Outside capabilities not determined yet.

Heavy Duty for my opinion

Bought this to install an access point in the garage. I had done it once before but the part of the cable exposed to the outside quickly deteriorated. This one is noticeably more robust. I haven't run any numbers, but the connection seems fast and stable and I have a good feeling about it lasting a while.

Pros
  • Cable worked Great !!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
  • May not have a shielded design

direct burial cautioned

good quality but direct burial may not be a good idea in rocky soil.the ozarks here has soil with lots of rocks and the thin casing on this wire will not hold up for sure. Conduit of any type is very high priced now so it will lay on top of the ground for now.

Pros
  • Great product little stiff but overall would buy again
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all operating systems

So far so good: my feedback

Seems to be well built and worked out of the gate. Time will tell how well it works powering our outdoor wireless access point attached to our deck. It faces north so it won’t be super exposed to a ton of heat but it will be exposed to a decent amount of elements and temperature swings here in Minnesota. I will edit this review in a year on well it has held up.

Pros
  • This was good quality and a good buy.
Cons
  • ok I guess

WIFI RESTORED!: my feedback

It brought my Wifi Signal into my outside Work Shed instantly and with 100% clarity and instant responsiveness. Would buy again!

Pros
  • Would buy again
Cons
  • Length may not be suitable for all needs

Don't know about this one. I guess you can bury it?

This cable is coiled and very plasticky. It is not good for connecting equipment in a studio environment. The cable material is semi-rigid and stays mostly coiled, even if you try to straighten it out. It says it is designed for "direct burial" - not sure if you could get it straight enough to go in the ground, but you would def. need to put some dirt on it! Maybe some rocks. I threw it in my backup cable box and hope to Sam I never have to use it.

Pros
  • Works like advertised, best value for your money
Cons
  • May not be easy to repair

No More WIFI!: my feedback

I wanted to hard wire my computers, TV’s and security camera in our house instead of using WIFI. I had to run Ethernet cable on the outside of the three-level, 3,500 square feet house. This Ethernet cable is perfect and has a stronger shield. It’s a bit stiffer than indoor cable but worked out great. Great price too.

Pros
  • Have this installed and will update as more time goes by but looks and feels as it will last.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Great quality and great price

Moved my Comcast modem to the middle of the house for better coverage, but still wanted my desktop to be wired. Ran this 75 ft cable thru the attic to an 8 port desktop switch. Pulling 780 download and 42 upload speed. Cable is sturdy. Connections look to be strong and secure. GearIT has great product and great pricing. Very happy with this item.

Pros
  • Pre-terminated with RJ45 Connectors. Use a connector at the same level as the cable for a stable, interference-free Internet connection. GearIT patch cables come with the appropriate connector for each cable model.
Cons
  • May not be easy to repair if damaged
