I needed a very long ethernet cable to connect my son's play equipment from his second floor bedroom with the home router on the opposite side to connect He loves to play video games with Xbox One and PC, so choosing the right cable was important. Length: This cable was several feet long enough to provide this connection. An Xbox One in the living room to a box in our bedroom, and the flat shape made it easy to wall mount (we have young children so being able to hang a cable over doors was a must. Such was our last one Cable bite the dust. Ha!). We haven't had any latency or usage issues so far. Next time I need a different cable I will buy it again.
