Revainrating 5 out of 5

Got a good job on computer accessories and peripherals

Just moved into a small 1 bedroom apartment and needed Ethernet to connect through the wall to another apartment where the tenant had a gigabit FiOS Has. The WiFi from their new Quantum Gateway is very poor as is well known and since it is a gigabit connection I DEFINITELY knew better than to use WiFi. I knew I had to be programmed. I was only ever on Comcast 25/25 when I lived in Florida and my uncle here in Long Island had 150/150 but I never had a gigabit connection so I had to have it. but I played it safe and went 100 feet. I ended up with about 20 feet left, which I loosely rolled up and stored neatly on my desk with the included Velcro. I also ordered a Darller 200 pack of nails in cable clips which made the job nice and clean. I wanted the installation to be as tidy as possible without noticing the ethernet cable. I received a white cable. I routed it along the baseboard, up and around the door behind the TV stand behind the fridge in my AST, which leads directly to her AST in the closet, and further up the baseboard and around her bedroom door, behind her dresser the room. routers. Cat5e is rated for 1Gbps up to 100 meters, which is 328 feet, meaning a 100-foot cable can easily carry gigabit speeds. However, this is a category 6 cable rated for 10Gbps at 55 meters which is 180 feet and this category 6 cable is backwards compatible with 5e AND 5, although no one in their right mind would call a pure category 5 cable would use Lead and clamp the wire between both flats. Stroll! Overall I'm happy with the cable for the price and shipping within 2 days. You can't go wrong.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
