Review on Five Star Ethernet Twisted Networking by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for what it is, good value cable

As many reviews say, this is a CCA. I wouldn't use it for POE, and while I agree it won't hit true C5E speeds, it does a decent job. I bought it with the intention of using it for my network cameras, for which it does an excellent job. I've also used it on several 100MB devices around the house (media players, printers, etc.). It works fine for her. I'm not sure what they did, but the cable was easy to work with. It's a little stiff, so be careful when running it up walls, it can snag and buckle easily. (Although I had some kinks and it still worked fine) This is a quality cable, no. Is it a decent cable, yes. Will I use it again for low cost devices, yes. Will I use it for HA/HS networks, no.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
