Review on Upgrade Your Internet Speed With 5 Pack Of 5-Ft Cat6 Ethernet Cables At Affordable Cat5E Price by Tim Knoepfle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Working really well; great replacement for regular cables to deal with cable management.

No complaints so far. The caveat is that my broadband download speed is sub-100Mb/s (around 90), so it's hard to tell if these ultra thin cables are really giving me the highest bandwidth, but there's certainly no slow-down from what I had before.My reason for getting these was related more to cable management than speed - both my router and switch had problems with the really thick round 5E cables I had; the switch - sitting on the top back of a bookshelf - would tip backwards from the force of the cables plugged into it. These thin cables make the stress on both the cables themselves and the devices they are plugged into much less.EDIT: I've now had GB service for several years, and consistently get 850 to 950Mb/s , which is what I'm getting from my provider, so for not being "twisted pair," these have functioned phenomenally, and are really convenient, easy to run, and space saving. Very happy.

Pros
  • ✔Flat Cat 6 cable design helps avoid tangled cords and saves space.Flat Ethernet cable is super flexible when run under the carpet or bent in the plane of its thin cross-section such as doors, rotating arms, drawers etc
Cons
  • The cables may take up more space than you expect.
