Review on ๐Ÿ’™ SolidLink - SL610A5 500ft CAT6A S/FTP In-Wall Ethernet Cable (CMR Rated) UL Listed Bare Copper Solid 23AWG Conductor 550Mhz Fluke Tested Wire (Blue) by Larry Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality CAT6A cable

I bought this cable to run through all the rooms of a new house under construction. I have gigabit speed switches, NICs and routers and can say that when transferring files over the network this cable performs at full gigabit speed if not better than using a Cat5e cable (10Gb I have yet to test ). ** Pay attention to this. The cable is thick, so you need CAT6A RJ-45 plugs with CAT6A termination blocks. I bought these shielded RJ-45 connectors that work great with this cable https://amzn.to/2KKJByV ** Pros: - High quality (thick cable) - Gives me slightly faster speed compared to Cat5e cable (Cat6A has more bandwidth than Cat5e) - Disadvantages of S/STP (Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair) cable: - Difficult ends as the wires are difficult to bend - Can be awkward to insert into RJ-45 charging rail initially - Sharp The foil and braided shield can puncture or cut you if you're not careful
