Review on CableGeeker Cat7 Shielded Ethernet Cable 150Ft (Highest Speed Cable) Flat Ethernet Patch Cable Support Cat5/Cat6 Network by Brody Jacobs

I bought them back in July 2020 and am only now writing a review. A few years ago I moved to a new location and decided that instead of installing ethernet cables it would be better to use our own router's Wi-Fi with a newly installed cable modem. It was fine at first, but over time the performance got worse and worse for both my Mac and PC. The cable company Sp-----m of course doesn't support Wi-Fi on our router and they wanted us to rent their own "approved" router for WiFi [so much for WiFi standardization]. The additional costs were silly [$72/year] that should have been included in the price we pay. To their credit, they sped up for the prize. But my router's Wi-Fi just wasn't up to the performance I needed in the space I occupied. So I decided it was time to go back to Ethernet. I bought 50 feet of white and black of these Category 7 cables. Now before I installed them I tested them. Once I saw that both worked, I then connected them together, systematically threading the two cables together and then ramming them into the wall with cable clamps, sometimes using zip ties to twist tight corners, etc. I was surprised at how effective it was it is worked. They work and remain in place to this day, and they have other cable clamps as well. It's important to remember that when measuring the distance you need to add inches, you need to walk the required distance. I measured every space, even the door gap, and I measured the arches of the door, not the floor that might get under foot traffic. I ended up with about two to three feet of sag on either side. So 50 feet was the perfect amount for me. In other words, measure twice and you don't have to correct mistakes later. Test your cable again prior to installation because once installed you don't want to know what a DOA cable is. Luckily my brain worked that day. Also, there are times when even the best cables aren't enough to improve speed due to the distance, which may mean you need a signal booster. As far as I understand if you are more than 100 meters away from the modem. You may see performance degradation. You should consider that. I'd say just plan, just in case, but only order if you're sure you need a signal booster. I didn't need them, and every day I'm steadily going through 200Mbps. Mucho, happy, happy.
