Review on High-Speed Mediabridge Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable (15 Feet) - RJ45 Computer Networking Cord - Sleek Grey Design - (Part# 31-199-15B) by Kiko Fanandriansyah

I wouldn't normally write a cable test. Organizations know how to manufacture Ethernet cables with the required connectors on each end and the number of twists to match the data rate. However, this cable is an exception. Now it performs all electrical functions correctly, but it has a small additional feature that makes it less outstanding when used with a laptop. At each end you will see a flexible tab from the spade that curves towards the tab on the RJ45. This should make it easier to disconnect the cable from the socket. As most laptops continue to get thinner, this tab now resides on the desktop or other surface and actually releases the connection to the port. The result is a loss of Ethernet connection, so your network connection is lost. I resorted to cutting off the flexible tongue.
