The replacement cable is terribly frayed, at least one mouse or even a whole family of mice has chewed through it. The amount of plating the cable lacked was shocking! It was only when I saw this that I understood why my computers suddenly switched to Wi-Fi a while ago. New cable is perfect. After the installation, working computers, hardphone, everything back on ethernet. My PC that stays connected to WiFi receives a crisp and clear signal without interruption. Very satisfied and would buy again.
