Shorter than stated. Bend radius not included in package

Ordered 5 1ft cables. They were short. Approximately 9-10 inches. Also one was bad and wavy in the middle. Also, the packaging does not include a 4 inch bend radius for shielded cables. In my experience, there is about a 20% chance that a cable will go bad. See picture for reference. AA battery included for scale

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

You get exactly what you want!

If you are buying this you are buying for a specific purpose and it fits that need perfectly. That's exactly what you would expect. It's important to remember that this is Cat 7 ethernet, not Cat 6. Cat 7 is almost certainly overkill for everything right now, but I bought it because for $3 you'll protect your ethernet cables in the future be able. .I bought this to connect my PiHole to my router and it's perfect

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Socket required

Best cable out there

I like this cable. I could say that this is Amazon's best basic product. I bought the black one and didn't know there were white ones, but who cares. that works best. My router was in one corner of the house and my office was in the other. I used this cable to move my router to the middle of my house and boom, I have good internet in every corner of my two story house. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on WiFi systems. $10 did the job instead of spending $300.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No automatic

Shield not connected

It claims to be category 7 and has grounded connections but they are not connected (I checked with a category 7 tester and cable toner) so if there is a shield ( I did not cut to check) it's useless. By the time this arrived I was already using another cable (with the shield properly connected) where I wanted shielded cable and had already decided to use this where Cat5e would have been fine. So I'm wasting a few bucks instead of returning it and buying a cheaper cat5e. But if you really need…

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Some errors

Strong and needed wall cable organizers

I switched from a wireless adapter to an ethernet cable for my newly built computer because I had about 250Mbps which is half of my internet plan. I know it's fast, but I want to get what I paid for. This ethernet cable was able to provide a maximum speed of 500Mbps, for which I am grateful. However, there are a few issues that I would say annoyed me a bit. First, it's a very thick cable. This means it's incredibly difficult to bend without damaging the cable when twisted. And I know it might…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Functionality
