Now I know why they can offer it cheaper than most other sellers

The cable works but you can also easily see that the quality of the cable itself is not that high. Maybe I'm just used to working with Category 5e plenum cables with thicker copper wires inside, but the cable itself is pretty damn flimsy and it seems like it just breaks if you twist or bend it too much. I bought it because I was lazy and didn't want to run my own cable through the attic to another room with a box of 1k cable (for about $60), but yeah it looks like I would use it for a year or…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Very thin cable and wire - still punches through connectors

It's a good deal for the price, but I was surprised at how thin the jacket and internal wires are. It bends easily. All I needed for my application was a 100 foot twisted pair Ethernet cable and it fit the bill. But compared to the regular cable that you can run through walls, it was below par. The wires are still well inserted into the connectors. Still 4 stars because it works as it should. I wouldn't use this cable if you need say 100 feet to get through a conference room or exercise room…

Excellent value for a 75ft cable. . . BUT

I had the task of connecting the router to the Internet hub - twice a week, daily. Due to COVID restrictions we have had to move our FREE tax prep service to another location. Our router needed to be positioned to provide secure Wi-Fi 50 feet from the nearest access point in our new facility. The cord served its purpose HOWEVER this cord was not designed to be rolled up after each day of use and had significant kinks. This cable is not your typical vacuum cable designed to be pulled and…

Pros
  • Cat 5e cable
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

The cable expired after a few months.

This cable won't stand even the lightest of uses. We ran it through the attic into the closet a few months ago and everything was fine, 850/850 range. He hasn't moved since then. I've noticed a slowdown on my main PC. I assumed it was coming from the switch or deployment. After removing all hardware between the router and the PC, it was even slower. This is how I can call the provider's helpdesk. You didn't see the problem. Suppose they were wrong and insisted I was getting nowhere. I then…

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other picks
