  • Work Great, Handle at Least 2.5G
Size: 1 ft Color: Black
These are really nice cables. According to the lights on my router, they can handle at least 2.5G, they are fairly thick and a little on the stiff side. They plug and unplug very smoothly, and overall feel very high quality. The snag-less design feels good and should be effective. The 1ft cables even came packaged in a long box, i.e. not bent. Glad I returned some cheaper ones and went with these! ... show more

  • Solid cables, work great
Size: 10 ft Color: White
These Cat 6A cables from Cable Matters do exactly what they’re supposed to. Speeds are fast and stable, and the shielding helps with interference. The snagless design is a nice touch, and the white color blends in well. Good value for a 5-pack—no complaints.

  • Good cables

Good physical build quality, good price, data speeds are as expected.

  • Perfect for a small home lab
Size: 3 ft Color: Black
These were the perfect length and function well with my 1gig network. I have no dips in speed or drops of service. The cable is thick but still bends well and has a really nice connector with a really satisfying click when hooking them up. I definitely will be purchasing again in the 1’ variant for when I upgrade to a small rack. ... show more

  • Great Product
Size: 5 ft Color: Black
Great product at a fair price. My only caution is the length of the connectors is noticeable more than those on CAT 5E cables which affects use behind furniture with solid backs (will be further away from wall).

  • 7foot 5 pack cat 6a
Size: 7 ft Color: Black
Very sturdy quality construction with metal fittings. I docked a star because in my 5-pack one was only 3' but that was OK as I had a use for it. The Cat 6a is overkill, but I ran a 75-foot line to my basement and wanted bandwidth for multiple devices. I mostly wanted it for the quality construction. ... show more

  • The cables I received were well made, of good quality, and to date, they have performed flawlessly.
Size: 10 ft Color: Black
As an individual who has worked with as well as hand made network cables in industrial applications throughout my career, I can say that the cables I received were well made, of good quality, had a great price, and for the particular application these were purchased for, it made more sense to purchase a pack of pre-made cables for uniformity and appearance. To date, they have performed flawlessly. ... show more
