  • Reliable Speed and Smart Design
Size: 10 ft Color: Black
As someone who relies heavily on a stable and fast internet connection for everything from gaming to high-bandwidth video editing, the quality of my network infrastructure is paramount. The Cable Matters 10Gbps Cat 6 Ethernet Cable has proven to be a reliable addition to my home network setup. I bought 2! From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was evident. Cable Matters is a brand I trust, and this cable certainly lives up to their reputation for robust, high-performance connectivity. Pros: -- Blazing Fast & Stable Performance (10Gbps Ready): This Cat 6 cable immediately provided a noticeable boost in stability and consistency over my older cables. Latency felt lower, downloads were snappier, and streaming 4K content was absolutely seamless. --- The flexible, raised boot on the RJ45 connector protects the delicate locking tab from breaking off – a common and incredibly frustrating issue with standard cables. This means easier installation and removal, especially in tight spaces, without worrying about losing connection due to a snapped tab. -- Superior Build Quality: The cable itself feels incredibly sturdy yet remains flexible enough to route easily. The connectors snap firmly into place with a satisfying click, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The black color is discreet and blends well with most setups. Ideal Length for Many Applications: The 10-foot length is perfect for connecting a desktop PC to a router, a gaming console to a wall jack, or a smart TV to a network switch in a typical room setup. Cons: -- I really dont have any haha ... show more

  • Thicc Boy
Size: 20 ft Color: Black
Surprising well made and has very thick protective wall, handled snaking through drywall without a scratch. Length is plenty for your use case, when measure, it was 1 inch above advertised sold length. No obvious continuity issues, rating seems to be accurate.

  • Decent. Cheaper than local Big Box Store
Size: 30 ft Color: Black
I probably know the answer to this but why is purchasing a CAT6 cable of varying length so difficult at a big box store? Sure, Home Deepo and Lo's (trademark infringement avoidance) sell spools of cabling and Best Bye (again, TM) sells the generic 6-footers... but it seems easier and cheaper to simply hop on Amazon and find the required length and click BUY NOW. This cable works fine. It was purchased because we wanted to move a router and I didn't want to break out a spool, plug and crimp tools to make a custom length one. Because time. The snag free feature is easy enough to cut off which makes depressing the lock release easier and in my case, allowed it to fit properly. Snag free seems sort of silly as I had no plans to run this through a wall but it seems most manufacturers are going that route. Whatevs / ... show more

  • Cable Does Matter!
Size: 20 ft Color: White
Excellent product! The quality of connectors and cable are top notch. My previous ethernet cable was giving me slow speeds. As soon as I replaced with this product, my internet speed jumped right back to where it should have been.

  • Good connection

I used this cable to connect with and extend another Cable Matters cable using an ethernet connector. No problems connecting them. Good quality cables.
