    • Quality product that functions well as advertised.
Color: Black Size: 20 ft
Ethernet cables seem common and easy to get but this cable is a good quality cable with a good connector that has that anti-snag feature, which is helpful when pulling cables behind desks and equipment. I also appreciate the packaging, that the cables are neatly rolled into a flat package and easy to uncoil into a nice straight line without it looping around other cables. The connectivity seems good, but the fastest I have tested is up to 1GB over my cable modem in speed tests. The cables feel like they are made of a good material that will last. ... show more

    • Reliable in every category imaginable!
Color: Yellow Size: 10 ft
Very good quality ALWAYS! I made an error and had to order a longer cable but the quality on this one was good enough that I had no reason to send it back as it will still get used in the future for another project. I've used some of the thinner jacketed type and they just scream CHEAP to me. Usually it show over time too. I've bought a few of this exact type elsewhere and they've always delivered in both performance and durability and they look clean too. And for what they cost? Why not? Flexible enough to easily manage or wrap up as a service loop but will stay where you put it too. Infinitely better than they ultra-cheap crappy ones, SERIOUSLY! The cheap ones you're ALWAYS taking a chance with too. ... show more

    • Seems to be a quality product and increased speeds to what I expected.
Color: White Size: 8 ft
I purchased a 30 foot cable to run from outside modem to the router inside. Cable was light enough to work with and run through two walls with no problems. Increased speed from router with no problems. I would recommend this product.
