The cable seems mostly good with the shielding on a relatively inexpensively priced cable. Some of these negative reviews are really off base commenting on build components and manufacturing. Seems to be properly shielded as well.

Seagate ironwolf pro 16tb. Gbps to my nas. Benchmarked under windows 10 pro, using iperf3 with the parallel parameter set. Supermicro server boards with onboard intel x540 nics.

How is this even up to spec? Do not buy. Buyer beware. Look elsewhere or buy the stuff to run & terminate your own.

The nas reports that the top rate it can get is 10 mb/s, which is pathetic. The throughput seems fine, but the rj45 connector appears to be non-standard size.

The connector keeps slipping out of the ethernet port on my cablematters usb hub. It * because i have to tape it to the port, otherwise it slips out and i lose the connection. The cable works if it’s coiled up doesn’t if it's not.
