Quality

Very sturdy quality construction with metal fittings.

I liked the especially the connector build quality.

5g network and kept having horrible throughput and random dropouts, even caused the router i had to reboot.

I knew i would eventually upgrade the equipment like nic and switch but didn't want the old various cables to be the weak link - literally.

Price

Note to the manufacturer: for the sake of the tree huggers like me, maybe consider a less complicated packaging system.

This is as described and as it is packaged, i could not see how it would get damaged in transport.

Competitiveness

My measurements have indicated much better shield continuity (though not always perfect) than one of the alternatives here on this site.

I had bought some cheap cat6 cables and was getting around 600mbs between the two.
