What does this mean?
Pros & Cons
Pros
The sturdy build and affordable price make it a great choice for networking needs. I compared it with a cat5e, cat5e has a little higher latency. Purchased these to update all my ethernet lines for the modem and router.
The jury is still out on durability as it's only been 2 weeks. Pleased so far. Changing my rating to 4/5.
The package comes with velcro ties, twist ties and fasteners if you're looking to fix the cable to a path. I know the cable isn't snagged or pinched since the cable is running along the top of the wall. Dealing with bulky cables can be a chore.
Cons
The cable itself is pretty thin so it lays flat along the wall if you're stringing it up there. Inexplicably stopped working after 2 weeks. Return and refund.
Highlights
Quality
Still working, used for several devices and locking pins still holding, dont feel cheap and work well.
Worked amazing never cut out best cable i’ve had in a while
Edit: the seller offered me a free replacement or full refund even after 6 months.
The flat cable is easy to wind up and store when i'm not using it.
Price
These were on sale for $22 cad (they claim half off) and are great for the price.
Thanks to these, i’m finally able to get high speed connections to my devices for the price of a cat5.
I tried to buy another one in person and it was 3x the price and it was huge and only in grey or blue.
Got 100ft on amazon for the price of 25$ at a big box store
Shipping
Cables arrived quickly, and did the job as expected.
No complaints, delivery was on time and they work as advertised.
I pay for 500 mbps and this delivered 700+ mbps download and 30-40 upload at 100 feet.
Packaging/appearance
The package comes with velcro ties, twist ties and fasteners if you're looking to fix the cable to a path.
It comes spooled in the package so i suggest taking advantage of that and unwinded carefully until you get your path figured out.
Competitiveness
I compared it with a cat5e, cat5e has a little higher latency.

Honestly wasnt sure if id like the flat pak aesthetic applied to my ethernet cable but its grown on me especially how it fits through narrow spaces a bit better

It does have the downside that you cant really easily string it along parallel to a wall and switch directions without spending effort to ensure the wire remains aligned but its a minor concern

I dont have any previous experience with flat cable and was always a bit wary of using them

I did however need something this time around that would fit behind trim and decided to use this material
