Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

We were locked into an outdated plan. our speed problem is fixed. No failures after many replacements. They work fine and were not expensive.

Short ethernet cord to connect my desktop to the router. Used it to make a direct connection from my at&t internet modem to my new samsung q90 65 tv. Ran these from one side of the house to the other, running poe aps with a gigabit uplink.



Cons

The retaining clip is very weak and broke on first use. Very disappointed to be expecting 75' rolls and getting only 7' cables.

Price


This works wonders for me, and i normally don't give out 5 star reviews on here oh and it's a great value for the size.


It's value for the money, and durability good like any cord is.


These were cheap and they just worked.

Shipping


Came overnight and is a good connection to my fiber modem.


Shipping was delayed and i almost canceled, but decided to wait.


I wish they sent the right length.

    Ive generally had very good luck with startech brand products on amazon

    First off the strain relief molding turned out to be even better than the one in the photo here on amazon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Notice that some brands of cat 6 cables have a strain relief that flexes in the 34up and down34 direction but not 34side to side34 due to a molding running the length of the side which tends to cause the cable to bend severely sideways if pulled hard in that direction


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The molding shown in the product folder here is a small step up from that with molding strips on the top and bottom


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Tbh i nearly didnt buy this cable because of that strain relief in the amazon photo vs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The previous 14 ft cat 6 cable i had other brand was much stiffer and remained curled like a corkscrew hanging down and going across the floor despite my best efforts at straightening it by bending the other way


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Still way smaller than the connector so if you are running it through a wall hole shouldnt matter a bit

    As for how the cable works see the speed test photo
