Startech and cable matters are the best choice if you want the highest quality and money is not an issue.
In fact, you can buy 25' of the higher-rated cat7 cable for less than what this 25' cat6a cable is currently priced at.
It is faster, more reliable, and just a lot better overall connection as compared to wi-fi.

Doesnt seem to be any difference

With all the hype that wireless gets the connection is only as good as the signal strength and with the latest 5g advancement of wireless the wavelength is much shorter than previous versions 4g and below of which had the longer wavelengths
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So as with 5g the short wave it has trouble going through many structures without having a tremendous outlay of many many relay towers to boost the short signal

I called up quite a few asking about ethernet but the trend for them is wireless
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However if you read exercise blogs and articles you find the opposite as actual people would rather have ethernet connections stating many times losing wireless connection half way or three quarters of the way though an exercise routine or competition and being kicked out
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There were even a few representatives of exercise equipment saying yes ethernet is the way to go but the manufacturers do not seem to care or listen
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
With exercise equipment you already have a power cord coming off the machine so one more ethernet cord is not going to hinder anything

Since the position or my devices is uncertain i bought a longer cable giving me more flexibility
