Pros & Cons
Pros
Startech is a brand that i trust 100% with their cabling. Solid no frills, well made, seems to have good through put without issues. Good performance at a good value. Not too big or small and no complaints.
If you want to read a bunch of long and in depth study type reviews, they are here aplenty.
Startech has a rubberized cover over that delicate plastic clip on the end of the rg-45 connector. It is a nice solid connection with no wiggle, as i have experienced with other brands. The cable fits snugly into its socket at either end.
Cat6a doubles data transmission bandwidth and decreases crosstalk interference. Internal shielding makes cat7/cat7a cables thicker, stiffer, and better shielded.
Cons
Handcuffs without a key are like handcuffs without a keys. The release clip that locks it to the device only has protection on the sides, not the top.
Highlights
Quality
This product works flawlessly and it is 25 feet long!
Overall a well done quality product experience.
Do not measure any difference in transfer speed between this and the cat5e connected to ethernet port 1.
With all the hype that wireless gets, the connection is only as good as the signal strength and with the latest 5g advancement... Read More

Cat7 and cat7a cables have a greater copper cross-section and more shielding than this cat6a cable.

Star tech has much better shielding

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
