Pros & Cons
Pros
The ends of this cable are solidly molded with good strain relief molded into the end. The anti-snag mechanism works great.
Green coloring helps with recognizing the different cables going into my hub. The color options are great for helping keep track of what is connected where.
Cons
The smell is hard to localize. Had to pay double labor to have this cable installed due to this.
Highlights
Quality
The quality is good and it appears strong enough to last for a long time.
The quality is good and the length is perfect for the job i needed and the smooth flexible cable allowed me to snake it through... Read More
Works great but not great for home use.
Price
The price is very reasonable, and if you need only cat 5e, then there may be little reason to get more recent cable iterations.
Good price, solid cable, no complaints here.
Shipping
Product is as described and shipping was timed perfectly.
Just what i needed and fast fast delivery of course!
Packaging/appearance
Was easy to pull through the rack, even in a few tightly packed areas.
Competitiveness
No issues with my cables, no smell, worked great in my 4x lag between a synology nas and workstation
Used this as part of a lagg between a couple back end infrastructure switches.
I needed a long cat5 cable to get from my wall outlet to my modem/router.
But let's be clear: cat5e cables are a commodity.

When my roku device went out of sync and a power reset of the device did not fix the issue i was concerned that my 2 year old roka ultra had gone bad

A few minutes of troubleshooting soon revealed the 2 foot ethernet jumper from the network switch to the roku device had gone bad just sitting there for over 2 years without being touched

You get these sorts of cables to easily visually identify cables

That said cat 6 and 7 cables are available for roughly the same cost

Even the newest cat 8 cables are available for just a few dollars more so if your patch cables tend to last a lifetime and you envision wanting to continue grabbing it off the pegboard as needed for a decade or so to come im uncertain as to why you wouldnt get a more recent cable type especially as they are all backward compatible with earlier setups

Very few of my startech cat5e cables have failed and only with darn good reason like me tripping over them and inflicting abuse
