What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The ends of this cable are solidly molded with good strain relief molded into the end. This has a feature that solves one of the problems with ethernet cables is that when you try to pull on them, that plastic latch tends to get hung on things and bre... Read More
If you have a short run to a printer, this is overkill, but it won't let you down. It’s for all cat 5 applications. Ordering from startech on amazon saves those funds and allows quality network equipment and cables to be installed.
Cons
Cables stink like burning plastic. Had to pay double labor to have this cable installed due to this.
Highlights
Quality
A good value for the quality and purpose.
Makes a nice tight fit with the end connector locks.
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.
Competitiveness
No issues with my cables, no smell, worked great in my 4x lag between a synology nas and workstation
The star tech snagless ethernet cable performed fantastically!
I needed a long cat5 cable to get from my wall outlet to my modem/router.

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

The little rubber tab as shown in picture that makes it snagless is soft and will not stand much abuse and you dont get a feel for where the tab is at through it either

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

One cable out of 10 would not click into the ethernet port and the company replaced it in 23 days

They were always snapping off with other cables

I purchased the 75ft version and i can immediately confirm the feedback from others that this cable emits a very strong chemical odor
