Great price, reliable cable!
I bought this cable so I can wire up my WiFi booster in my room. The cable is well made, because of all the shielding and insulation it isn't as malleable as a more basic ethernet cable (some may see this as a negative however it didn't bother me, including cable managing it). If you're looking for something reliable and with great build quality I would definitely recommend this cable for routing around the house. The added protection would limit interference as it goes through different parts of your house. I would probably want something softer if I wanted to connect an ethernet cable from my booster to a PC or console (short distances), just so I have that added flexibility. But I didn't need it for that purpose, for my use case it's perfect! The wide variety of sizing is a good thing that the brand provides (and also having the option to choose a white colour, but they have more limited length choices). I have gigabit fibre from my ISP and when I do speed tests I get the full speed, for both download and upload. So no issues in terms of performance from this cable! The pricing is very reasonable, the white one is a bit more expensive so I chose the black one.

Great and lasting
Used it for years and still works at the same speed. Love the length as you can tidy up things by moving it around the place.

Great quality cable at an affordable price
I bought this cable to run from the router downstairs to a switch upstairs. We have 1Gb braoadband and this cable is perfect for that. Speed tests show that we get our quoted speed upstairs now, so couldn't be happier. It's a bit stiffer than your average cable, probably due to shieding, but it's still easy to work with. I highly recommend it.

All good - but the release tabs snap so easily!
I have a number of cables from this brand, of differing lengths, and they perform just fine. On the downside, the tiny plastic release tabs seems to break more easily on this brand than on others. Also, while the cable is certainly robust, it feels a bit TOO rigid - that's being picky, though. Overall, these are recommended if you instal and forget, but exercise caution if you are regularly connecting and disconnecting, as those tabs are fragile.

Cabling for work
This were purchased as a temporary measure but ended up being a permanent implementation due to the overall quality, decent thickness, of the cables, which provided fast CAT6E speed (10Gbs), the connectors was fine and a snug fit.
