Description

Intended for Wired Home and Office Networks

- The cable's RJ45 connectors offer universal connectivity to computers and network components, such as routers, switch boxes, network printers, and network attached storage devices.

Built for Future-proof Speed and Reliable Connectivity
- This Cat6 cable supports up to 550 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).

Need to replace Ethernet cables, these Cat6 cables do the trick
KeniMarie

I purchased this 5-pack of Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cables to replace some older Ethernet cables and figured my NetGear N900 Duel Band router and NetGear Universal N900 Dual Band Wi-Fi to 4-Port Ethernet Adapter might be a tad faster with Cat6 cables. I was right, they are. In any case the cables are well made and look to me that the snagless clips will last longer than the unsnagless ones did on the cables that I had to replace. I'd recommend these Cat6 cables if you need to replace old ones or just want to upgrade to a faster cable.

Good cables
Timothy L. Obriant

Pretty much, you figure cables are cables and either work or don't. These do and the price is right. After a power surge in my home, I needed to replace an 8-port switch and my wireless router. I made sure to get gigabit speed devices but didn't have any CAT6 cables, thus this purchase. Installed everything, connected the cables and VOILA! Every thing is working great. I love it when it works.

Minimal snagless design, long enough
Trelligan

Minimal snagless design, long enough for my needs. My computer room keeps filling up with more stuff, most of which needs wires to talk to the rest. While I don't need Cat6 yet, why not get something that won't be out of date next year - unlike my printer.

Actually, have used all of them.
Amazon Customer

I've managed to find a reason to use all five - most for aesthetics rather than a hodge podge of different colors. That said, no problems whatsoever with the connections. No problems encountered.

Great Price
Gurnee Bill

Cat 6 as expected. Great Price. Since I only needed one, I replaced all of my other cat 5 cables for better speed. These 5 cables were cheaper than 1 cable at my local store.

Great cables
Watcher

Yep it's a cable and it works - what else could you need. It does look and feel of quality.

Works as described

Just plug in and connect. It's been less than a month and no problem so far. Check network connection and shows 1G as advertised.

Cable Really Matters
DonJ

Cable Matters makes a great product and sells it for a great price on Amazon. I purchased several different length cables by the 5-Pack. All were of excellent quality. I would recommend Cable Matters to my friend as well as anyone else.
