Mediabridge Ethernet Cable (100 Feet) - Supports Cat6 / Cat5e / Cat5 Standards, 550MHz, 10Gbps - RJ45 Computer Networking Cord (Part# 31-299-100B)

However, these are not Cat 6 cables, although they certainly appear to be. This is infuriating. They do not meet Cat6 specifications, even though they are clearly described as "Cat 6, 550 MHz," and "10 Gigabits per second" in the Amazon product header. The statement is false. As I went to install the fourth, I realized they are not CAT6. I bought 4, installed 3, and noticed that the others were not There is no 550 MHz support for these devices. After viewing the Mediabridge website and finding the product part number, I found out that it supports 350MHz Cat5e. There is a Cat5e adapter that supports gigabit networks at 350MHz on the website. There is no mention of the frequency at 550MHz, they are not described as Cat6, and they are also not described as supporting 10 Gigabit speeds, as stated in the Amazon description of the product. After the toil of cutting and pulling cables from walls and ceilings, I have to buy four new genuine Cat 6/550MHz cables and reinstall what I was supposed to initially get.

The full gigabit throughput is maintained with no packet loss or signal Despite some reviews claiming it is a Cat 6 with 550 mhz support, it is in fact genuine Cat 6. Those who can't be bothered to read the 'Cat 6' sticker or test the cable directly really shouldn't be reviewing it. I am very pleased with the cable construction. It is properly shielded and has a thick gauge. There is no copper aluminum cheap here, just real copper- Shady sellers are known to offer skated products. I was able to fit the RJ45 plug snugly into my router's LAN ports without having any problems. The cable management ties were included free of charge in the resealable packaging. It is a good product that I will definitely purchase again should I need to purchase more Ethernet.

If you read the Warranty and Support statement carefully before considering this product, you get a normal return period of 30 days and that's My unit failed about 60 days after I purchased it and it was repaired by In response, Mediabridge stated that their warranty didn't apply to products damaged by misuse (including when used in a way that is not intended), acts of God, fire, floods, or other circumstances beyond the control of Mediabridge. Mediabridge won't support it when it's used for anything, so you'll be lucky if you can actually do something with the cable. The total lack of customer service and support makes me reluctant to recommend this brand and I strongly suggest you look for Choosing Cable Matters as my new supplier was an easy decision.

Connector guards are present on this cable. It is a strong yet reasonably flexible cable, and so far it has not caused any problems with data transfer.
Here are a few things to keep in mind It is one of those cables with plastic guards over the latches (by "latch" I mean the springy plastic piece that clicks into place when the cable is plugged in). When cables aren't plugged in, the latches can catch on things and break off when the guards aren't in place. Nevertheless, the guards tend to get in the way if you plug the cable into a smaller opening (on the back of my printer, for instance, you can see the plug hole in the recessed opening). Depending on what you want to achieve, you can either bend the guard backwards (as I did) or cut it off completely. There are some people who find these plastic guards annoying, so I wanted to mention them.

FIOS offers a gigabyte internet service, according to speedtest. I find that the devices that use the most data get around 250Mbps. Over WiFi, I get 300 mbps (using a quantum router and an Orbi system set to I, however, could never get more than 100 on one of my upstairs connections, which is wired over a power line adapter. I am happy to report that the other power line adapters are working fine. In fact, it never occurred to me that a cable might be cutting off power to the upstairs, but that was what was happening. In addition, the cat 6 cables connecting the remaining power lines were installed more recently. This is the cable we are using upstairs. There's a scream from the upstairs computer.

I just moved into a small 1 bedroom apartment and wanted an Ethernet line running through the wall to connect it to the APT next door that Since their Quantum Gateway has extremely poor WiFi, something that is well-known, and because I am using a Gigabit connection, I DEFINITELY knew it was not a good idea to connect wirelessly. As I knew I would need a hardwire, I prepared myself. Although I have only ever used a 25/25 Internet connection from Comcast when I lived on Florida's east coast and an Uncle here on Long Island had a 150/150 internet connection, this was my first experience with Gigabit internet. In my case, I wanted to go with 75', but I chose 100' to be on the safe side. After coiled the rest loosely, I used the provided velcro clip to neatly store the rest behind my desk. There was approximately 20 feet left over, so I coiled and tucked the rest behind my desk. The Darller 200 Pack of the nail-in cable clips made the job look nice and clean this is what I also ordered from Darller. To install the cable as neatly as possible, I got the white cable. The cable went along the baseboards, around doors behind the TV stand in my APT that goes into her APT into a closet, then back According to Cat5e, a cable can transmit data up to 1Gbps for 100 meters if it is 100 feet long. This means that a cable 100 feet long can transmit data at Gigabit speeds. it is a cat6 cable that is rated at 10Gbps at 55 meters, which is 180 feet, and this cat 6 cable is also backward compliant with 5e and 5 even though no one in their right mind would use direct cat5 cable. I ran between two apartments and clipped the wire between them in about 30 minutes. We're going to walk our cakes! I am pleased with the cable overall, considering the price, as well as the fact that it ships in just two days with Prime. It is impossible to make a mistake.

A cable review would not normally be in my repertoire. It is easy for companies to manufacture ethernet cables with the right number of twists for the right data rates, with the right type of connections at each end. Cables such as this one are an exception, however. There is now a little feature that makes it less than stellar when used with a laptop, but it still performs all the electrical stuff right. There is a flexible tab from the boot of the cable that goes over to the RJ45 release tab on each end. The purpose of this is to allow the cable to be released Typically, laptops are getting thinner and thinner, so this tab is now down on the desktop or some other surface, allowing it to release the connection. Due to this, you lose your network connection because the ethernet link has been lost. Having not been able to use the bending tab, I have deliberately cut it off.
