How do they perform when running from my router to my Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Nvidia shield as well as my 4k smart TV?

I only needed one for my Xbox to connect to my router, but this comes in a pack of ten, so I couldn't use the same cable for another system

What are the specifications of cat6 cabled RJ45 jacks on cat5e+? The things in my house are like that. ?

The quality is good and the price is reasonable
5/5

As a frequent buyer of Cable Matters products, I can honestly say that not a single item I have purchased of theirs has failed me. I have used their product for a few years now, and their support is excellent when I need it. We strongly recommend you buy this product!.

I have been very pleased with the cables I received The cables are excellent
5/5

It is my job to distinguish between good and bad cables since I have handled and cut into quite a few of them.
I have also cut the cables of the CM unit. Cables of this quality are five stars. Copper wiring made from real strands of copper. As expected, the separator twists and separates Someone else also posted about this connector not being a real cat 6 There is only one reason why "cat6" complaint connectors are outdated, and that is because the 23awg wire is an optional feature on cat6. There is nothing to do with staggering or the separator in the center. It all has to do with the twist rate and separator. CM cables both have high quality cat6 patch cables with stranded all copper wire, which should be expected in a good quality patch cable.

Ethernet cables play a significant role in network performance
4/5

After running some new long runs to eliminate the slowdowns I no longer experienced wireless instability. All of the cables that were extras in any device were bundled up and I used those on the new runs as the wall- to-wall runs Depending on the device (station), cables are needed. A Gigabit link would not come up to full I ordered these cables after a good experience with their SATA cables, and I was pleased to hear that the speed I was hoping for was achieved. I can now say with confidence that what I learned over many years in IT was reinforced by this experience, but I chose to ignore it because, as many people do, I prefer to use what's already available to purchase It was a good decision to buy these cables in this case. It is a great brand with good prices for high quality parts. I will going to buy more products from this brand.

Could the Cat 6 Patch Cables from Cable Matters have been faulty? It's still not 100% clear to me, but I think ALL of the Cat 6 cables I ordered through Cable Matters about 3 years ago may have been The cables have not failed, but after doing some research, I learned that the terminating ends (plugs) of Cat 5 and Cat 6 differ clearly
5/5

Plugs with Cat 5 wiring are supposed to have straight wires, but plugs with Cat 6 wires are staggered or in a zigzag The year 2018 was when I ordered a bunch of Cat 6 patch cables from Cable Matters and Tripp Lite. Almost all of the wires in the plug ends of the cat 6 cables I ordered through Tripp Lite have the zig zag pattern, but none of the cables I ordered through Cable Matters do. Basically, you can have a cable that is 100 feet long with a cat 6 plug on one end and a cat 5 plug on the other, but the cable will behave like a cat 5 cable since it has a cat 5 plug on both ends. Clearly, I am correct about what I said above. I am still investigating this matter, but so far I have seen nothing else that disagrees with what I've said. In addition, there are two items of <<<<< that must be stated in ## EDIT ## . You can compare You can compare You can compare You can compare There may have been an error on my part. The wires go in straight as they do in the ones I got from Cable Matters in fact, I patched some cat 6 cables myself a while back and I still have some Ideal cat6 rj45 8p8c ends. When the wires are crimped onto the connectors, the ends of the wires will also be cut since the connectors are designed in a way that the wires can feed through.

Does not Work The maximum speed is a gigabit
5/5

Three things have come to my attention after years of experience in home networking *Brief description here Buying bright-colored products is not a good idea The ethernet cord should be colored if it will be seen The goal is to blend them together - 1. *br. Instead of crimping the ends on yourself, buying patch cables of the right length is probably better than crimping them This reduces the chances of encountering random connection problems. 1. 2. 3. If the connector ends cannot be disengaged easily, ensure that they can be. In the past, I purchased some ethernet cords that were very hard to pinch, and it eventually came back to bite me when I tried to remove them from devices that were tight. The cables we have here meet all three criteria in a satisfactory manner.

There is no question about the price, but there is no clear evidence of the value
3/5

Flexibility is not an option. They allow me to connect some computers I'm building and modifying to the Internet. For computer networking and IP security cameras, we have a number of Gb hubs throughout the house. These are fine if you are making one connection and not touching it again for years, but if you are pulling and reconfiguring more frequently, then you should use Initially, I had some jumper cables with some IP cameras for testing, so I had them for the purpose of You can't go wrong with I bought this package of 10 5' cables because I needed a few more. My opinion of them is not very positive. I don't like them because they are stiff. It will be a point of pride for me to evaluate each. Their lack of confidence leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Among the Pros This is a low-cost jumper that's good for permanent installation. The cons are If you want to build your own, you can do so for about the same price. The type of wire you would use for a jumper cable should be stiffer in the wall. *If you want nice jumper cables, you should make them out of flexible wire, like the cameras they came with. This is not a product I would purchase This was my first time purchasing just one package, and I am glad I did.

This is well worth the price! In order to connect my POE switch and patch panel as part of my network closet wiring, I needed a good patch cable
5/5

There was no doubt about these. I appreciated how well packaged and designed these items were to make my setup look neat and professional. As for performance, it is equally impressive. Although I don't have a Fluke test, the data speeds indicated by my controller indicate that they are excellent.

Connect your in wall couplings with this high-quality, flexible and tight fitting connection! My modem and router base needed to reach a second room, so I grabbed these to extend ethernet into it
5/5

As I will be using these as networking closets to move servers and switches from one cabinet to another, I may have used a spool and added heads myself, but I wanted a fully molded solution since these would be within a wall, in which drywall dust might The cable I used to connect them within the wall was a 4port female wall plate and instead of using a punch tool and wall plate ethernet port, I chose to get two 4port female wall plates. Easily mounted within a 4" gap between walls and had a tight fit with the retaining clips, they were flexible enough to mount easily. In an upgrade scenario, I can look forward to having the ability to replace the cables and upgrade the cable runs in sections without having to use a punch tool again in case wiring technologies advance significantly.
