Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
Size: 20 ftColor: BlueVerified Purchase
The cable was purchased for use in a camping minivan to run from cellular router/modem to area where laptop is used. So that when a hardwire network connection is preferred/needed over the WiFi connection I was ready. The original path of wiring dictated 20' cable however since the initial setup additional needs have arisen (another fan unit) thus the network cable was rerouted and now only need 15' cable. Since hiding 5' of extra cable is not easy in cramped minivan just bought another cable. IMPRESSED by how well made the cable was. Note: due to the shielding in the cable it is a bit thicker than those without.

5.0 out of 5 stars I expected better quality--and got it
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2014
Size: 25 ftColor: BlueVerified Purchase
From the beginning I had issues with this cable.
When I finally got it inserted into the Intel card (very difficult--like it was over-size), I didn't get a link state light on the switch.
Three withdrawals and insertions finally made everything work. Although it will go in about a mm after it clicks, it pulls back that much. I don't know if this is part of the issues it has or not.

After teaming my NIC with another one, things didn't really pick up any better than a CAT 6 cable had; in fact, it deteriorated after a day.

Using the built in cable test from Intel, the cable tested good for polarity, etc. However, it showed a problem at 21-meters away. Longer than the 25-ft cable. And the patch cord from the switch is only 3 feet. I suspected the switch at first, but that throughput, etc. tested fine. So, I swapped cable ends.

Now the same test showed a poor connection at 1 meter.

My guess would be a kink inside the cable, although the outside shows no sign of that.

UPDATE: 03/04/2014--Cable Matters contacted me and offered to send both a replacement and a return shipping label for the bad one. A couple of days later I got an e-mail that THEY were out of stock but had directed Amazon to replace it directly. The new one arrived and the problems are gone. And, the connectors are better!! It may have been a "Monday" cable.

(The only thing I do not have is a return label or instructions on what to do with the old one. LOL.)
