Monoprice 103419 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable - Network Internet Cord - RJ45, Stranded, 550Mhz, UTP, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 24AWG, 2ft, Black

Monoprice cables and Amazon Essentials cables are the two brands I trust more than any others out there. This cable is durable and serves as a perfect patch cable into my network switch.

Hey, can’t complain and works. Was as advertised.

Purchase two cables to connect the switch and wifi router cross a drywall. Works as expected and very tight when connected to the RJ45 ports. Others complains it's hard to unplug the cable. While for my case it's advantage without worrying the cable gets loose from the ports.

Works, good price, just the right length. Performs as expected. Unfortunately as mentioned by other reviewers it is incredibly difficult to remove once installed. It's very painful to remove with your fingers and basically requires the use of a tool like a screwdriver to press down on the latch.

And good value. Used to replace some older Cat 5 cables to work with my 1 Gig internet speed. This is well built and I would buy again and highly recommend it.

I've never bought a cable from Monoprice I was unhappy with, and I've bought quite a few cables from them over the years. I recommend Cat6 for home use, since Cat6a would be of benefit only for very long cables not needed in most homes. All my cables are 50 feet or less. Cat6a is recommended for lengths longer than around 100-150 feet. Cat5a should be fine too, but Cat6 is a bit sturdier and will handle higher speeds, should that ever be needed in the future. I prefer more sturdy cabling whenever I have to pull it through the attic or around corners.I've had old Cat5 cables weaken and break over time because they are rather flimsy. Better to pay a bit more since the price difference for home use is only a few dollars for short cables (50' or less).I also like that ethernet cables from Monoprice come in a variety of colors. That makes it easier when connecting several devices to know in the future which one goes where. The rooms in my home that have AV equipment typically need three or four connections, so I just buy an inexpensive switch for each room. (They're around $10 now.) The wires from each switch can be different colors. One for the TV, others for the DVD player, TiVo, AppleTV or whatever.

The project required CAT6 to connect 24 channels of wireless to a switch. Short cables of high quality made the job not only work as soon as we flipped the switch, it looks great. You're right, I should take a picture.

Does what it's supposed to do.
