3.0 out of 5 stars NOT Belkin, September 23, 2010

This review is from: Belkin 50ft 10/100BT Fastcat5 E Utp Patch RJ45M/RJ45M Snagless Black (Personal Computers)

Cheaper build quality than Belkin, and was not shipped "snagless" version by Parts Express, so I cannot review that feature. Cord feels flimsy and easily breakable. I'll just have to be careful with it.

The cable is acceptable but it is NOT belkin. They sell a generic and try to pass it off as the name brand and it's not! I had the exact belkin cord in a shorter size and this is obviously a knock off.. the construction quality doesn't even compare.

I worked a decade in the technology field, including as a purchasing agent, so I know my parts. I also developed caviar taste and a willingness to pay extra for quality, which is why I buy Belkin snagless cables. I wish I'd seen the comments here before I placed my order--or trusted my instincts that no one could sell Belkins at this price. What I received was, as others have said, clearly NOT Belkin. It was just a cheap, knockoff cable of the sort I could make myself if I was in a bind and really needed to.

The cable arrived in a laughably big box, shipped via Fed Ex. I guess you can afford to ship so inefficiently when you're ripping people off. I contacted Parts Express and demanded a return, and I was told I'd get a shipping label immediately--though why they'd spend the money on a return for such a piece of junk defies logic. So far, I've not received one, so I've turned the matter over to Amazon.

Buyer beware...
