5.0 out of 5 stars Size Is The Issue, June 20, 2002

This review is from: Belkin A3X126-03-YLW-M 3-Foot CAT 5e Crossover Patch Cable (Yellow) (Personal Computers)

This 3FT size is prefferable to the 10 FT size for transfering files. Less tangling and the price is MUCH cheaper.
The 10 FT model might be preferrable for gaming across the room, but gaming across the table with a 3FT cable is more fun.

You can also use a parallel port cable connection for gaming so this consideration shouldn't be given much emphasis if you already have a parallel cable.

If you do need to network over a longer distance in a working group, you likely will be using a hub so this is not the cable for that. Use a cat5 instead.

Plugged one end into desktop, the other in laptop. Ran the Network setup wizard, everything works perfectly. No need for hubs, switches, all that expensive junk. Transfers info about 10 Mb per second - amazing! Most files is like a blink of an eye. Perfect if you have XP on both machines like me. I don't know how other platforms work, but probably just fine too.

Now that I have a 3 foot cord, I am thinking about getting a 40' one and drag it across the room. I have dial up internet, and wireless (as I understand it) requires high speed.

Not much to say about a cable, but it works like you'd expect. Three feet is short, but just what you need in some situations (between a router and wireless access point in my case).
