3.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for Ethernet, March 13, 2007

This cable is very tricky to use properly. It is below the minimum segment length for 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet. If you always use this between two gigabit ethernet device, don't use this for ethernet, or always use it along with other cables so that it is not the only cable in a segment, you will be fine.

I do not advise having UTP cables less than 8 feet in length around. It is too easy to accidentally use them to connect fast ethernet devices together.

"All copper Ethernet segments that run the Collision Detect (CD) portion of CSMA/CD have a minimum cable length to function properly because of reflections."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cable for modem and secondary hub near the primary hub, December 11, 2006

Using different color cables makes it easier to identify which cable goes where. This short cable is perfect to patch between the hub and the modem or secondary hub. There are 3ft Belkin cables to go from the hub to the nearby workstation.
