Bought this 50ft Category 6 patch cable made by belkin from Parts Express, the cable showed up at my house in 3 days and for around $7 its the best deal online and I could not be happier. I use this cable to connect my XBOX 360 to my modem and it works flawlessly, can't ask for much else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Really Need CAT6 but I Splurged, May 24, 2009

Cable works fine. I'm not really impressed with the wing flaps on each side of the connector tab they use to prevent snags as I think it can get pressed down and leave the tab open to catch on something. I would have preferred a cover over the tab. Otherwise, the cable works fine. Note that for almost everyone at home CAT6 is only relevant if you have a router that has gigabit ports and only for transferring of data between other wired devices/computers. It should not have any effect over a standard high speed internet connection as some reviews seem to pro port. Even online gaming (unless through LAN) will not be boosted. I did an easy speed test (speakeasy) with this cable and another CAT5 and there was no difference. Otherwise, it works just fine for the internet and great for data transfers between the multiple wired computers.

As soon as I got this in the mail, I immediately set it up to test it out and all I can say is, nothing but perfection when it comes to this cable. Of course I didn't know that much about Network Cables but once I asked around everyone said go with CAT6 type of Network Cable. So I search and got a GREAT deal(Thanks To Parts Express) and couldn't be happier.

Now, please keep in mind that the only reason why I am using this type of Networking Cable is because I have it hooked up to my PS3 and my Xbox360 for online gaming. And believe me, it works perfectly with no lag or Connection Errors.

And with that being said, I would only recommend this type of Network Cable for people who plan to use it for:
- High Speed Internet Applications
- Online Gaming
- Streaming audio and video
- Home or small office networking

Great deal AND a great buy!!
