It's a cable that works and nothing else. The only thing I wish Cables To Go would do is have some sort of Variety pack of different colors.

I bought this cable and two other colors of the same brand 8 months ago, and they've been working fine. I've been getting my cables from Cables To Go since the mid-90's and they've always been very high quality at a great price. Highly recommended!

What can I say they are patch cables. Works like they are supposed to and good price.

This cable arrived early and exactly as advertised. I used them for the installation I had in mind, and they are working just fine. Great Buy.

I've got a pretty complex home LAN--in fact, for a home LAN, it's extraordinarily complex. I've got an outside net hooked to my DSL modem (rather than just connecting a gateway box to the modem--I serve my domains, so I need two DNS servers), an internal net for private stuff, a wireless LAN, and an isolated net that the wireless LAN connects to, from which the only thing anybody can reach is the VPN server (you've gotta have a VPN if you want to use a wireless LAN; WEP is a joke). And, sometime this year or next, I expect to run a line out to the office in the garage, and put yet another Ethernet segment out there. (The WLAN doesn't really reach out there, since line-of-sight runs through the roof of the house.)

With all this stuff, I have an extensive collection of spaghetti. My wife's been complaining for a while about how much of a mess there is in the office; but, in the long run, keeping it tidy requires being able to look at a cable and know where it's going. Hence these cables, so that I can color-code the LAN. For a first step, I bought a bunch of yellow cables for the internal network. The outside net will be blue; the private net for the WLAN will be black; the long-distance line to the garage will probably be red or something.

And, of course, since it's Cat 5e, I'm ready for Gigabit Ethernet once the prices of switches come down. Hee. :-)
