plugged my computer into the router. worked.

it was the length that they advertised.

it was blue, like the picture.

they even included a free zip-lock bag and a twisty-tie.

i enjoy using it. in fact, this review is being transmitted to amazon using that cable.

neat, yeah?

Very good quality cable and excellent price, its reinforced at the connectors which is something to look out for as some cable have no protection from the wires pulling out of the connector.

I purchased this cable after searching many online stores and I could not believe the price was so LOW, I had half expected it to be of poor qualty, but much to my surprise it is top of the line with high end, ends and cable.

Pros: good, solid connectors, easy to insert/remove

Cons: the cable material is somewhat stiff and tends to hold its kinks and bends from whatever way it was stored, making the cable prone to tangle or snag and hard to route (it doesn't easily lay flat)

This is a great ethernet cable! I use it primarily to connect my Bluray player to my router. I also purchased it because of the price, but I received a cable that is very sturdy, looks well built and performs exactly as I need it to. I would definitely recommend this cable over all others. I would definitely purchase more products from Mediabridge in the future.

I bought this 25' cable to use with my PS3 because WiFi wasn't cutting it when it came to PSN, Home, and online gaming, especially with Killzone 3. My PS3 was in the same room as my Verizon Fios router (20mbs download and 5mbs upload speeds), and the wireless connection STILL wasn't reliable. Used this cable with my PS3 and router, and PSN's performance dramatically improved. I went to the network settings internet setup and made a new profile for wired connection. During the internet test everything passed with my NAT type at 2, Download speed was 23mbs, and upload speed was 4.1mbs (on wireless it wasn't even half those speeds). When playing Killzone 3 on a wireless connection I would lag out and get that annoying "Network Connection" error message, but I played for about an hour with no lag at all. The game icons in the PS store load up almost instantly. I was able get into Home with no network errors, and everyone's Home avatar loaded up a lot faster. I hope this info helps people who are looking to improve their PSN experience. I have yet to try streaming video media with a program called PS3 Media Server. Read additional info for network tips that I did that may help improve PSN's performance.

Additional Network Tips: If PSN's performance is poor then read the following tips that I did to improve it.
1) Set up a static IP address for your PS3. You can find a step-by-step guide on portforward[DOT]com. On the main page go to "other guides", then "configuring a static IP address", then finally choose the one for PS3. During the set up for this you would be able to choose a wired connection and a wireless connection. For the best performance and reliability, I would suggest using a wired connection.

2) After you made a static IP address you should use that to forward ports in your router. Go to the same website from step 1, but under "port forwarding" choose "Port Forwarding Guides by Router". Select your router (not every router in existence is on there) and choose "PlayStation Network" in the next list that comes up (it should be near that top in the second column). Follow the guide and if everything works PSN should work a lot better.

I hope this additional info helps you.

UPDATE:
I watched a movie by streaming it with PS3 Media Server, and it played flawlessly. When I was using a wireless connection it would always stutter, and the playback would just pause for a while because the bit rate would go up to like 40mbs. That poop doesn't happen anymore and playback is smooth as silk.

This ethernet cable was purchased because my dorm im moving into required it. I just tried it out twice today and i personally am big on wifi not really into having wires but i have to admit this ethernet cable met my expectations and standards required for my dorm room great product and glad it was not a trial and error experience with a wired set up

The cable is just as advertised and works as expected. Shipping was fast too. No need to get bent over at Staples or Office Depot.

I got this ethernet cable to connect a blu ray player to my wireless router. While the blu ray has WiFi this can never be as good as a direct cable connection. This cable is well constructed and flexible. Good connections that snap in to place with gold plated contacts which while not add to the integrity of attention to detail of the construction of this as well as most other Medibridge brand cables. It comes packaged in a cardboard box offering both good protection as well as being labeled on the outside. This also makes for either being used to store other items or easy recycling. This cable meets all the current highest standards for data transfer or an ethernet cable, likely exceeding the needs of most with a gigabit transfer capacity. It also meets the cat5e standard. It has reliable insulation. Just a well made cable at a good price. I am confident enough in this to use for my HD media streaming for my new home theater which is important to me.

I'm very happy I purchased this product. It is as described, made of good quality and arrived quickly. The price is excellent and it was exactly what I was looking for
