1.0 out of 5 stars Less technical reason less expensive alternatives are better, June 19, 2001
This review is from: Monster Cable JN PCNJ HP-10 Computer to Ethernet Network Connection (10 ft.) (Personal Computers)
Ethernet cabling is actually part of the ethernet standard. Unlike audio cables which can be effected heavily by surrounding noise and improper shielding (which is another term for a metallic covering located within the insulation of the cable), ethernet cables will not receive better performance than the set standard.

The standard for ethernet cabling is known as Category-5 which as guessed is a successor to earlier standards. Category-5 specifies the optimum minimum & maximum length for a network cable. Also it specifies the quality of the conductors, as well as the quality of the insulation. Category 5 is not shielded since noise is not an issue.

All the above means is that the minimum standard specified is also the optimum standard. Even when improved upon, it does not mean you can receive better results from it.

In the case of high performance and highly reliable networks, such as can be found in respectible companies such as Lucent, Linksys, Cisco and others who specialize specifically in network communications, their internal networks use these cables in some cases where the cables are over 200 feet each, there are no reliablity problems related to using this less expensive cable.

*** In short Monster is using their name and reputation to sell network cables which do not offer then end user any benefits over other cables costing 1/4th the price. *** Before purchasing this item, look into alternative cables and find something reasonable priced that simply states Category-5 compliance

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, November 23, 2000

This review is from: Monster Cable JN PCNJ HP-10 Computer to Ethernet Network Connection (10 ft.) (Personal Computers)
Ethernet (and the tcpip protocal) is designed to handle poor signal quality.

CAT 5 cable uses a TX and RX line twisted around individual grounds!! That added to the FACT that ethernet uses a (2.5V-5.0V) HIGH and (0V-2.4V) LOW DIGITAL signal (off and on) there is no POSSIBLE way this cable is going to help you (unless your current cable is wrapped around a vaccumm cleaner a few times before it goes into the wall).

It saddens me to see Monster Cable sinking to this all time low ;_(

I honestly cannot believe that people would pay the much for a ethernet cable. Honestly folks look around you can probably get a 10 foot cable for 1$. Don't waste your money on gold plated tips! These guys might make good stereo cables but its just way to much overkill for an ethernet cable.
