My son needed a cord to run X-Box Live. After looking at the cords that were specifically indicated for X-Box, I decided to just find a cord that was of the type needed. I found this very long blue cord that works great, and it's half the price of the other "X-Box" cords. Don't waste your money on those other cords. Buy this one. It reaches easily from my son's room to the computer in our office area.

Product works great and was a great value. Similar products sell in stores for $40!I love it.

Arrived in a timely manner, great price. The only negative I have is the outer casing for the wire is not very durable. Just don't try to close a door over it or it may cut into the casing, silly me...

I bought this for my computer to get the fastest speed possible for my connection to the Internet. I found this works really good for my modem which is 35 feet away. It allows me to watch High Definition Video from Amazon and Netflix and works really well. I will be buying another one when the time is right!!

My cable works fine, I've had no problems with it. Buyers should note that it is not the kind of ethernet cable with rubber casing over the connectors to prevent them from catching on things when you pull the cable. As long as you don't need that, this cable works fine.

Used this with a Xbox 360 to run through 3 rooms to internet router. Not too durable if walking on, rolling across, or shutting the door on it. Really I should have put it in a better location. Over all it worked for about 6 month in those conditions before it died. Did not hesitate to buy the exact thing again, maybe I'll be easier on it this time!

I needed a ethernet cable for my PS3 after using the 50 foot 35.00 cable i bought at BestBuy for my new computer, because going wireless is ok at best when your playing a multiplayer shooter. I seen the cheap price and that most of the reveiws were pretty good for this cable.
So i decided to try one. The cable works great. My PS3 does not lag at all while playing online. This cable works as good as the 35.00 dollar 50 foot cable that i bought from bestbuy and cost alot less.
The onley 2 things that the more expensive cable has over this cheaper cable is, the more expensive cable has a thicker outer covering,
and the more expensive cables covering is not as stiff.
If you need a cable to connect your game system or computer to your router or modem, give this one a try.
For the price you cant go wrong.

Sometimes I see reviews that say "low quality", then argue that the cable isn't carbon fiber reinforced with gold plated connectors, so it must be low quality. That's not the kind of "low quality" I mean. What I mean is that the cable fell apart after a month.

As a few other reviewers have said, the cable is fine _as long as you don't touch it_.

I use the cable 'on the go', I plug it in only when I need it. After a month of light to moderate usage, the plastic coating has separated from one of the connectors. That's probably a grand total of 20 connections/disconnections from the computer. Obviously, it's pretty low quality, regardless of your definition, regardless of how you're using it.

(I uploaded a picture of the broken cable so that you can see the issue)

Bottom line:

If the cable's just going to be sitting in a fixed location and never touched, and IF there's nothing in a similar price range that will suite your needs, this might be adequate.

For any other usage, get something else.

This is not the toughest cable but it works and is economical. Very light weight,would not use in a mission critical setup.

It's an Ethernet cable. No noticeable slowdown in speed. It's a nice shade of blue.
