I researched the Cat5/Cat5e cables, but decided upon this Cat6 because you get future connectivity for the same or lower price! How hard is that to figure out?
Plugged it in (after wiring through two walls) to the XBox 360, & my little gamer son says no problem so far. Heck of a lot better, more reliable, and cheaper (by $60-85) than buying the wireless unit for the XBox, as long as you don't mind crawling through the attic or basement!

One of these did not survive a rough trip through the wall. It would connect briefly then drop, so I guess there is a short somewhere. Lucky for me I bought two when I only ended up needing one, so I was able to clip the cables together and pull the working cable through.

Purchased this as great price when compared to just buying cable at Home Depot. Roughly half the price. Unfortunately think I may have received a defective cable. Tested it by swapping out this cable for a known one already connected to my computer. Did not work. I believe it was because of the bad snap in connectors at each end. Once inserted I had a very difficult time getting them back out. Almost broke my router getting this cable disconnected. It has a slightly different snap tab then I've seen before and looks like it was either defective or slightly larger than normal.

The other thing to note is this is a patch cable and has flexible wires inside. If you are going to place wires permanently inside your walls you should use solid wire and/or have to use special flexible jack connectors on the wall plates. Didn't realize that until I did some additional research.

Ended up purchasing wire from Home Depot. Tossed this wire as it wasn't worth returning it or buying new connectors for the ends.
