- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025Size: 10 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseI recently purchased the Amazon Basics RJ45 Cat 6 Ethernet Patch Cable, and it has been performing exceptionally well. The 10-foot length is perfect for connecting my laptop to the router without any clutter. The cable feels sturdy, and the gold-plated connectors ensure a stable and fast connection. Since switching to this cable, I've noticed more consistent internet speeds, especially during video calls and streaming. Overall, it's a great value for the price and meets all my networking needs.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025Size: 25 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseAmazon Essentials has yet to let me down. I was looking for some CAT6 ethernet cables but found out pretty quickly they can be rather expensive. Until Amazon came to save the day. You can't go wrong with this. I love the locking mechanism the cords use where they snap into your devices. They can be rather difficult to pinch loose and pullout, but I will take that over them accidentally being unplugged.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2025Size: 50 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseI bought this as a backup for my computer for work in case the Wi-Fi has issues. Have not used it for my laptop yet, but my son used it for his And with the adapter that we have. He says his gaming speed is better.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025Size: 14 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseJust as advertised, and it even showed up a day early.
Obviously, simple plug and play. I have fiber, and I was getting about 480 up and down when connected to the wireless router in my office. When I plugged in directly to the ethernet port, those speeds more than doubled to 970 down/ 980 up. Amazing. Well worth it, as I work from home and need the fastest and most reliable connection possible.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2025Size: 50 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseI bought this so I could wire up my laser printer into the network, as all of my other cables were too short to reach my router.
Signal is fine, I don't have packet loss. It's plenty flexible and routes around and under stuff no problem. No cons, no pros. It's a cable, plug and go!

Ciro Dell’AversanoReviewed in Italy on April 19, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Il top per creare rete mesh
Size: 5 FootStyle: 5-PackVerified PurchaseL’ho preso per collegare direttamente il PC al router mesh e la differenza si è sentita subito. Connessione stabile, zero perdite di segnale, velocità piena sia in download che in upload.
Il cavo è spesso il giusto, ben isolato, con i connettori che entrano saldamente senza allentarsi. Lo sto usando in una postazione dove serviva un cavo lungo e affidabile per lavorare e fare trading: promosso a pieni voti.
Ottimo anche da far passare lungo pareti o zoccolini, perché resta morbido e non troppo rigido.
Pro:
• Segnale stabile e velocità massima
• Ottima qualità costruttiva
• Connettori robusti e precisi
Contro:
• Nessuno riscontrato al momento
Conclusioni:
Se ti serve un cavo Ethernet serio, lungo e stabile, questo è perfetto. Lo uso tutti i giorni per lavoro e non ha mai perso un colpo. Comprato una volta, già voglio prenderne altri.

SiddheshReviewed in India on May 28, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Pure copper not CCA
Size: 50 FootStyle: 1-PackVerified PurchaseThis cat6 amazonbasics cable is pure copper (stranded of cource),i tried the burn test and the scrape test. most cables are CCA which are not durable and have high resistance (never use those especially if you need PoE). I got it for 350rs (50ft) which is a great deal imo. Definitley good quality cable. I've made few patch cords out of this (d link rj45 connector) and they are all working great at gigabit full duplex (10G might be possible but my hardware only supports 1G). I also have a cat5e 50ft from amazonbasics which i believe is actually CCA but i've been using it for more than 2 years, it is working fine so far (using it for a 100M lan non PoE).
