Belkin A3L980-06IN-BKS 6" CAT6 Ethernet Patch Cable Snagless, RJ45, M/M - Black

I would purchase this again as it is Belkin, a well known name brand. Stay away from other "no name" brands as some other brands are CCA cable (copper clad aluminum) which is basically aluminum wire instead of copper and doesn't last/perform as well. Don't be cheap when buying Cat6 cable. Belkin is awesome in my opinion.

This cable changed my life. Previously the switch and the ethernet port on the wall sat in silence staring at each other like a mexican standoff, refusing to communicate. This cable bridged the gap perfectly and bring to an end hours and hours of conflict. The data visibly gushed through like a tsunami. My only criticism is that I wish it was orange.

Ordered this cable because my ps4 is a while away from the modem. At this price, I was not expecting much but to my great pleasure this cable has proved Its worth. It has lasted a long time without gaining as much as a scratch on the plastic wire covering. Its length is really handy and still does not tangle. One thing that could be improved is the fact that it doesn't straighten out very well but this does not affect Its ability to provide lightning fast internet connection.

My PC was running a little slow on my new FIOS network and tried multiple solutions to fix it, but nothing worked. I finally decided to purchase this CAT6 cable for wired connection over a wireless one and my connection is much faster, and surfing the web isn't so sluggish anymore.
My new place had the nbn wall connection at the weirdest place. And this cable help me extend and place my router where I wanted. No drop in data. Works perfectly fine for 52 mbps NBN speed.
Can't go past this Cat 6 cable for it's strength and positive connecting. It's typical of Cat 6 cables being stiffer than Cat 5 and was easy to feed into position. I've wired the house for Cat 6 so no point using less than Cat 6 cables on all devices. This was a good price and great quality
I'm not a techie, but for anyone who is unsure what Category 6 UTP (Cat 6) cable refers to, don't worry too much. All you need to know is if you want to connect your modem to a device via cable using Ethernet ports then this cable is what you need.It's designed for NBN speed(s) and the cable length is enough to connect the modem in one room to an adjacent room ensuring your internet is stable and always connected for that critical Zoom meeting/interview/streaming service.
Attempted to use this patch cable to connect an HP Envy 7650 direct to a new Netgear Nighthawk. Had issue after issue. End the end I have no fax, scan, or copy. Only print, with an orange light on the NightHawk. Tried a cable I had on hand, and all went smoothly. it went out with today's trash, and I am back to wireless, which works fine.
This CAT6 cable works well and I get the speeds I am supposed to with it. Belkin is a brand I have used for a long time. Being on DSL I really don't need a CAT6 cable ( unless you use a really long run (hundreds of feet...like greater than ~300ft) or have more than 1Gbps internet speed most people don't need more than CAT5e) but they seem more widely available than CAT5e now days and aren't really any more expensive so I figured why not. I mostly cared about the color of the cable as I like to use a different color for each device to make it easier to keep track of which cable goes to which device. Most routers and modems still ship with a CAT5e cable. One thing to note is the cable I received has the individual wires in the RJ45 connector staggered like CAT6 is ... MoreThis CAT6 cable works well and I get the speeds I am supposed to with it.

One thing to note is the cable I received has the individual wires in the RJ45 connector staggered like CAT6 is typically arranged rather than straight across like the first picture shows due to the gauge of the wire being slightly larger. The first picture is showing what the CAT5e RJ45 looks like with the individual wires in a straight line across the connector. The second picture shows the CAT6 cable I received.
Cable works well. I needed a shorter one for my desktop computer and didn't want to have to wait long. Walmart delivered this one in 2 days so I was pretty happy.
