Christopher's review of StarTech.com 15m White Gigabit Snagless RJ45 UTP Cat6 Patch Cable - 15
3 April 2020Christopher

originally posted on shop.bt.com

Pros: Does what it says on the tin. Good ethernet cable.Cons: It was advertised as snagless (and the pictures show two snagless plugs), however the cable that was sent to me looks different to the one in the photos (the plugs don't have the rubber flap in front of the plastic lever to protect it).To be honest I don't care about this difference so it's not a problem for me, plus I understand orders might currently be harder to fulfil due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ethernet cables have writing on the sleeve, giving tech specs about the cable. Sometimes it is very richly colored, sometimes it is not. I had a need to expose a white cable, & searched for one that had faintly-visible writing on the sleeve. (I couldn't do a 'extra slim' cable at 50', & certainly didn't want flat) The ad pictures showed this to be the best contender. I received it today, and YES it is. The spec writing on the sleeve is very faint, thank you! Yes the cable design is fine & speeds are great. Great price too. Thank you startech. I recommend this cable.

The important thing is that this cable delivers the promised speed. But, for a premium priced, name brand cable, it has surprisingly flimsy connectors. The plastic ears that are supposed to make this “snagless”, are so fragile that the slightest sideways pressure will bend and snap them off. I’d avoid this cable for applications requiring threading it through tight spaces.Otherwise, the cable itself has a substantial feel, which makes it a bit stiff. A consideration if sharp bends are required.I bought this cable over considerably lower priced and lesser known brands, to avoid the higher percentage of reported failures and poor performance, but for the price, the fragile connectors reduced it’s value.

I purchased this cable to connect my home PC directly to my router, which is about 40ft away on the far side of the house. I opted for a longer cable to compensate for the various bends in the wall and to be able to run the cable more discreetly. So far everything works as advertised. I am able to get high data transfer, specifically I was looking to improve my internet speed and connection stability (previously I had been having issues with my wifi), and this did the trick.

I'm setting up some outdoor PoE Security Cameras and figured 50 feet for each would be sufficient. So far, these have worked out great. Pros: -Feels Durable -No Connection loss / bad cords -Not easily kinked Cons: -Not rated for outdoors Overall: I've looked through a LOT of Ethernet cords to find the right set for a reasonable price. I ran these through my attic where they won't be exposed to the elements and I've had no issues whatsoever.

Jay's review of StarTech.com 3m Black Snagless Cat6 UTP Patch Cable - ETL Verified - R
3 December 2020

Pros: I'm upgrading to gigabit ethernet in the home so they are drop in replacements for cat5 cables. Seem to do the job, but this is domestic, so I've not done proper testing. I've successfully used Starlink brand cables before, and have had no nasty surprises in the month I have used these cables.Cons: Seem OK, I've not tested, nothing bad so far (30 days).

Stuart's review of StarTech.com 2m Black Snagless Cat6 UTP Patch Cable - ETL Verified - R
10 February 2021

Pros: Great bit of kit. Less than 5% difference to download speed from plugging computer directly into the router, despite 2 adapters being on opposite sides of house. Don't have to sacrifice a socketCons: To get max speeds needs a higher quality ethernet cable (6 series or higher). Would be good if those cables came as standard with the product (comes supplied with 2 basic cables). however the higher quality cables are relatively cheap to buy separately

This is a well-made cable and a great value, as are most StarTech products. Bottom line, it "just works." The one criticism I have is that it does not come with the connector shown in the product page photo. Instead, it has, as shown in my photo, a pair of fins on either side. This is generally effective, but can be awkward to use in some cases - especially when space is tight.
