Monoprice Cat6 fixed length network cables are the perfect combination of value and performance. Available in a large assortment of colors and lengths, we have a cable to fit every situation. Each cable is made of 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductor pairs with 50�m gold plated contacts (short body). Most budget cables skimp with only 10�m. Each cable features color matched, snagless strain relief boots.
Monoprice Cat5e and Cat6 cables are made of 100% pure bare copper wire, as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in Cat5e and Cat6 communications cables.
I have gigabit service from Xfinity. We've been using an SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 modem, which Xfinity does not support gigabit speeds to. You require a DOCSIS 3.1 Modem, which is going to start around $150. We don't need the full gig speeds for my household, but due to the package we got, it's cheaper to stick with it and use the reduced speeds. Well according to Xfinity, and my previous tests verified this, the SB6190 will only handle around ~480Mbps over DOCSIS 3.0. We recently started to have some signal issues throughout the network, which was wired with miscellaneous cat 5/5e cables I had laying around when I set it up. They worked fine for a while, but boy was I missing out. I ordered 3 of these monoprice cables from Amazon, two 1.5' for connecting my modem to my EdgeRouter-X over POE, and one 30' for running up into the attic to my UAP-AC-Lite. The difference is astounding, and making me question the truth of what I've been told by Xfinity regarding their DOCSIS 3.0 network. Theoretically, 5e should handle up to gigabit speeds without issue, but the line rate is about half (250mhz) of these cat 6 (550mhz) cables, which can make a big difference over long runs especially with a POE environment and/or remote access points. I'm very happy to report that I am now getting OVER 700 mbps on a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and the cleanest wifi signals (previous AP run was cat 5) i've ever had. Absolutely the best $15(total! for all 3!) i've ever spent on my network for gains that are almost unbelievable.

3.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星5 stars for the cable. 1 star for the shipping from Amazon

Cable gets a 5 stars. Sturdy and does the job quite well. The only reason I am giving this a 3 star raiting and not a 5 like it deserves was because of the shipping from Amazon. Amazon held onto the package for almost a week and a half before they finally shipped the thing, even though the nearest distribution point is only 35 miles away from me. Amazon shipping gets a 1 star, which knocked the final score to 3. I am not the only one complaining about slow shipping from Amazon either. A lot of Prime members, who pay a lot for fast shipping, are complaining of slow shipping and late arrivals.
PROS: Cable is a good one and very sturdy. Well worth the price.
CONS: Amazon shipping sucks. It has gone downhill ever since they switched over to their "Amazon Logistics" crap and no longer ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Deliveries that used to take 5-7 days now take 14-16 days.
So, in conclusion, if you can find this Monoprice cable elsewhere, get it. Even if it's a bit more, it's more than likely going to get to you weeks before you get it through Amazon.

I've never bought a cable from Monoprice I was unhappy with, and I've bought quite a few cables from them over the years. I recommend Cat6 for home use, since Cat6a would be of benefit only for very long cables not needed in most homes. All my cables are 50 feet or less. Cat6a is recommended for lengths longer than around 100-150 feet. Cat5a should be fine too, but Cat6 is a bit sturdier and will handle higher speeds, should that ever be needed in the future. I prefer more sturdy cabling whenever I have to pull it through the attic or around corners.
I've had old Cat5 cables weaken and break over time because they are rather flimsy. Better to pay a bit more since the price difference for home use is only a few dollars for short cables (50' or less).
I also like that ethernet cables from Monoprice come in a variety of colors. That makes it easier when connecting several devices to know in the future which one goes where. The rooms in my home that have AV equipment typically need three or four connections, so I just buy an inexpensive switch for each room. (They're around $10 now.) The wires from each switch can be different colors. One for the TV, others for the DVD player, TiVo, AppleTV or whatever.
