I received this in good condition with no signs of damage. The cable ends are sturdy with a nice anti-tangle guard over the locking tang. The cable and RJ45 connections were in good order with no visible flaws and showed no signs of rushed or sloppy assembly. The 6 foot length made connecting the cable very easy with no repositioning of equipment required. The cable worked flawlessly upon plugging into the my network. For testing I used it connect one of my PCs at 1000mbps to my router. prior to connection I ran a test on the cable to ensure all eight lines were patent and no crossover or shorts existed using a basic cable analyzer. No abnormalities were found on any of the eight lines. Connecting to the network, the link was solid with windows reporting the connection at 1000mbps. The RJ-45 plugs inserted cleanly and locked firmly into place. Releasing the plugs was made very easy as the locking tang is a bit longer than average allowing a good grip. Its a good and solid cable and has remained in use since receipt. I received this product at a discounted price or for free in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.

Plug not easy to use.

This is a beefy Cat6 Ethernet cable with solid connectors on the end that works well in my router and on my Ethernet USB adapter. At 6.5 long it is plenty long for my desktop use but still compact enough that I can pack it in my travel bag for use on the road. I have a USB hub with built in Ethernet adapter that I use on my netbook so I can get connected on the road when there is not a WiFi connection as well as for use on my desktop where the router is literally inches away from my netbook in normal use and the performance improvement is welcome. I have several older cables laying around butI liked the rubber cover on the latch release and the orange color for ease of location in my travel bag. I was surprised by how soft the orange cover and strain relief is and how sturdy the cable itself is. The black cable is very thick and has a strong soft flexible cover and feels very sturdy, even though its probably the inner twisted pairs it feels like it has a inner braid under the sheath. It feels great and is easy to use and transfers data as executed, its exactly what I expected for this price point, very nice. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Nice cables and work with the CAT5 cables for extending my outdoor security cameras.
