Cat6 Ethernet Cable (3 Feet) LAN, UTP Cat 6 RJ45, Network, Patch, Internet Cable - 20 Pack (3 ft)

First time I ordered Ultra Clarity Cables patch cables.They are bulk packaged, not single bagged like others, which I'm ok with.They look just like the CM cables.They use a 23awg cat6 rated connector, which you can tell by the staggered configuration.The potted strain relief on all I have, look well done.Used over a half a dozen out of the 20 so far.I test cables for continuity before using, and all tested 100% so far.They feel like a cat6 cable, but the twist doesnt look so apparent.The twist isn't "printing" on the outer jacket like other cat6 cables, as is showing thru the jacket.Tight twists usually show through, and makes the patch cable less flexible, and increased the build OD, and when the outer jacket is formed, the twists show up a bit.These are fairly smooth, but normal flexibility, not great, but not bad.OD feels right, and does measure at the typical 5.9mm.I say this, cause I've received cables printed with cat6 on it, but no separator and very loose twists.So I Cut one open to see if its really cat6.By feel , they certainly feel correct.A good separator is in there.The wires are 24awg.Here comes the real bad news IMHO... was not expecting....And bad on me, I assume these were stranded wire, just checked the listing, they do note in the paragraphs, in the middle.. " 8 solid copper conductors".I ASSUMED that meant it was all copper.These appear to be CCA wire, solid wire, scratch copper coloring on the solid wires, and I get a bright shinny silver looking back at me.HUGE negative for a patch cable.See photo, with the native jpg, it can be seen, but not sure if the "silver" will show up with how amazon down sizes the photos.And twist is about 50% of what I would expect.Again, as mentioned in another lengthy review, twist is not specified and left to the manufacturer to figure but need to meet the specs for cat6 performance. But physics are physics, and there's is an expected norm based on other brands.This splits the different between cat5e and cat6At about 7mm / twist.Cat6 comes in about 4-5mm / twist.Cat5 comes in about 10mm/twist.So knocking off the stars as I'm dissecting the cable.Till I found the solid CCA and the low twist rate, I thought I was going to like these cable... outwardly they looked good and felt ok, but looking closer, is what made me cut one open.CCA huge negative. (EDIT: after I wrote the review, I noted that looking into the end of the RJ45 connector, you can see a bright silver at the end of the wires... and looking at my review after it posted, yes, can see the silver after the copper is scrapped away., clearly CCA)Solid wire, huge negative for patch cables.Subpar wire twist rate... for me a negative.. hey for a short patch cable it may meet the specs with this twist rate... for this I would have only knocked off 1 star.. but the other two issues of CCA and solid wire, make this a 1 star rated product. Subpar twist rate is a bit subjective.BUT CCA and solid wire for a patch cable is not.... for me at least.Cant tell the book by it's cover.

How thoughtful to provide a pack of gay pride patch cables! Now my home network switch is more fabulous than ever. Definitely sparks joy.Seriously, these seem like solid cables. They've all worked, they're well built. And it's nice to have some festive colors.

We have 3 rooms in the house that have ethernet wires that connect via a patch panel to our internet connection. We recently upgraded the internet speed to gigabit speeds, and I needed cat 6 cables to handle the increased speed. I got the cables from Amazon, and I was able to connect the patch panel to a gigabyte ethernet switch, which in turn connects to the internet router. Now I can run the computers at top speed.It is helpful having different colors for the ethernet cables, so I can quickly see which port is which.The older cat 5 cables that we had would only handle 100Mbs speed instead of gigabit speeds.

I needed to get some new ethernet cables. I have been expanding my computing power and didn't want to use wifi. I had some old cables that were about 10 years old, so it was time for some new ones! These fit the bill in every aspect. I was able to use the great 10-foot length to not move my ethernet switch. The color-coding of the cables made it very easy to match up which rig had which cable. The cables are sturdy and well made. I have been achieving the desired speeds with them, and they were quick plug and plays. I will be sure to get more as I need them and feel fully confident they will hold up to the test of time.

Let’s be clear you’re buying this because you want wires that are of different colors, but do you care if they’re the same length? Each color had a distance that was slightly off of 1 foot but usually roughly 1 foot and then roughly 13 1/2 inches I wouldn’t care if it was one or the other but instead it ends up being half of them one length and half of them another group by color so I can’t make anything look as nice as I had hoped ☹️. I now am looking at them and just feeling sad that I spent this much money on cables that couldn’t even be the right length.

The quality of these Cat6 cables do not seem as professional as other cables I have purchased in the past. The cable jackets have that feel of cables you get pre-bundled when you purchase something that comes with the cable. But for the price I paid I wan't expecting more.The big issue for me, was the 2 purple cables in the bundle would not work on my POE switch for my IP cameras. I had purchased 2 orders of 20 cables and the 2 purple in both packages (4 purple cables total) would not work. All the other cables/colors worked fine, so I think the purple spool the cables were being made from was bad.That represents a 10% failure rate. I sent an email to the company and waiting to hear back from them on the replacement of the purple cables. If they replace them without issue I'll bump the stars up to 4 (minus a star for the cheap feeling jackets).

Ordered these months ago, now I went to install them in a new setup and guess what? They are not 1 foot cables. MAYBE the are 8" total length, meaning 6" of cable and 1" of connector at either end. What a disappointment. They may work for bridging maybe 1u, possibly even to the router 2u away, but they are USELESS for connecting to the back of the NVR 3u's away. Such a disappointment, and falsely advertised as 1foot patch cables.

lol amazon is asking me to rate feature for "WiFi signal"? Cable works as a great antenna. with 8 conductors inside. I'm currently running an 4x4 setup but beamforming doesn't work when they all terminate to the same 8p8c connector. Would be nice if it came with a breakout octopus.Used as a patch cable with no problems at 1 gig ethernet between wired machine and 11ac/ax wlan bridge. So I guess I'm using it for WiFi.As for gaming. It's too short for a jump rope. I needed to use a coupler to join 2 cables.
