MonopriceCat6A 5ft Black Patch Cable Double Shielded (S/FTP) 26AWG 10G Pure Bare Copper Snagless RJ45 Fullboot Series Ethernet Cable

It's an S/FTP cable with a gold plated and shielded connector. Network test speeds on a Fiber Optic 3 Gig connection were pulling 2.3 Gbps down and 2.1 GBP's up with a sub 1ms Jitter.Worth every penny, and its not even the most expensive CAT6A cable on Amazon per foot, its just great quality and a good price.

I bought this cable after seeing most people suggesting Monoprice cables. Not much to say except that the price is great, and it does the job! I am using it in my apartment, and my desk is right next to the Ethernet port, so the 10ft length is plenty.

I recently helped a friend out with running cat6a cables around his house for smartifying his home. He got his cables from Monoprice, so I followed in his footsteps and bough the 5ft, 7ft, and 10ft cat6a patch cables. I did so to standardize the cables that I had running from my router to my computers and my server at home, while trying to prepare for incoming fiber installations for my home.So for the hardware of this wire I tore it down and took some pictures to find out what was the quality of the cables I bought. I found that it was as expected, Shielded(foil around wires), Twisted Pair(wires twisted to reduce crosstalk), Shielded RJ45 Connector(more grounding protection), and Snagless Boot. The RJ45 connector is however linear as seen in the picture.I wasn't able to adequately test the capabilities of this cable for networking. I'm limited to a transfer rate of 1gbps for my applications and with my testing so far it performs well in transferring 1gbps. For PoE(Power over ethernet) applications it works well when going through a PoE injector for powering devices like an AP(Access Point for Wifi). With the cable I was able to do PoE for my U6-LR that I run for my home.In conclusion, I would personally recommend this cable. But as stated the RJ45 connector is linear instead a zig-zag pattern and that has the potential to increase crosstalk. This cable is of good quality and the shielding is there. As for other bundled cat6a cables on Amazon I didn't find any of them to have the zig-zag RJ45 connector. The only way I saw to get that, was to buy a bundle of 100 RJ45 connectors and build the cables yourself. With this experience, I would recommend this cable and I will be buying from this same company again.

Very well made CAT 6A cable.Got this to improve bandwidth on a long modem to computer run.Works flawlessly.I will buy this again if ever need Cat6A cables.These are really nice, and much better than CAT 5 or 6 only.I am pleased.

Just what I needed. Great color.

Seems like good quality, has the speeds I should expect, a reasonable price point, just, not quite the purple I was hoping for. That's really just a nitpick and me being extra, though.

You can't go wrong with a Monoprice cable. I've purchased a lot of audio and computer cables from them and have virtually never received a bad product. Their quality is real good and so is their price.

Product works very well for my current need, no issues with connectivity

I wanted a short Cat6A cable to link my switch to my mesh router. This does the job perfectly.

They work

Good quality cable, comes with shielded connectors as expected with Cat6a STP cables. It works perfectly, connects at 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE just fine.However, it is NOT 24 AWG. Even the cable markings do not say 24 AWG, the cable is in fact 26 AWG.Not sure if this is an error with the Amazon listing, or whether Monoprice is falsely advertising this as 24 AWG, but that's why it's gotten 4 stars instead of 5.

Great Product. As described

I sent it back and got a refund.
