BYTECC C6EB-3B 3 ft. Cat 6 Blue Enhanced 550MHz Patch Cables

Pros: Excellent price on sale. Nice quality made cable with great shielding, and nice protective hoods over the clips.

Cons: A little on the stiff side, but that is to be expected with Cat 6 cables over Cat 5.

Overall Review: Good price and fast shipping from the 'Egg. Great cables for the $$$$

Pros: Price on sale is fantastic. Good quality shielded Cat 6 cables. Nice hood over the clips

Cons: Maybe a little on the stiff side....but with the better shielding that is to be expected

Overall Review: Upgrading all my patch cables to Cat 6, and caught these on sale at the 'Egg. Good quality cables at a good price. Very nice shielding, and the clips and protective hoods are good.

Pros: It works, and does exactly what it needs to do, without any problems. Hard to beat the price at 20 ft.

Cons: It doesn't feed my cat for me.

Overall Review: Ethernet cable is one of those things where if you pay $10-$20 for some name brand cable that doesn't even provide this amount of length, then you really get taken advantage of. You can buy spools of cable length for pennies per inch and crimp the heads on yourself for almost nothing, so there is NO reason why a company should ever charge you all the money they tend to charge. It's just the same copper wire in all brands. There's no such thing as higher quality Ethernet cable. Unless the heads were poorly crimped on and pop off (which I haven't had happen in all my years dealing with Ethernet cable) then there's nothing to worry about. Go as cheap as you can for the length you need (or longer for good measure). This is a good deal.

Pros: - It's a cable - Works at advertised speed - Solid construction

Cons: - Doesn't solve my relationship problems.

Overall Review: It's a cable.

Pros: Do what they are supposed to do

Cons: A bit stiff

Overall Review: They are cables and do what they are supposed to do. Only issue I had was they were pretty stiff so I knocked off an egg for it.

Pros: The cable is well built, solid and based on the diameter of the cable the gauge and twist rate is definitely appropriate for CAT 6e. I especially like the tab/finger built into the connector that will prevent tangling and allow for easy release/removal when connected. Design is much much better than the typical hood design used by other cable manufacturers.

Cons: None so far!

Pros: Worked for me. Cheap enough.

Cons: Stranded wire construction actually made my task more difficult. Not a concern for 98% of patch cable users.

Overall Review: I bought this to run telephone circuits into a patch panel without having to crimp one end. Well, I found out that time saved inside was spent outside, trying to strip the 26ga stranded conductors to screw into the POTS network interface box. Got it done, but lost strands in the process.

Pros: Great cables! Perfect for 10GBASE-T and above. These are better than Cat 6a.

Cons: Outer end casing boot sometimes had to be removed around the insert clip on some applications.

Overall Review: The latest standard from the TIA for enhanced performance standards for twisted pair cable systems was defined in February 2008 in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10. Category 6a (or Augmented Category 6) operates at frequencies up to 500 MHz - twice that of Cat 6. It can support 10 Gbit/s applications (especially 10GBaseT) up to a maximum distance of 100 meters. I was able to obtain speeds exceeding ten gigabit/s with these cables through a SMC Tigercard.
