Rosewill RCNC-12007 50-Foot Black Cat 6A Enhanced 550 MHz Network Ethernet Cable - Screened, Shielded Twisted Pair (S / STP)

Pros: The only SSTP cables I could find at a reasonable price. I've bought several of these cables in different lengths for all of my wired networking needs (cable modem to router, router to NAS box, router to powerline network adapter, and media PC to powerline network adapter). The shielding is on each individual pair of wires, then the whole bundle is shielded. So far I've seen slightly increased network speeds, even when transferring data wirelessly from my Macbook Pro (wireless N) and the NAS box. There are a lot of power bricks and wires around where the NAS box/cable modem/router/battery backup/external USB drive are located, so the shielding really cuts down on the interference. Same goes behind the media PC and TV area. Movies now stream and play from the NAS box with no stuttering. At the very least, the cable between the router and cable modem, a 1' cable, has made a difference in internet speeds. Before installing it Speedtest.net would fluctuate between 18Mb and 20Mb download speeds, and now it is at a rock solid 21Mb no matter when I test (to a relatively local server). Test speeds to other servers across the country have also seemed to stabilize.

Cons: Absolutely none for me, and none for you either if you are using these cables directly between devices. But... if you are going to use ANY shielded cables with wall jacks, 1) the jacks have to be shielded, 2) the wiring inside the walls has to be shielded... otherwise the shielded cables will do you absolutely no good.

Overall Review: If you think you might be experiencing slower network speeds because of interference get some of these cables! Even if you don't think you have any problems these cables are worth it (between devices). You may just be surprised to find that they have made your network more reliable, and a bit speedier.

Pros: - Was The Proper Length. - The Part Number Matches Up. - Fair for the price you pay.

Cons: - Does Not have a Gold Plated Shield As Described in the photos. - Saw a loss of 150-300mbs on a wired Gigabit Connection. With the shorter shielded cable I see the full 940mbs that Cox offers. Now I see between 590-790mbs which is still fast but not what I was looking for.

Overall Review: I do not recommend this cable for someone who is trying to achieve maximum speeds. We can argue all day about cable speeds. Many factors do influence your overall speed but when I use the shielded cable I see better performance and less noise. For now it allows me to place my modem where I want to. I will purchase a better product later.

Pros: -Quality is perfect -Strong and durable

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: When I use ethernet cable i want them to be tought and hard to bend. I want to feel the "click" when i plug it. When i look at the connector i want to see something that look durable and feels durable and IS durable This cable gave me all this ! It wont boost connection but at least it doesnt feel like ill need to buy another one for a long time

Pros: Sturdy construction and works at 1Gb with our current equipment.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Works for our short patching needs. We have not been able to test this with 10Gb hardware yet.

Pros: Sturdy and seemingly well built

Cons: Many of my Rosewill cables end up failing. I purchased a few for at once since I use a lot of cat cables on my network and connection speeds over time drop to 100mbps and need to be replaced.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this brand after so many failed cables. I had very high hopes that ended in disappointment.

Overall Review: Great Product

Cons: Has a very strong PVC vinyl plasticizer smell. Returning it.

Overall Review: Would not recommend.

Pros: Sturdy construction Performs very well

Overall Review: I have routed this cable through my apartment to the router down the hall and into another room. Plenty of long to fit through cable guides, keeps things looking neat. Performs excellently, have not lost any speed.
