Product Review Summary: I'm pretty sure didn't work I was setting up a wired home network, and it wasn't working. I replaced this one with a 3 foot belkin cable (the blue one), and the network worked fine after that.
Product Review Summary: Excellent alternative to WiFi Simply got tired of all the WiFi disconnects and problems. Instead of drilling holes into my walls to put CAT5 cabling I decided to try these babies. Work great! I didn't give them 5 stars because they each take up one wall outlet and I don't have that many in my old home.
Product Review Summary: this Belkin Cat 5 cable . . . not as advertised Belkin is a well-known manufacturer of electronics and telecom equipment. They fabricate many different kinds of telecom cables, including Category 5. The Cat 5 cord pictured is a low profile, where the insulated connection between the cable and the modular pins, provides protection against damage. Unfortunately like many others, the cord I received does not have factory terminated pins. Substituting a cheaper, lower quality item is misrepresentation at best, and fraudulent at worst.
For Cat 5 cables, improper termination is one of the most common reasons for reduced transmission rates, or cable failure. Cables are supposed to be tested for compliance with industry standards, before being sold. On average, a non-insulated connection is more likely to fail, because the cable can more easily be bent or twisted.
I bought a factory terminated cord on eBay, made in China, for three dollars. The packaging states that the cord had been `Verified to ETA/TIA 568' standards. Unlike the Belkin cord, which had no statement about testing. I paid half as much and got a better quality item, so when I need another cable, I won't be buying this one again.
Seems like misrepresentation is going on here. The incorrect image should be pulled, or replaced with an accurate one. It's not worth my time to return the Belkin cable. The cord works, but I didn't get what I expected, and I would be wary about purchasing any other cords made by Belkin.
Product Review Summary: Not PRO Series The cable I purchased is not the one pictured, and I can tell you why. It
is a 'bulk' style cable made by Belkin (I checked the UPC registry), NOT
the PRO Series pictured with the strain relief.
The PRO Series from Belkin has the strain relief, model numbers ending in
-S, e.g. A3L791-25-S purchased from Amazon. Be aware of this, I see other
reviewers complained also. The FastCAT 5e series also has strain relief,
e.g. part #A3L850-07KS-MOD. The 'S' in the part # means strain relief as
part of the manufacture. Look for this when buying Belden cables and you
won't feel deceived or burned by the seller, unless they ship the wrong
part number to you. In this case make sure what you're buying first. Even
so I had no problem using these bulk style cables.
Product Review Summary: Nice Cable~ This Cable I bought from here is good of quality, meanwhile, it is cheap. You cannot miss it. I would not like to afford this kind of cable in my college's bookstore beacause price there is always high and not that worth.But here is the difference of online shopping.
