Cat6 boosts Cat5 speeds by over 15%
Verified Purchase
Using Cat5 cables for internet modem, router, PC connections for years, the thought of upgrading Ethernet cables never crossed my mind. Until August 3, 2021.

Testing WiFi routers with/for WeLink Internet Service in Henderson, Nevada has me on the phone with inhouse techs almost daily. Our goal is to achieve the maximum download speeds from the rooftop radios being installed on homes and businesses. During one phone call, I mentioned an ad I saw on Amazon for Cat8 cables so did some research and was told by WeLink that they believe Cat5E or Cat6 work best. Thus, I ordered Monoprice because of the low price and I have purchased their other items with good results.

BOTTOM LINE: I did speed tests using Cat5 cables and then swapped the modem to router and router to PC with Monoprice Cat6 cables. RESULTS: Download speed went from 497Mbps to 575Mbps which is a 15.69% improvement.
 
Works very well
Verified Purchase
I use this ethernet cable to connect my Bose Music System IV to my router. I've had it for a couple of months and it has worked very well, no problems at all. I purchased this cable because it was inexpensive, and also because it was a zeroboot ethernet cable, so there is no boot or cover on this protecting the ethernet cable clip, but it makes it a lot easier plugging and unplugging it from my router without a cover being on it. I would definitely repurchase again if I am in need of another ethernet cable.
 
Reliable connection from my FIOS modem to the router across the room
Verified Purchase
I wanted something inexpensive but reliable to rearrange my living room. The FIOS modem sits on one side of the room by the fiber connection, and the router moved with the entertainment stand to the other side of the room. This 25ft cable does the job I needed and I still get the 300MBps internet speeds I pay for. I always like a good product at a good price.
 
Worked as expected
Verified Purchase
This cable outperforms my other Cat 5e cables. I was able to actually almost double my Internet speed by using this from the router to my computer. I had tried two Cat5e cables prior to this and I had a bottleneck. I tested and determined the cable, however unlikely, must be the bottleneck. I replaced it with this Cat6 cable and my troubles were gone!
 
High quality cable, reasonable prices
Verified Purchase
Cable seems very substantial, jacks are quality and well attached. I'll certainly buy longer Ethernet cables from this same company when i need. This shorty is perfect length to make a wall jack-to-wall jack pass thru from living room to office room. No sense in leaving a 3 foot cable wound up in a wall when a 6" piece will do.
 
Excellent Cat6 Cable
Verified Purchase
I used this to move a Cox Panoramic router 6' lateral & 6' higher to get better wireless signal throughout the house. It worked great for this purpose.
 
It's working great for me. Very low price.
Verified Purchase
I have a slow connection so Cat6 doesn't mean much to me. But with the connection I have, it's working great so far.

Perfect for what I needed. Using on Logitech 700e POE security cameras. Great price.
 
Work perfectly!
Verified Purchase
I used these cables between my patch panel and switch. Less bulky than cables with snag less boots. I love these cables.
