Cable Matters 160012-BLK-50

Il miglior cavo in circolazione

I’m renting, don’t have attic access, and wanted a proper hardwired connection—so yes, I ran this 50ft Cable Matters Cat 6A cable from my router to my PC through exterior. Sue me. I reused existing pathways from the old landline telephone infrastructure, which honestly felt more like upgrading the house than doing anything sketchy. I had to cut and re-terminate one end to make the run, which gave me a look at the internals. The construction is solid. Overall shield with a drain wire, plus individually foil-shielded twisted pairs. That’s exactly what you want for Cat 6A to control EMI and crosstalk. The conductors are flexible and don’t hold their shape like solid core, which is normal for stranded patch cable—not a quality issue. Performance-wise, it delivers. I’m seeing noticeably better and more consistent speeds with lower latency compared to the cable it replaced. Is this an outdoor-rated CMX cable? No. Is it protected, properly routed, and working perfectly fine in a rental with limited options? Yes. And for the price, this cable punches well above its weight and actually feels like it meets spec instead of just wearing the Cat 6A label.

I bought this cable so I can wire up my WiFi booster in my room. The cable is well made, because of all the shielding and insulation it isn't as malleable as a more basic ethernet cable (some may see this as a negative however it didn't bother me, including cable managing it). If you're looking for something reliable and with great build quality I would definitely recommend this cable for routing around the house. The added protection would limit interference as it goes through different parts of your house. I would probably want something softer if I wanted to connect an ethernet cable from my booster to a PC or console (short distances), just so I have that added flexibility. But I didn't need it for that purpose, for my use case it's perfect! The wide variety of sizing is a good thing that the brand provides (and also having the option to choose a white colour, but they have more limited length choices). I have gigabit fibre from my ISP and when I do speed tests I get the full speed, for both download and upload. So no issues in terms of performance from this cable! The pricing is very reasonable, the white one is a bit more expensive so I chose the black one.

Great quality shielded cable. Flexible and easy to run. The metal RJ-45 connector is sturdy. I had no issues getting full gigabit speeds with a 50ft run of this cable.
