KabelDirekt – Network Cable – Transfers 5Gbps & fibre optic internet speed – Ethernet & LAN Cable – 25m, Available in 0.25-30m – For Gigabit networks, routers/modems, RJ45 (black/blue)

I bought this in the hope but not the expectation that it was proper copper cable - however I'll admit it seemed unlikely at the price point. I cut the end off today to re-terminate as I needed to pass it through a small hole, so had a look. Sadly the copper scrapes off easily to show silver aluminium, and a flame test confirms this is not pure copper cable - it breaks and melts (see photos - apologies for poor quality.) As the jacket markings claim it is "VERIFIED CAT 6 ANSI/TIA 568 C.2" this basically makes it counterfeit - none of the Cat5/5e/6 standards cover CCA cable.It is also a pain if you need to re-terminate it - it has a plastic pair separator with an 'X' cross-section which makes the cable very bulky - it will not fit a standard 8P8C jack plug without modification. I had to fiddle around slicing the insulation to get at the separator, then very carefully cut it without damaging the conductors. To be fair it is sold as a pre-made cable, so this is just a warning to other would-be cable hackers, not a criticism.

I've used loads of different ethernet cables, some cheap & some more premium quality & these perform exactly as expected.Very durable & connection between cable & port is secure with new fear of accidental disconnection if pulled accidentally, 1 thing I would suggest is un-reeling the cable when you 1st get it & removing any kinks, although I highly doubt the wires would break it's a small job that could save you time & money down the road.

After recently signing up to fibre max at my home (after waiting years for it to become available!!!) I wanted to hardwire my games console to my router however my console and router are complete opposite sides of the room! I knew the length I required however did purchase a longer on should anything change.When the product arrived I was very impressed with the quality, the cable feels strong and durable and also the connectors look very solid to.After quickly testing the cable before moving all my furniture and pulling up the carpet to install. I wanted to see if the improvements were noticeable. Over WiFi I was receiving a average of 53MBs download speed which compared to my broadband was 10x Faster! However in this modern age games require massive amounts of download speed for constant updates. I then hardwired to console and the downloads speed went to 88MBs on average! That again is a massive difference!The only downside to this cable is that it’s hard to bend or shape to your floor as it’s so strong and durable but this is a real pain as most people will be hiding the cable we’re possible.Overall I would definitely recommend this cable however installation is just tedious.

My download speeds were becoming intermittently slow so I connected the ethernet cable that came with the router and hey presto achieved 98bps. That being the case I decided to buy a longer lead and cannot fault this for delivery time (next day) and apparent quality. In short I bought a 20m cable to lay down wherever and whenever needed and it was a very good price.

Used this to connect from hallway to tv setup. Was able to manipulate under the door and round the skirting with no issues and was receiving maximum speeds consistently.

I needed a 25metre ethernet cable to run around my old house to overcome WiFi problems. Initially I chose to make my own using cable and connectors from ebay but this had many errors. KabelDirekt solved my problem with this product, it is solidly made, with good quality well protected cable and connectors. I would recommend this cable and buy it again if needed.

We have suffered through weak wifi at the back of the house since we moved in. This has caused a few issues with my daughter being unable to access it in her bedroom. We bought boosters and these weren't enough so now this is plugged in to the booster and it works a charm. No more teenage mess in my bedroom!

Moved the home office and needed a cable to run from the old location across the loft and into the new office - this cable was just the job - maybe a little overkill on my part and at some point I will rewire properly but needed the interweb hooked up without interruption and this did just the job !!
