Multi Cable SLIM FLAT 0.5m Cat6 RJ45 Ethernet Network Patch Lan cable - Multi Coloured "10 Pack" - 0.5 meter + 15 Cable ties

I needed to replace my network cables as the ones I have been using are over 20 years old now, I purchased a five pack of five meter cables and a five pack of 1 meter cables.I have two PC’s I needed five meter cables to reach and one as a spare should I wish to connect anything else up at my desk and the other two I have run into the bedrooms, I did this as although the wireless works well I much prefer a hard wire connection.The one meter cables I ran one connecting the router to a network hub and have run the other four cables off that, one connecting to my Xbox One, another to my Android box, one to the TV and the last to my satellite box.The quality of these seems very good with solid connections on the end and the addition of cable ties to tidy them up, I like the different colours making it easy to identify each connection by its colour rather than having to work it out or stick labels on them all.Summary**********I purchased these as they seemed the best value with the 1 meter being £6.29 for a pack of 5 at the time of ordering and the 5 meter being £12.39 for a pack of 5 at the time of ordering, quality is very good and very easy to manipulate and hide being flat for these reasons I have given them 5 stars. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Excellent product

An excellent value set of 5 x 1m Cat-6 LAN cables. I bought these to go with some new switches at home - to replace a slow and unreliable PowerLine solution. I use these for 'local' connections to 2 Smart TVs, a NAS, a wireless Access Point and 2 BT YouView boxes.Being flat cables they are easy to use and are much less rigid than the round variety. They also came with 15 handy cable ties which I have used to tidy up some of the other long cables in the house.It was a shame that the package had not been sealed properly and the cables had fallen out. The delivery driver apologised and then returned later when he found them in his van. So, good service but poor packaging. Hence just the 4 stars.

Very pleased with this purchase - it's only when you replace all of your old LAN cables with these new, flat ones that you realise how difficult it is to get the old ones to go round corners!I have just replaced the entire set of leads in my home setup with these - Cable modem to router, router to server, router to PC and router to Powerline adaptor - and I'm very happy with the results.I want to say that everything runs faster but that may be all in the mind! Having said that, it's difficult to track down a LAN cable that is intermittently failing and I was using some fairly old ones so there may be some truth in my initial assumption.The cables arrived in fuss free polythene packaging, absolutely fine as I didn't expect anything pretty for them. Included in the pack is a set of small cable ties in various colours - white, black and yellow. I may use some of these for tidying up when the cables are in the right places but for now I'm just cleaning everything up and putting it back together.One of the main benefits of these flexible, flat cables is that I can now move my router to a better position as these are much easier to put into place than the old ones, particularly if you want them to go round a right angle without sticking up in the process. These cables are much easier to tuck away and tidy up. For that alone I'd say they are excellent value and a worthwhile investment.

They link at gigabit speeds, they are slim and the colours definitely help if you want to add some more traceability to your connections.Good value bundle.

I got fed up of the network cables in my internet router and hubs being too stiff, difficult to tuck away and pushing things about. Bought these and they’re so much easier to install and use. Really really flexible, super thin and performance is just as good as more expensive and thicker cat6 cables.

Personal experience is that regardless of the type of cable or the purpose it is to serve, those of 2-meter lengths seem to be the most often needed. That is no less true when using Ethernet connections.Sold as a pack, "Multi Cable SLIM FLAT 2m Cat6 RJ45 Ethernet Network Patch Lan cable - Multi Coloured "10 Pack" - 2 meter + 15 Cable ties" contains two in each of five colours, blue, red, black, grey and white plus a bonus of 15 short cable ties that could be used to bundle some together, to secure them to a piece of furniture or other hardware or some other purpose.This pack not only supports Gigabit Ethernet and the slower CAT5 standards previously used (and still used by some) but the far less often encountered 10 Gigabit Ethernet that may become more common as broadband speeds get progressively and hopefully faster. Individually, flat cables can offer other practical advantages in that they can when of suitable lengths easily be hidden beneath a rug or carpet, combine into less bulky bundles where many are used, and sometimes be run under a door when a round one would probably not.Currently, only a couple are being used alongside numerous rounded ones in lengths up to 5 metres; the remainder are spares for expected imminent use. It is possible that many of the round ones currently used will be later replaced by these or longer versions where demanded. Thus far, the very short Ethernet patch cables sometimes needed are more easily found as round rather than flat versions.ADDENDUM - having much later ordered a pack of the 50cm length, they were found to be shorter than claimed - just 40cm tip to tip!

Cable is of a good quality, seems adequately shielded for my needs despite thin design (which is a plus). Only issue is the cables measure up a little shorter than 100cm (95cm - including connector), as I was told the length should be cable only so these fall a tiny bit short. It’s not a deal breaker for me because I only needed 75cm per cable for my Ethernet setup, but if you are contemplating a tight 100cm requirement; buy the 200cm to make sure. Otherwise happily recommended!
