Leanne Larrabee: Works Great!

defektes: I have another Media bridge Cat5 cable that is 100ft, I needed another that was shorter and I was happy with the 100ft cable so I decided to stay with the same brand. I am using this cable to connect mu Wii to my router for a wired in internet connection. It is accomplishing this goal quite well, as I am having no connectivity issues.

I choose Mediabridge for my cable needs now, cost and quality cannot be beat.

Like my 100ft cable, my only complaint is the locking clip cover is a little large and can get in the way sometimes but is easily moved out the way or dealt with. Does not effect function at all.

brainout: I bought several of these, each in different colors. The long blue 25-footer, I got for my most remote computer, because I won't use wireless and I won't network. This red one, I got for a computer in the next room. I also got the beige, black, and yellow ones. Each color references its size. Handy way to organize.

MORE: Since XFINITY only allows one box, I have to disconnect and reconnect the Ethernet cable per computer. It's no big deal, like turning on a lightswitch, because I placed the modem box Comcast provides, centrally. So the only issue was to get different lengths and colors of cords.

So, each machine has its own 'color' cable plugged into its back, and then five or six computers all have their cords 'string' to the modem box. So I just lift the modem box when putting a given computer online, unplug one cable to the other computer(s), and plug in the one I want to use. Simpler than going offline via computer commands. Sometimes low-tech is better. :)

It's kinda handy too, because when rendering a video or doing backup, I don't want to be online with that machine, and it's a hassle to click and manipulate My Network to turn it off. Better to just...

J_Onyx: Don't over pay for Ethernet (or HDMI). Many people do. Don't get too cheap. Many people do this too. Dollar store Ethernet Cables will not work well.

I bought two of these 15' Mediabridge cables. They are solid, good cables for an unbeatable price. I use both Ethernet and Wireless in my home. I find that no matter what router you buy, a $18 TP-Link or a far more expensive Linksys, Netgear or D-Link, wireless is security risky (unless your network is located in a rural area) & it is unreliable in urban settings. There is just too much interference. Speeds vary different times of the day and different days of the week. Disconnect will happen. With the ever growing supply of free software that simplifies cracking Network security measures, no matter what you do your network will be penetrated, people will connect and use your Internet which will slow you down. I simply do not have these problems using Ethernet. Important Internet use I do only on an Ethernet connected computer.

I use long cables. Two 15' and two 75 foot. Replacing a 75' cable in a house is work, unless you simply throw it down and make people negotiate a cord all the time. I demand quality cable for...

John R. Leonard: No self-respecting geek should be without some spare network cables. However, when I found myself in need of a few Ethernet cables I looked in places like Radio Shack to see what I could find. Basically "The Shack" wanted to charge something like $20 for a single 12 foot or so cord. It seemed to me like you ought to be able to pick up a bag of 5 or 6 medium length cables for that amount. These things have become fairly basic and universal, like power cords, but retailers still charge premium prices for them. One alternative is to get a 1000ft roll and crimp your own cables to suit. I haven't done this yet but it remains an option. Instead I visited Amazon and found I could get 9 of these 15 ft. cables (@ $2.99 ea.) for 26.91, shipped. They arrived in a few days and since then I've had the opportunity to try a few and they all worked fine. So, all I can say is, I would recommend this vendor and this product.
