Interconnects - cat5e, cat5


As you're already aware, this is an inexpensive Cat5 (Cat5e) networking cable. It works flawlessly. But most importantly, it is blue. If you are looking for a green cable, look elsewhere. Same deal with a gray cable. But if blue is what you are looking for, your search is over; this is obviously the cable that will solve all your networking problems. (Or at least the ones that can be solved with a networking cable.) 25-Foot Category 5e (Cat5e) CMR Ethernet Patch Cable (Blue)

While this is a nice cable and a good price, the pictures that Amazon posts (as of 12/11/2009) clearly show the proctective, anti-snag sleeves over the clip. This cable DOES NOT have those sleeves on it.



Since this cable will be run through walls and 80% of the time, sleeveless cables must be replaced, I feel that this was a poor purchase. Amazon needs to update their images and verify them and/or the seller needs to provide the correct pictures to Amazon. In either case, I feel cheated but the cable isn't worth the hassle of returning.



As far as a Cat5e patch cable, though, it does work as expected. - Computer Cables - Cat5 - Ethernet Cables - Cat5e'
