Good ethernet cable and it's flat
I put this in place as the router was in a different room. It's discreet enough that you are not going to notice it if you run it along the skirting board. As for the cable itself, it sends packets to and from the router and my computer without any issue. Highly recommend.

Does the job
I was having trouble with wifi connection to Sky Glass tv. This Ethernet cable resolved issue. It’s flat design enabled me to feed out velux window in upstairs study (where router is sited) down through patio door to living room where tv is located. Works perfectly.

It is good so far

Good cable - but have a question.
I like this cable a lot. Much thinner than what I’ve seen in the past. Be very careful with it! If you trap it in a door frame, chances are, it will rip. Very fragile but also very low profile. Can confirm it reaches close to gbps speeds. Have 900mbps fibre and get speeds of around 870mbps to my computer through this wire. Wish it stated the Mhz this cable is capable of running at. Anyone got any answers to this?

Works perfectly
Works perfectly. Very good value for money.Had to buy a cable so get a stable connection for my ps4 as it is in a different room than the router which sits on the other side of the flat. No issues at all

High speed internet
Good quality cable, being flat was an advantage as I could route it discretely under flooring and skirting board. Now have fast internet to the one room in my house that didn't get any signal over WIFI - getting a solid 800mbps now.

Technically not a CAT6, although performance wise it is difficult to check.
In the pictures, the cable being reviewed is on the left.So first thing's first, credit where it's due. This is a fully copper cable, which is significantly better than copper clad aluminium (CCA) cabling that is rampart. In the first picture, you can see that the conductors in the reference cable on the right have a silver shine to them, denoting the presence of aluminium, while this cable (on the left) does not.However, we can also notice that the diameter of the wires and the insulation for them in this cable is absolutely tiny. In the second picture, I have a (fully copper) CAT5e cable whose wires are "normal" diameter for long cables of 24 AWG (american wire gauge, lower means larger diameter, excluding any insulation). In the first picture, the cable on the right is 27 AWG "CAT6" cable (since it's CCA it doesn't quite make the standard) but basically performed to spec when I managed to test it a while ago, as it is only 10m long. We can also see for the right cable that the insulation is thick and uses the correct CAT6 RJ45 connector, where the wires are staggered. The reviewed wire uses a straight connector, which is not rated for CAT6, meaning the whole cable cannot be considered CAT6. It also has barely any insulation, so there may be issues with interference. This has probably been done to get the profile of the cable to be small, and for good reason. I am buying this cable for its thinness, after all.But, does it perform to a CAT6 spec even though technically it isn't a CAT6? I can't be sure, but I am hesitant to say so. I only have access to testing to a CAT5e standard at the moment, and it does perform well up to 1Gbps/1000BASE-T. Since a fully to spec CAT6 24 AWG cable with the right connectors can carry 10Gbps/10GBASE-T for only 55 meters, I am somewhat doubtful that this cable can for 20. If it was 5 meters, probably yes. Does that actually matter? Most likely not for anyone buying this. It certainly doesn't to me at the moment. The vast, vast majority of home router and PC Ethernet adapters have a maximum speed of 1Gbps anyway. Will this matter in 10 years if you're installing the cable underneath thresholds and floorboards? Perhaps.

Delivery was very quick
Need an air connection for extra bedroom between the backyard it was perfect
