Do not waste your money on this
I bought the 66 ft to replace a c5e from my U-verse box to my router. Running through old plaster walls and a ceiling hooked it up and had a much slower internet connection than before.And after cutting into the wire you can see why. That's a Cat5e #24 wire on the left. It would take four or five of this wire together to equal the diameter of that wire .I should have paid more attention to where two different times in their ad they say something about hooking up to such-and-such for higher speeds. Also I don't see anywhere they list the wire size.In fact someone asks, and is only answered by someone who assumes 23 or 24 which I too would have assumed because a Cat6 wire is typically 23 gauge. And I know category has something to do with the amount of windings per in. not wire size but this wire is entirely too small to use for an internet connection. Using this wire for U-verse basically creates a huge fusible link with a bunch of impedance. Wasted money wasted time don't do what I did

Good cable, good buy
Great cable for the money. I cut one open, and was impressed. All conductors are individually shielded with aluminum foil, and embedded in polymer insulation material, which isolates, supports, and protects the thin strands of conductor wire and the shield they're wrapped in, and then they're securely attached to the RJ45 connector. Then the entire cable is wrapped in woven nylon, which provides excellent protection from the environment and helps with handling the cable during install. This a quality cable for a very good price.The only negative is that due to materials and the way this cable is made at the factory, it's very difficult to splice, or to replace the RJ45 connectors. Pretty much have to use it as-is, and not try to cut it to the exact length of you run. If it's a little long just loop the excess, and if you damage a connector, then you'll need to be very careful replacing it, or just run a new cable. Considering the very low price of this cable, it's actually more cost effective to replace it, because replacing a connector also impacts the physical and electrical integrity of the entire cable (again, unless you are very careful), and that will impact future performance of the cable..

Best cable on the market
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Suffice it to say that I needed a stupid long Ethernet cord to make it to my PC. I ran this thing up walls, across the ceiling, down walls, up walls, around doors, up door frames and to my PC. The cable quality is amazing, great speeds. I love the cable molds to wherever you bend it which is extremely nice. I will buy this again for my next Ethernet cable need

Slower performance than my old cat 5e cables.
I ordered two of these cables to improve my internet speeds to my PlayStation and router. after speed tests these cables were actually slightly slower than my cat 5e cables I replaced them with. I didn't really think anything of it , maybe I was just having a slow internet day or something. I tried again a week later with the same results. I lost about 20 mbs on download and about 2 mbs on upload on average. I continued using the cables and kept having lag issues on hulu or "lan cable not detected " on my ps4. I even replaced my ps4 with a ps4 pro (just because) and still received the issues. I replaced these so called "cat 7" cables with cat 6 cables from a company with a non-Chinese derived name and I now have faster internet speeds and no more error messages. My advice- buy internet cables from a company with a name that is reputable and avoid the cat 7 cables. None of the major network cable companies are really making cat 7 on a mass scale so I don't think the technology is really there yet for consumers. Seems like "cat 7" is just marketing.

Solid
- Consider this a TRUE 4 star rating because it meets expectations. 5 stars (in my opinion) is for a product or seller that greatly exceeds expectations, but that's not how buyers review things on Amazon. Cable is thicker than expected, stiffer too. The cloth exterior takes a bit getting used to because the cable doesn't slide as expected when pulled - neither good or bad, it just is. I have no idea how it performs as a Cat 7 cable, it works as an ethernet cord.- Fast delivery with Prime. Ordered Sunday afternoon, delivered the next morning.

Dan, Yee cables are awesome
I have been building and using computers and computer networks for over fifty years ( I have completed 71 Orbits around the Sun! ) Dan Yee's Cat7 cables are the best I have ever used. You can build your network for now with Cat6 or you can build for the Future with Cat7. The important thing to remember about Dan Yee cables is they are measured in Meters not feet. A ten meter cable is 33ft long. Build for the FUTURE.

A lot to say about not much.
Not much can be said about it. The performance is as expected. Just to note, you need a system capable of providing those speeds to take advantage of this cables full capability; don't expect it to just simply make your system godly fast (although it will still provide a minor boost to even nonrated lines). The headers are nice (a semi-circle half quarter clip). The braiding is not a circle but a rectangle; which is a good option for narrow space cable management.

Required length
I don't want to malign whoever did the wiring in this house but the ethernet hook-up is at floor level on a wall that has to be accessed by laying on the floor and reaching through built-in shelving. lt wouIdn't be a big deal if it wasn't approximately 36" deep. I had to replace my router a few weeks ago and the cable that it came with was only about two feet in length. I wanted the router on a higher shelf so I ordered this. It arrived yesterday and I just got through hooking it up. I am now able to place the router out of harm's way. This also came with a small velcro strap which will enable me to wrap some of the wiring into a bundle for a neater appearance.

Great Cables
These appear to be very good quality cables. Great speed transfer, and high quality finish. Works flawlessly. The flat cable/braiding is actually a little stiff, which means the cables tend to keep the shape in which you bend / manipulate them (which can actually help when installing). Would recommend.

Great well made cable
A durable hard wearing cable. My pc wasn't connecting to router very well esp during conference calls. This cable solved it straight away. I chose the 3 metre one so I had no issues wuth positioning the pc. Does what it suppose to do.

Excellent Cable
I used this product to connect my PS4 directly to my Virgin Hub 3 from living room to conservatory.Excellent cable, very well made, sturdy, but not too hard to stop you feeding it round corners etc.No speed loss or anything, would definitely buy another one.
