Great value
I got these for my office Ethernet switch. I am impressed with the quality of the cables and their performance. The protective Soft Flex Tabs ensure that the clip will not break off. The cables are very flexible and yet sturdy/strong.I am sure that these will give me many years of performance. They are a terrific value for the price and I give them 5 stars.

These are the cables you want. These reviews are actually genuine, IMO.
I’ve been through what seems like an endless variety of patch cables from various manufacturers that all seemed like they were the same cable with a different name on it. The reason I went with these was due to the quality of the product reviews, as well as the supplier Mediabridge, as shown to me via a Fakespot.com analysis. I always run my Amazon purchases through this site first and no I have zero affiliation with them or Mediabridge. Paid the full price like everyone else. They gave the product reviews quality a B grade and the company an overall B grade on all their product’s reviews not just these cables. Those two grades are normally good but when it comes to patch cables a B grade is great considering all the misinformation and fake 5 star reviews out there.The cables themselves I am quite happy with. I have had them in service now for about four months and they are rock solid. I like the fact that they are all black, which helps with hiding them in my home lab, while still having colored ends to help identify the connections on my switch. I also like the fact that the boot is snagless but doesn’t hamper you from removing the cable. I hate the molded boots that seem to never want to come out of a dense rack. These do not do that and the overmolded boot is actually useful.TL;DR: these are the ones you want. Highly recommended.

In my experience, better than Cable Matters ethernet cables. Thanks!
These cables are working great. I was using a cheap-looking Cat 5E cable that said Cable Matters on it, which can supposedly support gigabit, but I wasn’t getting those speeds. I was only getting 100 Mbps. I switched to a Cat 6 cable from Mediabridge, and now I get gigabit. Woohoo. I won’t buy Cable Matters Ethernet cables anymore. I also like this style of locking connector better than Cable Matters.BUT I will definitely still buy Cable Catters cables in general. In fact, I bought some Cable Matters USB extensions in this same purchase, and they are great. But no more of their ethernet stuff. Sorry!

Awesome cables. Strong yet flexible, easy to plug and unplug.
I know it seems like there’s not much to say about ethernet cables; either they work or they don’t, right? But here’s why I’m thrilled with these:1) They are substantial yet very flexible. In fact, I’d say these cables have the perfect balance of strength and flexibility; then bend but they’re not flimsy.2) The connectors are fantastic: when inserted into an ethernet jack they lock in place with a satisfying “click” that makes you feel confident that they are secure.3) They are easy to unplug! By that I don’t mean that they come unplugged on their own (they don’t); I mean that they release easily when you want them to. Simply squeeze the colored grip and the cable comes out of the jack. I no longer take this for granted after purchasing cables by another manufacturer that were extremely difficult to unplug (I literally had to use pliers).This is now my go-to brand for ethernet patch cables!

Color coded and highly durable–a good choice for a nice set of patch cables
Why didn’t I buy color coded patch cables sooner? Trying to figure out what is connected to what can end up a guessing game, but these make life easier. Also, they are constructed of good quality, highly durable materials, especially at the “bend” points nearest the plug.

Love the Multi-color Snagless Boots
I really like these cables.1. The colored snagless ends with black cables. Much nicer than running multicolored cables just to be able to identify both sides. I hate putting labels on cables. Just messy. These make it easy and quick to ID and the black cables “vanish” better.2. The snagless ends are nice. Long for easy grip and release and potects the tab well.3. Cables are very flexible. I run these through wall conduit and they run smooth as silk.All in all a quality product and I’d use them again.

Good Choice for Cat 6 wiring jobs
Received on time and decently packaged. Reason bought and neat feature is COLOR coding which makes it easier to install and keep track of what cable is going where.. SAVES the step of placing tags on cord ends designating where the cord was attached. Quality of cord appears VG and ONE Star deducted for Long Term Longevity has yet to be determined (standard practice for this reviewer) AND for one of five cords may be defective. Was not getting connection with grey cord, changed out and currently not in use. This might have been a 3-1/2 Star Rating, cannot do and more Four than three trying to be fair. Will check later on another install, trying the Questionable Cable when it’s more convenient than behind the AV Equip cabinet (24″ wide and six foot tall, four shelf cabinet… combined with 24″ deep by six foot long TV table-cabinet and end table unit.. none of which are easy to move for wiring jobs; hence the question mark cable costing ONE Star even if longevity wasn’t an issue. )

I’m not getting the expected Gigabit speeds between my Router and my PC.
The Patch Cables arrived in apparent perfect condition (no visible physical damages to connectors or casing) but they weren’t inside the Mediabridge box within the Amazon shipping box (see picture). I’m guessing that they were taken out for visual inspection at Venezuelan customs and didn’t place them back). I tested all of them by connecting directly, one at a time, my PC’s Gigabit NIC (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) to one of my router’s (Netgear Nighthawk AC1750) Gigabit Ethernet ports (always the same for comparison), all of them work and all of them do it at about the same average speed (tested with LAN Speed Test Lite). However, I was expecting to get Gigabit speeds (at least between my PC and my router) but I’ve only got so far a max speed of about 497 Mbps, which is just 50% faster than what I was getting with my previous CAT 5E patch cord, but almost 50% short of Gigabit speed. Its hard for me to know if the issue is the NIC, the router or just the accuracy of the free version of the software used for testing. I’m planning to replace my home network wiring to CAT 6 (cables ordered) and I will have the patch cords tested by the professional installer with its specialized tools and, if there is any significant change, I will update this review.

They seemed like good cables but two of them have already failed
They seemed like good cables but two of them have already failed. I have one cable connecting my alarm system and one cable on a desktop computer. The alarm system was going offline multiple times a day and the desktop was only getting 40Mbps on a 500Mbps network. I replaced both cables and both issues resolved themselves instantly.I would recommend a different brand.

I didn’t even know about Cat 6 cables! It had been so long since I’d bought any, I was still on Cat 5. But here they are absolutely the transfer of data and information is smooth. Between the new modem and the new cables, I have yet to experience any buffering while streaming. I like that.

Cables look good but the specs are not printed on them
I have bought many Mediabridge products and always felt that they were of the highest caliber. These cables looked good, the box had CAT6 on the label, but the cables had no specs printed on them. I was puzzled by this departure from standard practice. I also note that the clip cover for the RJ45 plug is fairly large and makes it difficult to insert cables on top of each other, at least on my router, an Airport Extreme.
