This cable worked out well for me and is a very heavy-duty cable. I was having trouble with wifi on a new Mac Mini and decided to wire it directly to the router. I don't know why, but the Mini just wasn't getting good wifi even though it sits next to the router, but I still needed the router for my laptop and other misc stuff like a blu ray player, so I just used an extra ethernet port in the router and wired the Mini directly--it solved the problem (if you do this, be sure to tell the item that you are hardwiring to shut off the wireless).Works great, nice to solve a problem so cheaply and easily.

I have to give Belkin credit; the cable really does appear snagless. I used this short cable to connect an Apple TV directly to router. I try to avoid wireless when I can, but this cable had to fight for space among a clutter of cables through a small access panel in the back of the entertainment center. The texture of the cable's insulation, coupled with the cable's supple flexibility, made it easy to snake the cord through the tangled mess.The connection is solid and secure, and the locking tab on the connector has a shield to help prevent accidental disconnections. I have had no troubles with the quality of the connection, and the Apple TV transmits a high-definition signal every time.At this price, the cable is a bargain. For some reason, I've seen CAT 5 cable of this length sell for more than $25.00 in brick-and-mortar stores (and one time I had to pay the extortionate price because I was in a pinch).You can purchase this cable secure in the knowledge that you're going to get a quality product.

I ordered a longer version of this exact cable last year to connect my cable modem to my desktop computer. I was so impressed with the make and quality of it that when I bought a Valet router, I decided the cat 5 cable supplied with it was not up to the standard I expected. I bought the 3 foot one to connect my router to the modem. I really wasn't expecting much as far as improved performance, but I am keeping a full wifi signal on my phone now, while previously only having 2 of 3 bars showing up. Could be the shorter cord, could be better quality, I'm not really one to say since I'm no pro with these things, but it has improved my router's signal. One piece of advice, if you're using more than one get a different color. I wasn't thinking and prefer the blue cord, so I ended up with two blue cords that are going to the same product. Since I do occasionally plug my modem directly into the PC instead of through the router, I ended up having to color a black mark on the one cord so I know which is which. The snagless feature on these works really well and was the biggest concern I had with the cable that came with the router since I could already see the clip starting to wear from unplugging it and plugging. Wouldn't usually write a review for a cord, but this one has enough going for it that I think it deserves all the praise it can get.

Needed a short cord to reduce clutter between my router and a switch. Wanted a reliable brand name (Belkin) cord with quality connectors. This one looks well built. Only shortcoming is that it is cat 5e (350 speed) vs cat 6 (500 speed). Didn't see a 3 foot one in Cat 6 but the price for the Cat 5e was very fair.

Most of the review is copied and pasted from another review I did for a Belkin ethernet cable, this one being used in the same manner. This shorter one was exactly what I needed for the space in which it is being used.I don't know what else to really say about this, or any of the MANY Belkin cables I have bought from Amazon, except that they work very well for my requirements. This specific one is being used in my home theater system to connect a component to a switch box. It did not need to be pulled through any walls or stressed in any other way, but it's been fine for my use of it. Some people think they are not the best of quality but I have not ever had any go "bad" or break or not fit correctly. You *can* get cables even cheaper than these from Belkin, but I don't trust them... the Belkin cables here on Amazon are still FAR cheaper than what I have seen in stores, and I refuse to let instant gratification make me spend too much for something like this!

This cord is priced great and is of great quality; something that can be pretty much assured when your buying a Belkin product. I was looking for CAT 5e cables to replace my older cables and decided based on the reviews on Amazon and the price that this would be a great purchase. I don't regret it. The cable is of good quality and the cables-as advertised-are completely snagless; so much so, that it'll take you a couple seconds longer to unplug the cord from whatever peripheral or computer it's hooked into. This was actually frustrating for me when I was troubleshooting my router, but then became a plus when I realized how easily the other cable would come undone with just moderate tension on the cord. So, the snagless is great if you plan on leaving it hooked into one device for any extended length of time, but not so great if you plan on constantly hooking and unhooking it from your device (in this case, it's probably more convenient to get a "snagging" one. Otherwise known as...a regular RJ45 cable). I can imagine someone with a laptop using a wired internet connection fussing over this feature. Oh yeah, the length of this cord is a beautiful thing. I got so tired of having all this excess cord hanging out the back of my devices that I was thrilled when I discovered this on Amazon. I had no idea they made the lengths of the cord this short, so, that was actually the deciding factor for me. I'm happy with this purchase.
