Solid cable [Posted on 2000-08-14]
This is a great cable if you're on a college campus and need an ethernet cable. Great for T3 dorm connections. Have never had any problems with the connectors breaking or becoming damaged even under stressed conditions (the cable being pulled to one side very tightly) Get this if you need to set up a network.

No Problems [Posted on 2000-10-02]
This is good quality cable with top-end connectors that is worth the extra cost. Poor contacts on the outlet end of my LAN station caused lots of problems (slow-downs and stops), all of which have been remedied since switching to the Monster Cable.

Why pay more? [Posted on 2000-11-05]
You can save some money and buy generic CAT5 and get the same results. Monster Cable is excellent for connecting high quality speakers to high quality hi-fi equipment but this is a bit overkill. It will work but is it really worth it?

I can't give it less than 3 [Posted on 2001-03-03]
Does this cable work... Yes. Does it work well... Yes. But, it's pointless. You will get the same speed out of a cheaper cable. Plus, you are likely plugging this into a wall where it will travel another 50 feet on normal cable. Regardless, it is just pointless. Unless you have money to burn don't buy it. If you want real speed, spend some real money and upgrade to 1Gbps hubs (still pointless for most users anyway).

The Best of the Best....Period [Posted on 2002-12-28]
Alright, let's start off simple:
These are Monster's brand of ethernet cables; they include XLN to minimize static and improve speed. Now, for many, you may not know what XLN does, but If you're a PS2 owner like me and you have your Network Adapter's internet connection running behind the TV, you knotice that it connects slow than it should. XLN stops this by sheilding the wiring from the static. My connection speed went from 456k to 640k because of this.

Need more proof that I'm not BSing? Take a pair of headphones, put them in your ears, then rub the cord against a statically charged object.

Get these in tandem with the Monster RJ11 phone cables. You won't regret it.
