Hi, I exchanged my previous misplaced with Cat5 and Cat5e network with these lines completely and am thrilled. I had a posted speed of 5500kBs in my Fritz box. At the computer, after a few meters line, the Downstream from 2500 to 4800 and the Upstream was increased from 420 to 535 (measured with SpeedCheck). Lines fit easily into the network outlets and the Swich what many competing not always the case, since the outer jacket disturbing. Not here. The lengths are exactly so that I could all too embarrassed tidy condition and bundles. By Complementary services shielding the lines are a little stiffer than Cat 5 Series, but then remain in the once bent position. Avoid sharp bend because otherwise the shield breaks. It should be maintained at least a radius of 5 cm but this is normal with network cables. Good quality for good reason Preiss 5 stars for value.
