Monoprice Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable – 0.5 Feet – Black | Network Internet Cord – RJ45

Unshielded Twisted Pairs (UTP).

Top Positive Review

Overall this cable is alright for the money. It gives me 1gbps which is standard but you may need to modify the cable like I had. The boot was too big for my computer and was pushing against the IO shield, so I cut a bit of it off and it fits perfectly then. The actual clip that holds the cable into the computer also seems a bit shorter compared to the rest of my cables and required me to used a pen to disengage the clip to remove it from my computer
TLDR:
Pros: decent cable for the money with a modification for further compatibility.
Cons: Plastic clip shorter than usual, resulting in difficulty removing cable if boot is removed/shortened.

Top Critical Review

I had an idea that perhaps my Ethernet box with approx 15 cat5e cables attached to a router would look neater if I switched to compact flat cables. The result was the opposite. Flat cables cannot be bundled / zipped tied (neatly) and the 15 flat cables look like a nest of black plastic floppy fettuccine noodles. Flat cables may not always result in an intended professional look, especially in an enclosed space.

Will this cable work outdoors?
Answer: This is not an outdoor rated cable and this is why we do not recommend using this cable outdoors. It can crack from too much UV light and then water may make contact with the cable. I would recommend looking for outdoor rated or burial cables.
