I've always purchased cables from Monoprice. The price, quality, delivery time, etc. are always top notch. These cables allowed me to upgrade my home network to current standards, as cat 5 cables weren't cutting it any more. Now, I'm future proofed for quite a while with this new standard, and my internet speeds on a 500Mbps package are coming through just fine. All wired connections are stable, no loss in connection/packets/etc. And the grey color is nice and muted, nothing fancy. Will purchase again, should I need any more.
