It's a fine, serviceable cable that was priced well, available in the right length for my need and in several colors (which is probably of value to someone using multiple cables.)
Ordered 20 of these, all 20 tested very well for wiring order and resistances and Impedance matching.
Testing was done on a ByteBrothers Low Voltage Pro Model 3.
Impedance difference across pairs was usually about 1-2 ohms with 3 of the cables showing a 4-5 ohm difference. Certainly well within acceptable ranges.
I will be certainly buying from Monoprice again for my cable needs! :)
PROS: Gigabit capable.
Great price.
Get to choose colors.
CONS: 2-3 of the cables I ordered are a little picky about being unplugged, have to squeeze the latch harder than normal. But as i rarely unplug my cables to move the devices I use, and rather that they are DEFINITELY plugged in, it is much less of a con for me. And I'm sure a quick light stroke of a small file would remedy this in a few seconds if it bugged someone that much.
