20 Best Ethernet Cords For Gaming (2023 Updated)

The thin cable form factor is great for saving space in crowded data racks and cabinets. The RJ-45 ends are solid, providing a firm connection. Dont let the thin cabling fool you, these cables are fast and strong.

Highly recommend.

This 50 foot long ethernet port is being used to connect to a router in my room at my college apartment. So the ideal thing for a poor college student to do would be to string an ethernet cord out of the room where the original router is, around my door frame, around the perimeter of the room, and to my router (yeah a bit ghetto I know, but hey, it’s college! haha).

🙂 I’ve got to say, I was very excited that I found a 50 foot cable for only $8, but was a bit concerned that the quality would be poor because of the price, but I decided to take a gamble. I was surprised though, and very pleased.

The cable connectors have a sleeve that protects the plastic tab that locks the cord into the port; this way it won’t snap off when you pull the cord bundle out of a box of cords or something like that.

For me, that is essential because I have a lot of computer cords. Quality. I would give the quality a 4 out of 5 stars, because it does feel a bit cheap, but it does seem like it is going to be durable enough for what I am using it for.

Also, because it was only $8, I would say that the manufacture went above and beyond to create a cable that has a decent quality for the price. To wrap it up, I will list some pros and cons. Pros: -Excellent price for the quality -Works just as wellas any other ethernet cable -Comes with a sleeve that prevents the plastic locking tab from breaking Cons -The cord feels a bit cheap, but for the price this isn’t an issue.

So far, so good. SO LONG. I didn’t realize how long 100 feet would be. I live in a 1300 sq ft home and I could have gone with 50 feet. Oh well. Live and learn. Works like a champ and provides plenty of speed.

I set this up because the hubby was tired of waiting hours for COD updates to download. Now, he waits mere minutes. All I did was hook it up to my router and BAM! He’s back to plundering and yelling “I’m down, I’m down” over and over again.

?? Worth the $$.

Cat 6 Ethernet cables deliver the most consistent Internet experience. These LAN cables are very flexible and can be “woven around” door frames with ease. The outer coating is durable and doesn’t crack.

I’m very pleased. Please check out the company CMPLE. They are local to their area and have great pricing for Internet [network] accessories.

No more cat5 any more if you own anything that is of “modern” tech. I found that the cat5 head would not fit “snugly” in the ethernet port, just like anything that is not USB 3 (3. 1/3. 2?) (or whenever they made the changes from the first type of USB to.

what is it now USB 3. 1 or 3. 2) or newer; easy tell is looking at the substrate that is sticking out inside the port, it will be of a differing color. cat5 era of speed looked white (in the USB ports, from what I can tell.

), while the cat6 era of speeds look blue, and I’m sure that there are faster speeds that have a different color to their PCB if that is what I am indeed looking at, inside the port. Yeah, I just checked, I bought approx.

the same time a Roccat head set and a Razer Basilisk mouse with a 2. 4Mghz (receiver/ transponder) and the 2. 4 has a blue color to its substrate while the headset is of a white color and does not fit into the port correctly (that is it does not fit snugly, like if I were to be using my windows 7 machine).

I’m sure all of you, who might read this already know this. As for me, I had no idea. Oh, and it’s a lot faster with the more snug fit comes thicker wire and probably some more connection points. I’d have to say the same is true for the differing USB’s as well.

If I’m wrong; I do apologize, please feel free to ignore this and correct me if you would not mind. I just wish that when I bought my new machine that the sales person would have told me about the changes; or at least the manufacture could have put in a small pamphlet explaining why your old flash drives and your cat5 cables don’t fit snugly.

At least the HDMI protocol is still the same, well physically anyway.

As we all know, working from home adds a layer of performance to the home equipment that is not necessary when working from the office. Two of us were required to work from home for the remainder of last year.

My desktop, with a direct connection to an Ethernet switch and the modem always worked properly. My partner’s laptop, however, insisted on randomly shutting down off the WIFI, then going into airplane mode.

It was easy enough to me to reset the adapter, but not so easy for her to do every few hours. The solution: Hard-wire her laptop into the remaining open port in the Ethernet switch, and permanently turn off the WIFI adapter.

I bought a cable long enough to make the trip, and used CAT6 cable to assure the cable length had no adverse affect on the laptop performance. It has been 4 weeks now since the cable was installed, and the laptop has functioned perfectly.

I like when my technical solutions work as planned!.

Okay I get it. It is device that we use to connect the devices that we love, but having a good cable sometimes can be just as important as the device itself. If you are looking for a qality picture, sound or just providing the right amount of power to your devices you want a good cable or power cord to connect those devices.

Now is not the time to go cheap because you get what you pay for. For example, if you spend several hundred dollars on a good TV that provides a good picture a cheap HDMI cable is not going to cut it.

If you want good sound from you optical device again you have to pay for quality. If you want good network connections then again why be cheap LOL! The last example is a good power cord because how many products can be damaged through poor power cables.

So in conclusion do what you want but for me a quality cable is important after spending hundreds of dollars on a device.

I had to use this for my ps4 to get a better connection and now theirs a big difference in gaming. A lot smoother now. Had to use the 50ft cause my router is all the way downstairs.

So nice to get this with the 2 day shipping. Needed this for my new security camera system. Works brilliantly and was well packaged.

I bought this for my son’s computer and it works great! The extra long cable is perfect.

Electronic Geek here! I’ve used hundreds of cables at this point. And can say with certainty that not all cables are constructed equal. The first thing I should point out is the one-piece design from the cable to the connecter.

This makes for a stronger cable and connection. It will last longer because there’s nothing that can become frayed or snap altogether. A quality ethernet cable makes all the difference in constant connection.

Just from the design of this one, I know it will last a long time.

My dorm’s Wi-Fi is miserably slow without a hardwired connection, so. I finally decided to buy an ethernet cable so I could get work done. I’m really satisfied with the length, durability, and quality of the cable.

It’s exactly what I was looking for, and the difference it has made in my work has been profound.

I reviewed the 50′ Cat 6 Ethernet Cable and it seems to be a good product with one flaw. This cat 6 cable has the perfect length at 50′, which I can go all throughout my apartment. I love the jack covers that protect the punch down, But I’m leery about the plastic punch down retainer clips that always seems to fail on all other cables like this.

Time will tell if it holds up to plugging ang unplugging. Phillips makes great electrical products so this cable should perform well.

I am so Happy to have this Ethernet Cable. It is the best one that I have ever had. I watched a video and it had absolutely no buffering. Normally when I use Wi-Fi on it’s own I have that issue but not with this cable.

I browsed around on different sites no glitches of any kind. It Loads up games in a swift fashion and they don’t crash. I downloaded a game and it took some minutes because the gaming file was large.

I uploaded and sent a picture in my email and it loaded up super fast. I streamed music online and normally there would be a buffering issue but with this Ethernet Cable none at all it plays the video through without any technical difficulties.

I am so excited to have this I have been needing one for years. I do wish the cable was a little longer than 3 ft. Other than that it’s Awesome!.

This came in very handy during lock down. This long cable was very useful to have wired connecting for my TV as the Wifi has been very flaky these days. Lots of modern laptops don’t have Ethernet cable port so it isn’t useful for work.

If you are looking for long good cable for your TV, desktop this is highly recommended.

i recieved this GE Cat 5e Ethherent Cable 3ft-black. i love it. needed this really bad. comes in handle charging stuff. very durable and is long enough to reach long distance. thank you for letting me review this awesome product.

Had a 120Mbps internet connection, needed something better than Cat5e (maximum 100Mbps) but not hundreds of dollars. 5ft Cat7 does the job more than anything at an excellent price from Monoprice! Thank you will be shopping here more often for tech! Easy User interface for website and got me what I needed!.

Etherent CAT7 cable is more technologically capable and better constructed than earlier Cat 5e/6. Robust, great shielding, great performance. I’ve used this monoprice product for not only area installations of cable internet, but whole house wiring.

A fine product.

I purchased this cable to connect my Xbox One to my router to get maximum use of the internet. I have had this for several weeks now with no problems unless its a router problem. Connection and speed are great, I have used it for streaming films and playing games.

Definitely worth the money.

This cable is a standard cable for extending computer networks. The quality is good and will do the job required of it. Faster cable is more expensive and not normally needed.

A simple job to do, but a perfect product, versatile and secure. Using in a TP Link network.

I prefer this type of snagless cable end. They are easier to remove when necessary. The cables are durable and work as advertised.

Cables are well made and very useful for me. Used them for different things to connect to my ISB router. It came on the 7th sooner than the 13th that they told me. Great service! Will order again from Walmart.

Thanks!.

I had several devices to connect to ports on my wi-fi router. The longer cables were unsightly and always in the way. These 2 cables are ideal for connecting hard drives, etc.

I requested a 6 white cable and was delivered a 36 Blue cable. The package even included a printed invoice stating 6 white cable.

It’s a cable. Plug it in and it works. Nothing special.

For the price I paid for these cabled at save-central outlet ($3. 99 each), this is an unbeatable deal. Today, many routers/modems still ships with old-fashioned ‘5e’ cables. Cat6 is a major leap forward, handles Gigabit mode with ease, Paired with most any modern router, it’ll get the best speeds possible out of the network w/out interference.

Don’t pay $20 for a 25 foot roll of obsolete Cat5e cable at a B&M store, grab these and have the best connection possible for your money. These cables can be found at a very reasonable cost, like I stated above, as low as $3.

99 each. Stock up! Plus one will be futureproof for many years (or decades) to come, as 5e has been standard for years, even with premium modems/routers, so Cat6 is a generation ahead of the pack. Don’t get left behind paying $25 for this 15-20 years down the road, futureproof yourself now by purchasing what’s needed & some extras, I have a total of 12 of these, 6 in use, the others as needed, and has a warranty.

5 Star product all the way. Cat.

I was excited like most to get a nice set of cables for my network cabinet. I recently decided to test these flat cables I had bought in these past. Half of them on my network were open or had a short.

So I decided I would switch back to round cables and try a couple of CAT 8 cables on my NAS. When I tested all three cables tested open. A continuity issue. Then when I put them on my Southwire cable test or one had a shielding issue.

I think the shielding was grounded to one of the wires. Newegg is sending me replacements. If these have issues Im going to the distributors that sell to the installers. Because Im finding most cables have issues.

When my switch and wire test or are finding bad cables. What gives. Is anyone testing these cables out?.

Definitely recommend this company. I was looking all over am*z*n for a good Ethernet cord but all the reviews for cords on there seemed to say the same thing mostly: -Advertised as Cat 7 or 8 but was actually 5 or 6 -Flimsy, made in china garbage -stopped working after a while for no apparent reason However, these cords seem to be exactly what they were advertised as.

Hopefully they hold up over time. I will update if anything goes wrong.

Would recommend this product CAT8 if you are looking for a more Secure or Solid Connection without getting any interruptions or kinks in the cable But not if you are expecting a faster download speed

I was setting ups some gear and needed direct connection over a distance that was longer than most cable. Best Buy offered up the item on line and it was noted that it was at my local store. I ordered it then 3 hours later went and picked it up.

Thus, the entire transaction for this cable went without a hitch. The cable itself comes in a drab plastic type of bag. This is no frills as they likely know those who order it wont care for inviting packaging.

I would like to give this cable 4. 5 stars but it only allows whole numbers. I would have given this cable 5 stars if the rj45 connectors on the end were of a higher caliber. Overall the cable does its job and the speed of transmission is reflected by its cat 6 designation.

The cable does exactly what it needs to do, and the blue color is nice. That’s pretty straightforward, but If you still need some convincing on how much Ethernet is needed, I have some words for you.

The difference is substantial for consoles and PC. I thought the use of LAN/Ethernet was over exaggerated but it was all true. I went from 200mbps to 500mbps, which resulted in incredibly faster download speeds and streaming.

If you often play games online, please get yourself one of these. Wired connection is much more reliable than wireless and reduces latency. You’ll notice the difference immediately.

I installed this cable two days ago. First day went relatively ok, but i did not use the pc much so the cord could have had issues. I just didn’t notice. On the second day, I noticed regular drops in connection with the cord.

I checked my other cords with the same ports and vice versa. The cord routinely drops the connection. I would suggest a higher quality cord.
