StarTech.com 4ft CAT6a Ethernet Cable - 10 Gigabit Shielded Snagless RJ45 100W PoE Patch Cord - 10GbE STP Network Cable w/Strain Relief - Gray Fluke Tested/Wiring is UL Certified/TIA (C6ASPAT4GR) 4 ft / 1.3m Gray

I replaced a fake Cat 8 cable with the StarTech 6a cable. Working fine.

So, that may be great for some applications, but when you’re looking for a structured cable solution the expectation should be that the total cable length (end of termination to the opposite end of the opposite termination) is the advertised cable length. StarTech apparently starts measuring after the 8P8C termination, after the boot, after the full strain relief, and then another inch or so for good measure (pun intended). Gripe about a few extra inches (4 inches total, if we’re being pedantic) aside, cable works as required and expected… just be warned if you want your IDFs looking tidy this will need to have an extra U of run at least.

Cord is as expected. Full 10gig speeds, no problems.

Product was delivered on time or earlier. Priced better than local stores. The length allowed me to relocate the modem and router to maximize sibnal strength.

Warning: if you are purchasing different colors, The Grey and Aqua are 6 inches before the ends (they match up in total length) but the black are 6 inches from end to end (including the tips). I never purchased the blue so not sure what they are in total length
