I purchased these patch cables with the understanding these were FACTORY TERMINATED patch cables from Belkin. The ad picture even shows a picture of a REAL Belkin cable, with factory terminated RJ45's.

What I received was some Belkin cable with a HAND TERMINATED RJ45! If I wanted this, I could have made myself. I don't believe just because Belkin cable is used, this can be called a "Belkin Patch Cable".

The cost was cheap and I need the cables yesterday, so I had to use them. Not worth the effort and time to return. So far, no problems, but I won't buy these again and recommend others don't. But I worry about the cables being used in production. It's an unnecessary risk that will surely cause a service call later.

It bears repeating. HDMI cables pass a digital signal, in other words 1's and 0's or on and off pulses. Like HD TV you either have a perfect signal or none at all.

Buy the cheapest cable you can find.

There's not much to say about a cable. Either it works or it doesn't. But here's the important thing: this Belkin cable works just as well as identical cables priced five times higher at my local office supply store. I'm very pleased with my purchase and consider it a great value.

What can I say? I does what it's supposed to do. No problems and good price.

I wanted to expand my ethernet network to include a second computer in a remote office. With only one cable going to this location I needed a switch and two more cables.

These cables have a very low price, and the length assured me the needed flexibility in locating the equipment in the room. I installed the switch, attached the computers with two of these cables and was back in business.

The cables are doing a great job and everything is working as it should.
