I bought this ethernet cable to connect my internet modem and router for my computer which are always either side by side or one laying on top of the other. One of the plastic clips broke on one end and naturally it wouldn't stay in. The one I had was a regular Cat 5 or Cat 5e that was not clip snag free and was 3 ft long which was way too long for two boxes next to each and it was always getting tangled with the other modem, router, and computer wires. I decided to get as small an ethernet cable as I could get this time, and was glad to find 1 ft ones here on Amazon. I was not looking to buy a Cat 6 (way overkill for use) or a snag free one (major pain to pull out), but this one was the best value of the 1 ft ethernet cables at the time of this review. I was additionally hesitant none the less on getting this, because the most recent review below me said he didn't get the actual product in the picture from the seller. Well the one I got looks exactly like the picture. It also as a bonus is a snag free end ethernet cable (which is not in the product title or description) which usually costs more. It also is not one of the major pain to get out snag free ethernet cables I hate. The plastic tab to prevent the plactic clip from getting snagged and snapped is actually soft and flexible enough to still be able to depress the plastic clip to release the ethernet cable. The product works great and notice an improvement in the devices. Product came quick from seller.
