> 24 hourThis is rugged cable. I expect that it will last a while in live-sound use as an analog snake. I will test it with my Behringer X32 the next time I have it out, but as Cat6 it does not meet the Behringer technical spec, which is Cat5e. Electrically, Cat6 and Cat5e are electrically different. There are known problems with not using the correct cable with the X32 products, including static zap failure of the interface, which is not covered by warranty (they now have a tag over the jack on new gear stating that use of the wrong cable can cause damage). The cable is fully grounded - end to end. I tested it. The Shell is grounded as well but has paint (or is it black anodized?) on it, so contact may be an issue. The latch clip cut-out is not painted, so it may make sufficient contact. The connector is a decent Neutric clone. Strain relief is good and internal grounding is well made.

> 24 hourThis 10 Heavy duty cat6 ethernet cable is very well made and provides protective ends for your network connection. Great for in those areas you want your connections protected and the cabling to be able to give you the best data signal possible. A great product for how its made! Enjoy!

> 24 hourOrdered this to be used with the GearIt DMX/XLR extender and it works flawlessly. The cable is quite sturdy and the connectors are both perfect with easy connections. I have full confidence in this product.

> 24 hourThis is supremely well made. If feels very solid and very well made. Note that the ends of each cable have a non-removable metal cylinder around them. So this isnt a cable you can stick on the back of your modem or TV. This cable is meant specifically for Ethercon connections.

> 24 hourThis ethernet cable works great for keeping my internet speed quick on my computer. It was easy to connect, and the cord length was perfect for my office area. The cord is also on the thicker side to keep it from getting worn out over time.

> 24 hourThe GearIT CAT6 Ethernet Cable, EtherCON-Compatible RJ45 Connectors for Pro Audio, Aluminum Shielded, Oxygen Free Copper - 10 ft. - Black This a cable for carrying audio over ethernet for audio patch boxes etc. that are EtherCon compatible (audio over ethernet). With the correct equipment you can carry 4 channels of audio over Ethernet Cat6 cables. This cable is very well made and very robust. The cable core is a very heavy gage. and has serviceable metal ends. The connectors of EtherCon look like an XLR with an ethernet connection inside, instead of three pins. This gives a very robust connection for compatible floor boxes etc. Audio over Ethernet is a huge leap forward and a great way to run 4 channel audio over a distance. These cables are top notch, and work exactly as they should. This is absolutely an all pro cable. I find etherCon very exciting and have 2 sets of floor boxes I use regularly with this cable. perfect for studio or stage. Great for bands, studios, and DJays. I am very grateful to have these cables in my studio.

> 24 hourI got this because I wanted to hook something up that took an etherCON type of cable like this. The cable is nice and I tried to look over it without taking the ends off which showed me that this is a well made cable in general. Just know that this is not something that you can pop the ends off of and get good results using it as an ethernet cable. It would probably work for a bit, but those ends are a part of the whole design and Ive taken them off of another cable which didnt work out for me and wasted my money. All in all Id say if you need this kind of cable, you wont go wrong with this companys products. This is the second time Ive used one of their cables, and I have to say that I always know that Im going to be happy with the quality when I come across their stuff.

> 24 hourI have several GearIT cables and they have all be good quality - this one is no exception. The cable is very heavy with a good sheathing on it. The connector hoods are aluminum and the RJ45 itself is shielded. Understand these are EtherCON connectors for pro-audio applications. They arent intended for typical ethernet runs, although you can use them for that with some adjustments. The hoods are removable in this case, but they arent really intended and are probably overkill for home use.

> 24 hourThis cable is thick and will be very durable. It took me a bit to figure out how to get the ends out of the shield, but twisting the metal protection and then pulling on it allows the connector to be used. I have a 1 GB speeed connection, and this cable got 911.76 Mbps download speed. My regular Cat 5 cable that I was using before this would never get past 850 Mbps. I was not really looking to increase my speeds. I just wanted something a little more heavy duty as my old Cat 5 cable I was always worried about it getting pinched or someone accidentally putting something on top of it. This cable can withstand a lot more than other cables due to its thickness. I find it to be a very good quality.

> 24 hourThis CAT6 ethernet cable from GearIT is no joke. It is very robust with plenty of shielding, oxygen-free copper wiring and a thick outer jacket. It has many uses. The aluminum EtherCON connectors can be removed and plugged into any ethernet port, but it is best utilized with other GearIT DMX equipment with EtherCON ports. This cable is not cheap, but it is a good example of you get what you pay for.
