What can I say it's a cat6 basic ethernet cable that's three meters long, It's black, it works,
The reason why I ordered it for was simple,
I have a Playstation 3 super slim and getting it working with a Virgin Media Hub5 on WiFi 2.4ghz was a problem because it wasn't being detected , Going into the hub5 ip settings on my phone meant I had to lower the security encryption settings on the 2.4ghz band and changing the automatically channels to be turned off, Then the PS3 picked up the wifi signal however even though I have Virgin Gig1, 2.4ghz on the ps3 is very 2007 with poor speeds couldn't get anything faster than 12mbs,
I bought this 3 meter ethernet cat6 cable just for the ps3 super slim, By plugging it into a Virgin WiFi pod extender ethernet port I was able to bring that internet speeds up to 28mb download speeds,
Why do all this?,
Because Metal Gear Solid 4 is only on playstation 3,
( Was able to download the game 27gb but that took 3 hours then took 1 hour and 19 minutes to install)
For the actual ethernet cable,
I paid £3.28 for a 3 meter ethernet it's great value,
It does actually work on pc at cat6 speeds,
Tested it on my pc directly to the Virgin hub 5 and got 1380mb down and 100mb up,
Just don't expect miracles,
You can't use this as an outside ethernet cable but what you expect for less than £4... it's not weather resistant or even water resistant,
If you just need a patch for a NAS or to get a PS3 online to download a game from 2008 that will not come to PS5 anytime soon,
You can't go wrong for £3.29,
