5 Stars
Good quality cables with anti snag and a nice shade of blue.
I'm currently using these cables connected to a Linksys SE4008 switch and it works perfectly and the blue matches well with the switch's blue and black colour scheme.The cables are not the flat kind, but it's not much of an issue for me and the anti-snag can be very useful when routing the cables though a jungle of wires. When you plug in the cables, they make an audible click to tell you that it is plugged in nicely.Overall, it's a valuable set of cables at a good price. I might actually get more of these in the various other colours offered.
Thank you for your feedback
