Home > Consumer Reviews > Linksys UTP525 Network Cable, Cat 5, 25 Feet

PC Magazine rated manufacturs suppling components for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) systems, including LANs (Local Area Networks) and Internet Cable/DSL Modem access. Linksys was rated highest (with 2 others) for customer satisfaction, noting that while technecal assistence was rated favorably, the technecal rep's interest would wain once he/she established that the Linksys component was not the malfuncting component. After calling several local electrical suppliers and on-line retailers, I realized that I could not make an Ethernet RJ45 cable as inexpensively as Linksys put out the 25ft UTP550 Cat5+ cable. Accordingly, I bought all Linksys components in the event that I needed to call customer service. I never did.

I was thinking about getting wireless router, but upon hearing all the stories of the signal dropping here and there, I decided to simply get a longer cable to use my laptop in my bedroom...less expensive than having to buy another router. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
