Deceptive Offer - Not Belkin Product
(1 out of 5) by E. CLAIBORNE on Aug 3, 2008 (Orlando, FL USA)I purchased these patch cables with the understanding these were FACTORY TERMINATED patch cables from Belkin. The ad picture even shows a picture of a REAL Belkin cable, with factory terminated RJ45's.
What I received was some Belkin cable with a HAND TERMINATED RJ45! If I wanted this, I could have made myself. I don't believe just because Belkin cable is used, this can be called a "Belkin Patch Cable".
The cost was cheap and I need the cables yesterday, so I had to use them. Not worth the effort and time to return. So far, no problems, but I won't buy these again and recommend others don't. But I worry about the cables being used in production. It's an unnecessary risk that will surely cause a service call later.

Not the product that is pictured
(1 out of 5) by Jeride Sinen on Jan 1, 2009This is not a booted cable as is pictured. This is just a cable with hand-crimped ends.

The Cable is NOT as Advertised!
(1 out of 5) by D. Pastovich on Nov 22, 2008 (Charlotte NC)It is manually terminated with Cat 5E Belkin cable, nothing more!
I would not recommend this purchase because of the quality and integrity of the cable.
The picture of the cable is not what I got from Amazon!

I also received hand-terminated cable
(4 out of 5) by Lara J. Ladieu on Dec 9, 2008My patch cable came in a small plastic bag, and is also hand-terminated. The picture for this item is somewhat deceptive, as there are no rubber grips, it uses just standard RJ45 connectors.
However, the cable functions properly, and appears to have been terminated by someone who knows how to do it (it looks much better than cables I've terminated myself).
Overall, it was cheap and it works - being hand-terminated is not a problem for me, although it should be stated somewhere on this page that they are hand-terminated.

Belkin, great name, product does its job
(5 out of 5) by Simon D. Larano on Mar 15, 2008 (USA)This ethernet cable does its job. Dependent on Amazon's current pricing, this short 10ft cable can be a real good deal for someone looking for an extra cable. And you can't go wrong with the Belkin name.
