Warcom's NEW networking cables stand out from the rest of the networking cables. Ethernet networks are the most common type of networks in existence today. Most of them currently run over twisted pair (UTP) cable. In this network, cross connections between walls and computers, patch panels and equipment, or between two pieces of equipment use patch cables. This Seltec cable is designed to go between a computer and the wall or between a patch panel and a piece of equipment. This patch cable is compliant with EIA/TIA 568 B.2 standard at an Enhanced Category 5 Level (commonly called Cat 5e). Cat 5e will support the following speed and protocols: 10 Megabit per second Ethernet (10Base-T), 100 Megabit per second fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) and 1 Gigabit per second gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T).

NB: Certain cable combinations may include a shipping charge. If this does occur, please simply note "Ozbargain" in the customer comments section during your checkout and the shipping cost will be removed prior to processing the order. Thanks

      Thanks for that.

      Not sure on the quality of their cables but our cables are really good. If you've got time for a bit of a read, please see this article:

        Do your cables stay twisted out of shape? I hate that , I need one for my ma's house as she doesn't have wifi cable and the annoying cat i bought is all twisted , it errks me bad lol

      MSY's so called CAT-6 cables are not standard compliant. My friend bought one, the cable is stamped "CAT-6E", it is half the thickness of a normal one, and soft and limp. IIRC, it could not achieve a gigabit connection.

      •  
        zzzzbest on 23/01/2012 - 16:03

        Indeed they are garbage. They skimp on the copper and when i sliced the insulation open they did not have enough twists in it. Did not do gigabit at all

        •  
          samfisher5986 on 23/01/2012 - 20:48

          The majority of short cables will do gigabit regardless of quality.

          I do agree that I wouldn't expect long MSY cables to work very well on gigabit.

        i use msy cables and they work fine for my gigabit network.

          Neg on your comment for technology fail. Just because the interface negotiated 1000fdx doesn't mean you're getting 1000Mbps. Just means the interface detected 4 pairs.

          You need to borrow a proper cable tester (e.g. Fluke meter or similar) to measure noise, crosstalk, error rates, etc.

          i don't need any fancy test equipment to know if my cables are working ok, i can see it in my transfer speeds.

          besides, for short cables like these there will be negligible speed differences for any sort of cable.

      I would take the $2.50 delivered than the $2 cable after driving to MSY and waiting a looong time to be served only to find out….NIL stock.

        Wireless is a very poor-performing alternative to a proper wired connection.

          true. wireless for convenience, wired for stability and speed.

    Just ordered two, made the note "ozbargain free shipping" on the order as delivery was listed as $14.95, and paid $5 via direct deposit. White and purple should save confusion over cable ownership at lans in the future :D thanks!

    Regardless of what valid technical knowledge or advice anyone saids on this forum, I'm just going to state, that colours make a difference with cat5 cables.

    Red cables are the fastest.

      Ever used a red cable with speed holes? Epic.

        warcom on 23/01/2012 - 21:12

        Wouldn't there be packet loss? :)

        •  
          Third_Gear on 23/01/2012 - 21:20

          Nup - the data transfers so quickly through the cable it goes right on past the holes.

          watwatwat on 23/01/2012 - 21:27

          I am assuming that the more cable there is, the further the data has to travel. Thus cutting speed holes into the cable reduces the size of the path between point A and B to make tranfers faster? That's science.

      Afterall you'd think, some of that red ferrari speeds should run off on the data eh?

    Don't think I need any but since it ends Friday, what are the stock levels like? Enough so that if I decide in a couple of days?

    I <3 warcom but i bought a bunch of 10m cables from ebay for like $2 each with free shipping, if you can handle a wait they are dirt cheap from HK.

    •  
      warcom on 24/01/2012 - 18:40

      Those cables are probably made with nasty copper, which will result in slower transfer speeds throughout your network.
