can't say much other than that they do as advertised. no influence on speeds as far as i can tell, and there's no conceivable loss in performance.
i'm sharing in a closed area network and have a network switch that runs the showx, so these guys were a good price for a good length of cable.

Our internet is weak where we live and this really helps with connectivity!

Update:
In all fairness to CableMatters, the problem experienced in the original post turned out to coinciedentally be an issue in both devices on each end of the connection. On the switch side, the SPF+ ports were malfunctioning due to something in the switch device requiring a hardware reset. This switch-side condition was not immediately obvious, but became so after the original post was written. Once the switch was reset, the client side link came on.
So in the end...all good with the cables. CableMatters will continue to be my go-to for wiring needs.
Original Post:
I will start with saying CableMatters is usually my go-to for cabling. I am having a bit of a problem with this one though - specifically, on a 10Gbe link. I have a 15ft Cat6a cable working fine between the device and the 10Gbe switch. When I swap the 6a cable out for this 3 ft Cat6 cable, I get no link. That includes rebooting both the device and the switch. I have 10Gbe RJ45 at the device side, and 10Gbe SFP+ transceiver at the switch. Again, with the Cat6a cable I have no problems. Swap just the cable for this Cat6 and I get no link.
Next, I try the cable at a1 Gbe link facilitating a Unifi Access Point - which also carries PoE for the AP. I swap the cable from the patch panel to the switch. Everything works on the AP connection without issue.
This seems to suggest the cable is has an issue pulling 10Gbe as advertised. I do not *think* I did anything wrong in my testing. I would love to hear from CableMatters on this as I really do not want to coil up a 15 foot Cat6a cable for the connection needed - an 18 in connection inside the rack.
