Monoprice Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable - 100 Feet - Blue | Network Internet Cord - RJ45, Stranded, 350Mhz, UTP, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 24AWG - Flexboot Series

Was using a competing product which was similar. Checked out Monoprice and found theirs better on the lock release / snagless front with a MUCH better price. Oh and the color selection is much broader helping better organize more complex installations.

Almost 5 years ago I put up security cameras around the house that used Cat5e wires. The wires provided with the camera set didn't last long and cameras stopped working after only a few months. I purchased one of these as a test and the camera came back to life. So I purchased 8 in total, all a different color so I could tell which wire goes to a given camera. Now almost 5 years later the wires running through the attic in Florida summers and they are still working as the day there were installed. I had to move a camera to get a better angle, so having color-coded wires made it easy to trace the wire in the attic when multiple cat5e wires were lying side by side on top of the insulation.
