Is this ethernet cable good?

Go to solution Solved by TheKDub,

I'd recommend cablematters ethernet cables or monoprice cat6 cables, I've used both and they've been great.

The mediabridge cable you linked should be fine as well, though you might want to get a black cable to hide it a little nicer, as blue tends to stick out quite a bit.

I need a pretty long cable so I can run it to my PC from another room, is this one good? If not any recommendations would be great!

Yeah, I just said cat6 for monoprice because their cat5e cables are kinda shitty quality. (At least I think it was monoprice that had the shitty one, I remember having one that was very poorly twisted, and the sleeving was the cheapest shitty plastic you could imagine, it was worse than $3 earbuds, and it wasn't tight at all.)
