Network Patch Cables are not created equally

[Q] Are all network patch cables the same? [A] There are companies trying to sell you cheap, poorly constructed cables that would like you to believe all cat 5 network cables are the same, but there are some huge differences that are not mentioned. Cheaper cables start with cheaper raw materials. This is usually surplus material that was too inferior to pass quality standards for its original application, or material that by quality tolerances just is not any good. The process of making a cable is not complicated, but it does require attention to detail, and a high degree of quality control. Most cheap surplus cable making operations have little or no quality control, with typically a small percentage of cables being spot checked. This is no way to make a performance product. Consumer demand for competitive pricing has driven many cable makers to use whatever they can get away with, but in the end you get what you pay for.
