Telstra Ethernet Cable (CAT 5e, 3m Length) $2 Delivered @ Telstra

410

As in title.

Specification says it’s CAT 5 cable but the product photo shows CAT.5e printed on cable.

I assume it is a CAT.5e cable which is capable for gigabit speed.

    Remember people it can do 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 45 meters. Being 3m cable it won't have issues reaching speeds most people can realistically reach at home.

      Is that ISO Gigabits, or NBN gigabits?

    I remember ordering a cheap item from telstra which ended up at the post office 15 min drive away.. When I went to collect it, they wanted to see my original passport because that is apparently what I used to sign up with telstra many moons ago.. Was a huge pain in the ass for soemthing I did not even need.. never again!

  • These are fine for 100/200Mbps connection.
    I always find the internet extremely expensive, I wouldn't pay any more than my current $90 per month for 250Mbps, I doubt not many people are paying for those gigabyte connection……

      I'd be fine with 250mbps down, it's the 25mbps up that annoys me. The minimal price difference between 100/40 and 1000/50 is why I have gigabit.

      Sadly 250/100 is more expensive than 1000/50 though.

    • you pay $90 for 250, i pay $99 for 1000. 4x faster for 9 dollars more.

      • Which isp?

      • Mate which ISP gets you 1000 down for $99?

    you can pick these up for free locally on marketplace.

    I got a bunch and stripped a few just for wire. Makes a good remote temperature sensor with a DS18B20-PAR

    For $2 it's really not bad, these are very reliable cables in my experience and will be capable of more than 1 gig

  • They're charging $2 to steal your identity.

    Pass.

  • Ahh, they're doing this again.. There were a few takers the last time.

    I picked one up as well. They're pretty decent and assembled well. But yeah, the website's processes for dealing with your order are pretty rubbish

  • Wow what an amazing deal, maybe you can buy this too https://www.telstra.com.au/accessories/cables/telstra/rj11-t…

  • Thats a good deal if you need a Cat5e cable 3m or less ..I have a newly built double storey house with ethernet points in every room and found the prices of pre crimped cables to be atrocious when I went looking so had to buy a crimper, cable terminators, tester from China and cable locally and I am happy that I did but if this deal had been around ..I wouldve just bought these.. good quality cables are pretty expensive… and I'd rather have wired ethernet in my house for devices that need the bandwith .. the wireless channels are too unreliable with competing devices…good deal but not for everyone
