don't buy them if you're using for video transmission!
I bought two of Cable Matters Cat6 Ethernet Cable 75ft each and the Cable Matters Active USB 3.0 Extension 32ft, I needed them for a theatre show to transmit video signal. I've tested the 75 ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable with my HDMI transmitter, the signal was lagging and consistently transmitting about 3-5 frames per second. I've swapped to another 100 ft Cat 5e that the theatre had for backup, the video signal was smooth and clear. I also tested the USB 3.0 extension with regular Logitech usb camera, the frame rate was also really low, about 3-5 frames per second. I had to borrow another extension and the signal became smooth and normal again. After these 2 testings, my conclusion is that Cable Matter's cable quality definitely has some issues. It was a waste of my money and my time. It also wasted some of the tech time that I had in the theatre trying to trouble shoot this and finding backup solutions. I recorded some video of me testing both the Cable Matter's cable and another brand and show that Cable Matter's quality has some clear problems while another brand does the job. Now that I have these 3 cables are pretty much useless for me. I've send them back for return. It wasted quite a bit of my time, so I just wanted to share with y'all here, be aware of this brand's cable, at least if you're looking to do video transmission!
