My Ethernet wire broke. (the wire I used to connect my Verizon Modem to my Linksys Router) so I got this one and it works fine.  I would have liked them to specify "Ethernet" in the description cause I'm not familiar with the terminology and wasn't sure it was the same wire I had that needing replacing.  I finally looked up CAT5e on the web and found a site that called it an Ethernet wire so I came back here and bought it.
