I got this and works well. I would use it for permanent installation because locking mechanism is hard to disengage with my fingers. A spoon handle worked well at disconnecting the connector.

The anti-snag boots SUCK! Compared to no boot, you have to press like a gorilla to unlatch the thing. And though I understand the purpose, I can't recall one time in my life I've had an ethernet cable get snagged any different than any cable would. Certainly never a time a said "Dang. Wish this tab was protected." It makes total sense on the surface, but is a solution a problem I've never had. I have, however, darn near ripped ethernet jacks out of their socket because I thought I was pushing on the boot hard enough and clearly was not.

Again, patch cables aren't for long haul, and the difference from a 24 to a 23 will be nearly impossible to tell the difference on a standard patch cable. Most issues with cabling are at the connector and termination.
I've been certifying cabling for over 25 Years, and I'm a certified by Fluke Networks, and Panduit to do cabling (Copper and Fiber) Certifications.
I find that Monoprice cables are decent, not the best, but far from the worse.
A lot of the cheap Amazon cables (especially ones marked CAT7, usually are CCA cables, and therefore wouldn't meet CAT3, 5, 6 standards ever which call for Copper only.
Though I'll admit to the average person it probably doesn't matter at all.
