What link did you use? The link provided here is defective (it's for a 3 ft. or 5 ft. cable).
EDIT: The link is now working, but it's OOS!

Link is correct, it is just OOS. It was removed completely from the page for a bit which is why it took you do a different length, but now is back and says unavailable.

EDIT and now it's back in stock but at the full $9.97 price (it was a limited quantity deal, after posting this it went from like 80% claimed to unavailable within 15 mins).

Got one; thanks OP. Stupid question; is there a true difference between a standard Ethernet cable and a patch cable?

My limited half ars research leads me to believe the only difference of a patch cable is that it has male connectors on both ends. Is there less shielding, performance ECT of a patch cable compared to a standard Ethernet cord? The classification/etymology seems a bit ambiguous to me; perhaps I'm over thinking here...

Patch cables use stranded wire to make them more flexible, and are pre-terminated with RJ45. Bare ethernet is typically solid wire with no ends. It will also usually have fire ratings for in wall or duct use.

This patch also has a nice nylon braided covering instead or bare PVC.

This isn't something you'd run in walls, so no need to worry about the terminology, this will work for any interconnecting you want to do up to 25 gigs (and probably 40 gig too).

This cable is also shielded, which isn't really important for most home users but a nice feature to have. Patch cables and bulk Ethernet can be shielded (STP, FTP, SFTP) or unshielded (UTP).

If you're asking about two cables with RJ45 on both ends where one is called patch and one is called ethernet, that is just different terminology for the exact same thing. Heck you could cut a piece of solid bulk ethernet, put RJ45s on both ends, and it would technically be a patch cable. Neither term refers to any sort of standard, you need to look at the category, shielding, wire gauge, fire rating, etc independent of whatever the cable is called.

Thanks, fixed, copied and pasted the 20 foot one below it and forgot to edit that part.

Ah, so my inference was basically correct; Patch and standard Ethernet cable is identical/interchangeable.

So if a Patch cable has the same Category as an Ethernet cord it has the same performance/specs; the Patch classification is basically letting you unambiguously know that it has been terminated with male connectors on both ends. I think I get it now and thanks for enlightening me; it's appreciated.

Yep, you got it. Patch or patch cord is a generic term for "pre made" and can apply to Ethernet, audio, video, and many other things.

For home use up to 10 gig any of the cables listed will work fine. I'm not a big fan of the flat ones as they use very small wires inside but at these lengths (even 100 feet) they should be fine as long as you don't run them up against AC power cables for long distances.
