Now THOSE kinds of responses I really didnt expect. Though, in hindsight, maybe I should have. Wouldn't y'all care to elaborate, rather than just giving blanket, unsupported and, dare I say, blatantly prejudiced statements like that? I thought this site was all about 'analysis', on obscure science or otherwise. For sure personal prejudices get in the way sometimes, but that was just too much.
There is absolutely nothing prejudicial at all about my personal desire to not do business with China. It's all based on what is well known, not anything which is blindly assumed out of prejudice.
The country is a cesspool of toxic waste. It's crawling with counterfeiters and other intellectual property thieves. And the government allows its citizens next to no political freedom.
Based on that I choose not to do any business with them whenever possible.
Of course that's just my personal decision. Others are free to not care about such things.
But for the sake of helping a fellow inmate (assuming that's the reason why anyone here responds to threads), could you just go along with it and tell me which you would buy if these products were 'American'.
My comment had absolutely nothing to do with buying "American" products.
However to answer your question, I'm not sure they're offering anything there which would necessarily be an improvement over what you're using now.
For example, you mention the use of stranded conductors versus the solid conductors in your Cat 5 cables, however there are those who would argue that stranded conductors are worse than solid conductors.
