Patch Cable Quality - Brand Differences? BJ 08-21-06

I'm ordering a bunch of short Cat 6 patch cables and found an inexpensive
supplier. The supplier apparently uses cables made by Abergetty, whom I've
never heard of. Abergetty's website is almost nonexistent, but the supplier
says they meet or exceed the 568-B.2-1 standard and are UL certified. They
say nothing of being fluke tested or certified, and I wondered if I could
regret buying these patch cables. Do I need to worry? Is a Cat 6 patch
cable a Cat 6 patch cable?

Thanks,

BJ
