Q: Are these really cat6 cables? More like a bait & switch as the pins are clearly cat5 and the transfer speed is listed as 1 gigabit & not 10 gigabit!

Those other answers are idiotic. Cat 7 is not a real IEEE recognized ethernet standard. It's also a lot older than most think and is not actually newer than cat6 or cat6A. Cat5E is rated for short-ranged NBASE-T multigigabit (2.5 and 5). Not rated, but some people have success with very short range 10GbE. Don't count on it. Cat6 is rated for 10GbE up to 55m. Cat6A is rated for 10GbE up to 100m (which is the maximum length of *regular* base-t speeds, there are some long-distance specs out there that honestly are probably better served with fiber) Cat8 is rated for 25 or 40GbE (per the standard, though I can't say I've ever seen any equipment for it, and I SELL cisco gear)

Q: I need a wire that can support 200mbps is it worth going beyond cat 6?

cat5e and/or cat 6 will support up to 1000 megabits up to 100 meters (~330 ft) Also, you're either going to connect at 100Megabit, or 1000Megabit - there is no "200Megabit" link.

Q: Cat 6 supposed to have 10Gbps but the spec here shares only 1 Gbps?

I've gotten solid 10Gbps on cat 5e, just depends on length and environment

Q: Does this cable work well hooking a amazon fire tv to your home router?

Used mine from my router to LG OLED 65" UHD TV - streaming and smart features work great.
