Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 6 ft 5 Pack, Nylon Braided High Speed Heavy Duty Network LAN Patch Cord, 40Gbps 2000Mhz RJ45 Flat Internet Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor for Modem/Router/PC

The cable is rather stiff, so when connecting to loose recipients it can pull them about, but quality good

Be aware that these are very short ,about 50cm. High quality but I do need much longer.

They work well my "normal use" and I mostly appreciated the fact that they have different colors.

These Cat 8 cables are great. Fast connection and really sturdy. The flat braided design makes them flexible but strong, and I love the different colored connector heads to quickly tell which device is plugged in. Came with 5 cables, which is awesome for the price. No complaints at all, they’ve been working perfectly for all my network devices. Definitely a solid buy for anyone needing reliable Ethernet cables.

If you have a really high incoming internet service, you need these cables. I habe gig speed fiber from AT&T and use these to achieve top speeds at all my ethernet ports throughout my home. Cables really do make a difference, so toss those Cat5 cables and start getting what you're paying for in speed.

Thought I'd experiment with these cables. Didn't work. I couldn't even get them to train at 100mbit with a gigabit Cisco sg200 managed switch and Realtek 2.5 gigabit cards. I tried disabling energy efficiency on both sides, trying both Windows and Linux drivers, different ports on both ends, preventing ground loops with an intermediary unshielded cable that blocks continuous shielding, and all sorts of tricks. They just would not work more than a few kilobits per second, they were so bad. I tried one cable, then a second. I didn't bother with cables 3, 4, and 5 after that. I looked at the one star reviews and realized there are pictures looking at the ends and people complaining about the terminations. I have terminated countless cables in my life and I was surprised that there was so much freedom of movement in the wires at the end and many of them were pushed up so high that there was a question regarding if the ends pierced the wire insulation as they are supposed to. Mine look the same way (especially pins 3 and 4 being elevated (pattern: 00100100). I tested the terminations with a cable tester and detected conductivity and no breaks. And they test as conducting through the shielding. I don't believe terminations are the problem. I have initiated a refund because they simply don't work in my environment. I suspect it is because I may have too much nearby interference (a wifi router, 65 inch screen, dozens of other (shielded) cables, etc.) or that my old switch is starting to fail. It has been in a dusty crawl space for over a decade and the replacement cables do work but not on every port. I'll update this review when I get another switch to test them against. The sellers offered a refund and to let me keep them. That's good.
