CAT 8 Ethernet Cable, 6ft (5 Pack) Ultra High Speed 40Gbps 2000MHz SFTP 26AWG CAT8 Cable LAN Internet Network Cord with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector for Gaming, Router, Modems, PC (6ft/5 Pack/Black)

In the process of hardwiring my house, bought these cable to connect my new Wifi 6 router to the modem and to the Ethernet switch. The cable replaced was Cat 5e. The download speed of my internet speed is 200MB, so I did not expected any improvement with the new Cat 8 cables. I was a little surprised to actually see slightly speed improvement. These Cat 8 Ethernet cable are thick and well built with strong, solid materials. With the future proof cables, I do not need to worry them as the possible bottleneck in my home network for a very long time.

Replace my 5e,10 time faster. More stable than WiFi for gaming.

Very good quality at a great price!

Appear to be made of good material and no problems so far with connectivity

The cables are heavy and well shielded. The gold shielding on the ends guarantees that theyll be well grounded. I know Ill never have any issues with these cables.

Works great. Improved my ping over wifi by 10-15ms and 2-4 ms over my cat5 cable.

While CAT 6A certainly is more than adequate for home use I only needed a couple connections and opted for CAT8 since the price wasnt excessive and thought--WHY NOT :-) I would stay away from CAT7 as the connector ends might not be consistent among vendors and this category is NOT approved anyway by IEEE for networks. The rule of thumb is for most networks and the cabling to devices opt for CAT6A and use CAT8 FOR DATACENTER connections like connecting servers to switches in the same or nearby racks. CAT8 has a 30 meter distance as opposed to CAT6A which is the familiar 100meter. CAT8 is good for devices in the same room essentially. I actually got it as I like the shielding properties on this category cable especially when we are talking about homes that have all sorts of interference-causing devices and power cabling and such. I really wanted this for connecting between my cable provider gateway and my router primarily to ensure as interference-free connection as possible. CAT6A would work fine too and anyone with any IT experience knows full well 99.9999999% of people will never know the difference in terms of speed or bandwidths between CAT6A and CAT8. As I said, WHY NOT..... I would NOT purchase CAT8 cables for any more than a few devices as the costs wouldnt be justified and CAT6A is just fine too. The CAT8 cables are well made and you can tell from the connectors and the foil shielding these would last a long time and would hold up under most conditions.

Speeds have been great for my devices on these cables.

Works perfectly, no glitch

Fantastic cables. Performed as expected, large improvement in speed over the cables I replaced.
