Cat8 Ethernet Cable 100 ft (30.48m), Outdoor&Indoor, Flat 40Gbps 2000MHz S/FTP Cable, Heavy Duty Internet Cord, UV Resistant Weatherproof Shielded RJ45 for Router, Modem, Switch, Gaming, PC, TV, White

This flat shaped 3ft long cat8 jumper cable was plugged directly into my gigabit cable modem, then ran over to my 8-port gigabit switch that I have 7 other cat8 cables of various lengths running to individual devices including a 5-port gigabit switch to run cat8 cables as needed to other devices and equipment. So far the cable is working great, plenty of speed, and helped improve the performance of our devices and communications equipment. I'd gladly purchase more from this seller in the future!

Setting up new computer and all my ethernet cables were CAT5, something you may not really think about if they work. Decided to upgrade to CAT 8 cables and it doubled my connection from ~250 mbs to ~480 mbs. The cables are worked and the flat shape made it easy to label the cables with a sharpie. would recommend and buy again.

Cable gets the job doneGot it on sale for around $21, extremely cheap, and very much worth it, especially for a cable like this, it works great, and the cable being flat is a huge help and makes things a lot easier to manage.

I haven’t had the cable very long, but it feels quality, it performs well. The ends are well protected and can be a bit tough to push the tab in tight areas to release them, but they certainly don’t fall out. Was nice to receive a few plastic staples to secure the cable.

As advertised

This cable can be easily run along baseboards. It is rigid enough to maintain its shape and not get all wrinkly. But at the same time it is flexible enough that it can easily be shaped to navigate corners. This can be seen in the second photo. (I didn't have time to install the ties yet to affix it to the wall more permanently.)The cable also supports transmission at very fast speeds, which makes it suitable for transmitting video signals from room to room with excellent image quality and no perceptible (to me) latency. The cable appears to include shielding (based on the marketing images), which means there should be less interference between the lanes in the cable. Networking cables contain 2-4 lanes (each of which is a twisted pair of copper wires) that independently transmit data. So it's good to have these lanes be independently shielded. Otherwise the signals from one lane can interfere with signals in other lanes.I really like being able to play video games in both my bedroom and living room from the same PC with no perceptible (to me) latency. And I also don't like to clutter my living room with visible gaming equipment (consoles, PC tower, etc.). So I ran this CAT 8 cable from my living room to my bedroom, where my PC is. And I have a HDMI over CAT transmitter in my bedroom, next to my PC, and a HDMI over CAT receiver in my living room. Therefore the video signals can be sent over this CAT 8 cable. It was important for me to get a quality CAT cable like this one, since the transmitter is sending about 6 to 7 Gigabits per second of data over this cable while I am streaming games. CAT 8 cables have greatly higher bandwidth than previous cables, which can allow higher data transmission rates. The transmitters and receivers are also sending USB signals over the same CAT 8 cable, and I have an attached a USB hub in my TV cabinet. The hub has receivers attached for my mouse, keyboard and game controller. Therefore, my mouse, keyboard, and game controller in my living room are also connected to my PC in my bedroom, with no perceptible (to me) lag. The whole system works more or less perfectly. I can play video games that require precise timing (parrying, etc.) with no concerns about lag whatsoever and great image quality. This cable was a key enabler to that, since I wanted something that could be easily run along the baseboard (so not too thick, easy to bend), but that also had great shielding and components to be able to transmit at a high data rate over a longish (35 ft) distance.If you are curious, I bought my AV transmitter and receivers as a pair from AV Access on Amazon (search Amazon for ASIN:B073B84CY1 and ignore any sponsored results). I bought the USB 2.0 hub in the image elsewhere, but StarTech makes some good USB 2.0 hubs that are sold on Amazon. I like USB 2.0 hubs more than recent ones since I have heard reports that newer hubs can cause interference with USB receivers for keyboards etc due to the higher signaling rate causing interference. And I like externally powered hubs to avoid overdrawing current from the video receiver. I'm also using a HDMI splitter from AV Access so my HDMI signals from my gaming PC goes to both the TV in my bedroom, and also across this link to my living room TV. It's a Samsung QLED TV and a Mopio Ensley Tall TV stand. And I use a USB receiver from May Flash (also bought on Amazon) to allow my game controller to connect to the USB hub.Overall I'm really pleased with this setup. And this cable was a great find to help enable it to work.

This was a good purchase choice to connect a basement router to a new TV.

Great item. Love how it blends in with wall
