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)

Great Product

A bit overpriced but wanted to see if there is a noticible speed boost?

Good value for the money spent. No drop in signal. So far so good.

I have this cable hooked up directly to my router. With my old cable I was getting roughly 40 to 70 Mbps download speeds on my PS4. I instantly got like 4x the speed to 240 to 280 Mbps or more. For now its awesome. Will try with the PS5 soon.

Perfect cable. Used for new router. Runs perfectly quick.

Cat 8 cables are much faster with a gig modem

Perfect size for my needs. Quick delivery. Fast speeds from modem to router. So good I dont have to think about it.

these were purchased to supply 4K to our new Sony TV. my husband said they were perfect!

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.

I am not sure if this makes any difference at all. But I am prepared for 1gbs internet
