Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 6FT High Speed Heavy Duty 26AWG Cat8 LAN Network Cable 40Gbps, 2000Mhz with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector, Outdoor&Indoor Internet Cable Compatible for Router Gaming Modem Xbox

Needed to wire my detached garage shop (92 yards from the house) with true 10G+ to the bench (NAS, editing rig, and a couple 10GbE workstations). After getting burned twice on “Cat8” cables that barely managed 5 Gbps over 100 ft, I rolled the dice on this $179 300 ft reel of honest-to-god 26AWG shielded Cat8. Result? Perfect. Real-world performance Terminated both ends myself with shielded Cat8 RJ45 ends (pass-through style, easy) Fluke DSX-8000 Channel test: CLEAN Cert to 40 Gbps Permanent Link standard at 280 ft iperf3 PC → Synology 1823xs+ over the full run: sustained 38.7 Gbps bidirectional (~4.8 GB/s) for hours while moving 8K RAW footage Latency 0.41 ms average, zero packet loss after a week of torture Build & outdoor durability Thick UV-resistant PE jacket + gel-filled direct-burial rating (no conduit needed) Pure copper 26AWG conductors, individual foil + overall braid shielding – no CCA garbage Pulled it through 2" PVC conduit + 60 ft of underground trench with zero kinks or jacket tears 4 months buried and sitting in standing water sometimes – still looks and tests brand new Pros Comes on a real wooden reel, not some tangled cardboard mess Actually flexible enough to work with (way better than the stiff 23AWG Cat8 logs) Price per foot is insane – worked out to ~$0.60/ft shipped One tiny gripe It’s black only (wish they offered gray or white for indoor runs), but I just sleeved the last 20 ft inside the house If you need a long 10G/25G/40G run outdoors or in-wall and don’t want to gamble on the dozens of fake “Cat8” cables on Amazon, this is the one. Already bought a second 300 ft reel for a buddy’s barn → house project after he saw my speeds. 10/10 – legit the best long-haul Ethernet cable I’ve ever used. Just buy it, terminate it properly, and enjoy stupid-fast networking for the next 20 years.

Plugged this in and instantly hit my ISP’s full speed — over 2,000 Mbps down / 350 Mbps up (see pic). Flexible, sturdy, and way better than WiFi. Total steal for the price. To make it work at full speed, I had to adjust some settings: switched to the 2.5G LAN port on my router, forced my NIC driver to run at 2.5 Gbps instead of auto, disabled WiFi, turned off Ethernet energy-efficiency features, and tweaked packet moderation so the driver wasn’t throttling performance. Once dialed in, the cable delivered exactly what was promised.

Very good, works great, will buy more if I need it

Reliable, well made, and great connectivity. Long size for most usage

good quality cables, great pricing compared to big box stores will buy again

Very good cable!!! With a router that supports 10GB data. This cable works amazing!!!! I have 2gig internet. And I get downloads of 2100megabits. Very satisfied!!! Will buy another again to route my other room in my house.

Great cable. Perfect for what I needed. Only complaint is that the cable isn’t as durable as advertised. It’s also very taut so hard to bend around corners

Rather than spending more money on fancy packaging, you’re paying for the product, which is well made and feels substantial. Frankly, CAT8 is overkill for me, but when this cable costs tge same as CAT6, I figured it’s better to future proof now than later. Performance wise, worked as expected, no complaints.

Had to run a long cable from garage to the room this works perfect

Todo correcto y rápido

O produto é muito bom! Porém, na descrição diz que tem 20m (vinte metros), mas chegou menos da metade disso.

ممتاز
