Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 0.5M 2Pack, High-Speed Gigabit Braided RJ45 LAN Patch Cord, 40Gbps 2000Mhz, Lan Network Cable Compatible with Router Faster than Cat7

These Cat 8 Ethernet cables are sturdy, reliable, and the two-pack is great value. They deliver fast, stable connections with no issues. Not as long as I hoped, but that’s on me for ordering the wrong size. Overall, good quality cables that do the job well.

Please see my photosWhen this cable arrived I was so impressed with its weight. Considering it is advertised as being SFTP type..............Screened Shielded Twisted Pair (SSTP), also referred to as Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP) all but eliminates alien crosstalk and greatly improves noise resistance making it the ideal networking cable in high EMI environments such as power stations, data centres, factories, and hospitals.......and being strongly braided. It certainly seemed to be that when I first looked at it. Weighing it, see photo, this 20m of cable weighed over half as much again as other comparably priced cables of the same length.The weaving on the material braiding is also excellent.The plugs are well made at either end, note due to the weight and slight inflexibility of the cables be careful if bending or shaping if near to where it is plugged in. Do the shaping and bending first and then plug it in to what is needed, avoid undue pressure and stress on the plug and socket.I am only using this on a std LAN and need 1Gb speeds, not being used for POE etc or anything faster. In that respect the performance is good and as expected. Hopefully there will be some future proofing by using this cable in terms of its rated throughput.Being a round, and not flattened, cable type means it is not as easy to conceal under carpets, it does come with a few clips, possibly more needed. But it is shielded twisted pairs that are in turn all foil lined shielded, so cross talk and external interference is minimised.Overall VERY impressed with this cable and would not hesitate to buy again as needed.I do hope this review has been useful.

The type of shielding on a copper cable impacts its stability, performance, speed, the longevity of the cable and that of your network. These are the most widely used types of shielding available for Ethernet cables and what they mean.Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable has no shielding. This is the most used and most basic type of cable. The cable contains pairs of wires twisted together to help reduce and prevent electromagnetic interference.Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables also have twisted wires, which are then wrapped with a shielding or screening material, typically a foil wrapping or a copper braid jacket.Foil Twisted Pair (FTP) cables are a bit different, with each twisted pair of cables wrapped in its own shielding of foil to protect the cable from EMI and crosstalk.Shielded Foil Twisted Pair (S/FTP) cables combine FTP and STP shielding types. The wires inside the cable are twisted and then shielded with a foil wrapping, then the 4-pair grouping of foiled wires are shielded by a wrapping of either foil or a flexible braided screening. This provides the highest level of protection against EMI and crosstalk.

qood quality braided cable

Working well & no loss of signal

Does the job no complaints

Brilliant and the length is grwat

My broadband provider put the box a bit further away from the router than I would have liked so I ordered two packs of two three meter ethernet cables.It was easy to fit them (after I worked out that they came with clear plastic safety covers that you have to remove).To be honest, I now have a better speed & the router can now be easily moved.Well worth the money.
