Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 85FT 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.

got this Cat for our new desktop, and it worked immediately—no setup issues at all. The fit is just right, snug and comfortable, and the connection quality is excellent with no interruptions or lag. The durability feels solid; it’s well-built and should last a long time. I also appreciate the weight—light enough to handle easily but substantial enough to feel sturdy. The look is sleek and modern, fitting nicely with our desktop setup. Finally, the charging speed is impressive, powering up quickly so it’s ready to go without delays. Overall, this is a fantastic product that combines style, function, and reliability.

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

Wicked fast speeds! Definitely recommend! Very nice cable! Well built! Super easy to install!

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.

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

It works and is a strong cord

Il cavo è arrivato con i tempi indicati nell'ordine, imballaggio perfetto. Lunghezza 10mt come indicato. L'ho subito collegato al modem e ad una smart tv con risultati eccellenti. Prima utilizzavo il collegamento wifi tra TV e modem con risultati abbastanza deludenti (essendoci dei muri tra tv e modem). Ora, dopo aver collegato tv e modem con il cavo. Puo' essere passato anche in una canaletta interna. L'acquisto ha soddisfatto tutte le mie aspettative. Lo consiglio.

ممتاز

sehr gute Qualität, man kann das Kabel gut durch den Keller und outdoor durch den Garten legen, sehr gute Kontakte, bester Fernsehempfang. Keine Kritikpunkte.
