LINKUPCat8 Ethernet Cable Connector (2-Pack) RJ45 Metal Die-Cast Field Termination Plug | Tool Free Easy Jack | for 2000Mhz 40G S/FTP Shielded LAN Screened Solid 2Ghz Bulk Cable 22AWG-24AWG

I have a decent home network (pfSense, Unifi switches etc) but this review will not focus on that.This cable is not used in my main network but to connect a couple of key audiophile / videophile components to a dedicated Melco switch. We are talking Oppo 203, dCS Rossini etc.It's an over-engineered cable with 22AWG OFC copper, some the most impressive connectors I have seen to date and, best in class screening and, to cut a long story short, a sound to die for.I know plenty of people don't believe in network cables - bits are just bits after all - but the demonstration is simple. Pay 30£, not hundreds or thousand, wait for the delivery man to knock on your door, sit back and enjoy the difference.I have the Audioquest Diamond, the Meizu Opal and plenty of other "audiophile" cables. This is on par with the very best for a fraction of the price.I am not going to say more. It's ridiculously cheap by audiophile standards, connect your streamer or your TV using this cable. Don't argue, just try one. Hear / see the difference.

Brought this even though it was a lot more expensive thinking it should be great quality Complete waste of time wanted to replace my cat5e to see if speed would be better as got upgraded to 1gb broadband which is falling shortLuckily done a quick test before install I ran straight from router to pc and actually ran slower than my cat 5 tried serveral times putting in cat 5 then this supposedly cat 8 I also noticed there no writing or certificate to confirm this is in fact a cat 8 but the cable is slightly largerFunny enough I also brought a 2 metre on as a patch from cable from smith to pc and it worked as it should so not sure if I had a faulty one or they have problems running 10 meters and over

After having tried and changed a few different CAT8 cables, came across this one. This is the best CAT8 cable currently on the market by far! Using it to connect Virgin media router (in modem mode) to my ASUS router, finally reaching speeds over 900Mbps! It is more expensive but totally worth it, especially if you have a few streaming devices and you need a stable connection.

I have created quite a number of ethernet cables and used a number of connectors. These are the best I have ever used. Simple design, robust and easy to put together. Not the cheapest but well worth it. I will be purchasing more in the near future.

I had 2 cables which were advertised as CAT 7 in the past only to find i had 100mbps max capacity when I upgraded to gigabit internet. Swapped them out for this and now i get the full 1000mbps download so I cant complain at all. Though CAT 8 is overkill for 99% of people.
