Review on πŸ”Œ GHMT & DSX8000 Certified Cat8 Ethernet Cable Connector (6-Pack) with Tool-Free Easy Termination Keystone Jack - LINKUP, for 2000MHz 2GHz 40G Double Shielded Solid LAN Cable 22AWG-24AWG by Richard Puckett

Works perfectly! suitable for cables and connections

I have a degree in mechanical and electrical engineering, although I have never created my own cable network before. I felt ready to start the new CAT-8 network lines from scratch. LinkUp has good instructions with a video available on Youtube and the terminal block inside the connector is color coded making it pretty easy. I did a total of 4 runs (8 RJ45 connectors) with 100% success on the first try. These LinkUp RJ45 plugs are heavy duty and as you can see in the photo they require about 3 inches of space behind the ports to connect. CAT-8 cables are also thick and difficult to pull through. If you're doing multiple passes, I recommend the LinkUP Easy Press Jack Tool (unless you have an iron fist); This tool greatly simplifies the installation of cables.

Pros
  • (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQ2GSFQ) Cat8 certified bulk cable
Cons
  • unreliable
