Review on Shielded Snagless Ethernet Internet Connector by Jeremy Jackz

I needed 50ft network cables and was amused at how some people are testing them (via online speed tests) and some of the negative reviews didn't seem to match that cable to be connected. I even saw someone say that one of those RJ45 cables melted into their PC's network card - I mean, right? I bought the two more expensive ones to see if there was a difference between them and decided to try one of them. Using iPerf3, which directly connects two laptops, I ran some tests using the following cables (from most expensive to least expensive): 1. Approx. $25 Category 8 Ethernet cable, 50 feet, shielded, 26 AWG, latest SFTP-40- Gbps Patch Cord 2000MHz Heavy Duty High Speed Cat8 LAN RJ45 Cable - In Wall, Outdoor, Weatherproof, Router, Modem, Gaming2. about $16 (This is for checking) Yauhody CAT 7 Ethernet Cable 50ft Shielded Solid Flat High Speed Gigabit Internet CAT7 SFTP LAN RJ45 Patch Cord for PS5 PS4 PS3 Xbox Game Router Modem Switch PC, TV (50ft Black) 3 Approx $15 Cat 7 Ethernet Cable 50ft Shielded Rugged Flat PC Network Cable Faster than Cat5e/Cat6 High Speed Cat7 RJ45 Wireline Cable for Routers, Modems, Xbox, PS4, Camera, Hubs - BlackRestrictions: I'm on 1 max Gbps limited both laptops. This is fine for me on my home network for local traffic. Results: 1. Both tests are quite close with: [ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 5] 0.00-10.03 s 1.10 GB 945 Mbps I connected both cables to one connector and the test result was the same: 945 Mbps2. [ ID] Transmission Interval Bandwidth [ 5] 0.00 - 10.03 s 1.10 GB 946 Mbps3. [ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [4] 0.00-10.00 s 1.10 GB 949 Mbps More expensive cables are tested a bit slower than cheaper ones BUT they seem quite heavy (thicker case that feels like silicone) BUT the zip ties hold the spool (out of the box) left dents on the jacket. Again, these are round cables, not flat cables like the cheaper ones in the list above. I'm no cable expert, but if you don't have the money to burn or you have a real reason (trying to push 10GB), you might want to look around for the cheapest cables. BUT many cables sold outside of China are aluminum rather than pure copper, which can pose a fire hazard if you draw a lot of current through Poe. I don't have a chance to test them as I don't want to destroy them, but the cheaper ones are used for the cameras (15.4W). Keep in mind that the general rule is that you get what you pay for (not always). So if you want to buy a 50 inch Cat8 labeled camera for under $20 I would question the quality.
