Review on πŸ”Œ High-Performance Cable Matters Short Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 3ft by Jason Cavett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superior CAT Cable - Works great with Unifi 10Gb Switch

jobs later. and development server. With 10 Gigabit switches still being relatively expensive, it's important to use quality components and cables, so I started my search with a brand I trust and have used for various other cabling needs: Cable Matters. CAT8 cables are strong, simple and straightforward. They look and feel solid, the RJ45 connector is well made, and unlike many cable manufacturers I've used in the past, the wire pairs are clean cut and flush with the connector, making for a solid connection , when plugged into each connector. Standard Rj45 port or SFTP+ modules on RJ45. If you have 10Gb hardware at home then it is highly recommended to use it as it allows you to easily saturate the connection at full speed without dropping it. One thing I'd like to see is a wider range of lengths. I have a growing need for 0.5", 1.0", 1.5", 2.0" and 3" cables. Seeing 6' as an option would be nice too!

Pros
  • This Cat 8 cable's improved shielded design includes individually shielded copper foil connectors wrapped with an all-steel braid; Fully shielded metal connectors feature gold plated RJ45 contacts and a sealed body with a molded retainer; Tested to support frequencies up to 2000MHz (2GHz), which is 4x the frequency of Cat 6A or Cat7 cable
Cons
