Ideal Wi-Fi alternative

This Category 8 Ethernet cable is a more robust Wi-Fi alternative. It should work just as well as a round cable and with the added benefit of a unique design. This cable is flat, which means it can be installed flush with the wall or even tucked under the carpet. This design is very convenient and greatly simplifies the wiring of the Ethernet cable. QIFGUO clearly thought of usability with this cable as it also provides enough cable clamps for each cable. This is handy for cable management and is great for running that cable along a wall or around corners like doorways, which some Ethernet cables struggle with. The cable can support data rates of up to 40Gbps with an amazing 20GHz bandwidth. , in the bandwidth range of top Category 8 network cables. The only problem I've ever had is that they come in a coil and cause the middle to get stuck in that shape. I am concerned that this may affect the speed of the network cable and am consulting with the seller on this. However, the seller replied that he would use Fluke tools to test each stranded wire before it left the factory. This angled bend does not affect the transmission performance of the Ethernet cable. Luckily, it can be straightened with minimal strain on the cable and there shouldn't be any problems after that.
