Review on πŸ’» Superior Connectivity: Cat 7 Internet Cable 15Ft for Lightning-Fast Speeds by Ron Coleman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Shielded CAT8 cable - choose carefully

I have to say I was very impressed with the design and construction of this cable. I bought three of these for an audio system I've been working on and I'm very happy with them: 1.) Sturdy cable 2.) Thick outer casing 3.) High quality Eth connectors with a secure fit and locking mechanism 4.) They are shielded - protects RFI and EMI and your Ethernet TCP internal5.) Shielded - and connected to ground at both ends. Number 5 can be a big headache when you have two devices communicating over eth that have network grounding on different buses. In my case, the ground loop was terrible for my sound. So you know: 1.) All AC mains at my two locations are surge protected and isolated. 2.) Each location references only one network ground rail 3.) RF isolators on inputs from outside world 4.) Ferrites are appropriately placed on all links including CAT8. Turns out there was a wiring fault in the house that would have cost $$$$$ to fix. It was much easier for me to go back to CAT5. Excellent CAT8 - watch out for ground loops!

Pros
  • ❀❀❀Gold plated connector shield, 8P8C gold plated contacts. Backward compatible with legacy CAT5 and CAT6 Ethernet networks.
Cons
  • old
