Description of πŸ’» Cable Matters 10Gbps Ethernet 25Gbps

Cat 8 performance for a 10GBASE-T, 25GBASE-T or a 40GBASE-T channel compliant network up to 30 meters; GHMT Cat 8 channel performance verified; Fully backwards compatible with Cat 5e (Cat5e), Cat 6 (Cat6), or Cat 6A (Cat6A) Ethernet networks with 10Gbps support up to 100 meters. 25 GbE high bandwidth Ethernet cable Cat 8 rated supports network switch to server connections; Optimize the distance and power in high density networking End of Row (EOR), Top of Rack (TOR) or Middle of Row (MOR) configurations at the data center; Cat 8 supports interconnect topologies that are limited to 2 connections in a 30 meter channel for 25Gbps or 40Gbps network speeds. Next generation copper cable provides a lower cost alternative than OM3 fiber connections under 30 meters or an SFP+ twin-axial connection under 5 meters; Cat 8 Ethernet cable supports auto-negotiation for compatibility with mixed network server speeds from 1 Gbps to 40 Gbps. Superior Shielded design of this Cat 8 cable includes individually foil-Shielded bare copper connectors encased in an overall steel braid; Fully Shielded metal connectors have gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot with molded strain relief; Tested to support up to 2000 MHz (2 Ghz) that is 4x the frequency of Cat 6A cable or Cat7 cable. PoE plus advantage allows a Cat 8 cable to support a 280 cable bundle versus only 101 cables in a Cat 6A bundle; Tolerates higher temperatures up to 75C for 100W power transmission.

Reliable 10Gbps connection to my switch

I've had trouble finding cable reviews where someone has actually used 10Gbps cables. In most of the reviews I've read, people use expensive cables for 1Gb/s connections. If you only connect your cable modem to a 1Gbps router or PC, don't waste your money on anything beyond CAT6. CAT6a, CAT7 or CAT8 required for 10Gbps or faster connection; or in a noisy environment, but that is not necessary for your home. This cable works as advertised and negotiated a 10Gb/s connection with my Cisco Nexus…

Pros
  • High-bandwidth 25GbE Cat-8 Ethernet cable supports network switch-to-server connections; Distance and performance optimization in high-density networks in end-of-row (EOR), top-of-rack (TOR), or middle-of-row (MOR) configurations in the data center; Cat 8 supports interconnect topologies limited to 2 links per 30m link for 25Gbps or 40Gbps network speeds.
Cons
  • Not sure

Great cable and goodbye bottleneck!

This cable changed the game. Little did I know the standard ethernet cable I got from the ISP was bad, I mean it didn't even come close to the speed I was supposed to get. The only time I was able to get the displayed speed was around 3am. But not anymore. I plugged it in and then ran a speed test and bam I actually saw myself going full speed. I've done this twice just to make sure I'm seeing everything correctly, and again get the same result as before. I love this cable. I would buy again as

Pros
  • This Category 8 cable's improved shielded design includes individual bare copper foil terminations wrapped with an overall 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 4 times the frequency of a Cat 6A or Cat 7 cable
Cons
  • Very expensive

EXCELLENT CAT CABLE - Works great with the Unifi 10Gb Switch

I recently upgraded my home network with a Ubiquiti 10 Gigabit switch that acts as a layer between my local production and development servers . 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…

Pros
  • PoE plus Advantage allows the Cat 8 cable to support 280 wires versus 101 wires in a Cat 6A bundle; Withstands higher temperatures up to 75Β°C with 100W power transfer
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
