Review on ๐Ÿฑ Ultimate Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 50 ft Shielded, 40Gbps 2000Mhz SFTP Patch Cord for High-Speed LAN Network - In-wall, Outdoor, Weatherproof Rated for Router, Modem, Gaming by Patrick Reynolds

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent cable, questionable speed

Excellent quality cable at a great price, although the speed is disabled (see photo and details below). The ethernet cable comes with plastic clips and nails to nail the cable in place if you wish. (nice addition). The quality of the cable is good, although I'm not sure if it's safe enough to use outdoors or underground in the grass. I would recommend a thicker or stronger layer of PVC for this, but that's just my two cents. After running speed tests using this 50ft Cat 8 cable, my laptop's WiFi adapter (Intel AC 8265), and the 6ft Cat 5e cable, I found that with the Cat 5e -Cable higher speeds were achieved. I've also attached a screenshot as proof. This may be due to signal loss as the cable is 50 feet long compared to a 6 foot Cat 5e cable. The Cat 8 cable was still able to achieve excellent results on the tested 1Gbps signal. While there is no screenshot for another test I ran, I was able to get better results compared to a 50ft Cat 5e cable. All in all a great cable for the price.
