Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 16.5 FT, Nylon Woven High Speed Cat8 Network Cable LAN Cable Wire, SFTP RJ45 40Gbps 2000Mhz Ethernet Cable Patch Cord, Indoor Outdoor for Modem/PS3/4/5/Xbox/Router/Gaming/PC

These are relatively flat, but with the cloth cover they are thicker than some other flat cables. The shielding and extra twists for Cat8 level make these a somewhat stiff cable and the anti-snag feature means you cant bend the cable directly off of the connector very well so if you need to make a sharp right angle turn just away from the jack, it wont work very well without an adapter to make the right angle.

It works great!

I am replacing my cat 6 cables ,since getting my new wi-fi 6 router,These cat8 cables are a very decent quality,especialy for the money.

Nice quality CAT6 works well and looks very nice. Not good for distances. Not a very long cord, but works great.

This is a braided flat Cat 8 Ethernet cable. What Is Cat8 Cable? It is the latest network copper cable, that permits the highest speeds. As technology advances the demand for increased data speeds will continue to grow and manufacturers will continue to develop twisted pair cables that can support even higher speeds. Here are the current Category standards for twisted pair cables: Cat3 – 1 MHz, 10 Mbps Cat5 & Cat5e – 100 MHz, 100 Mbps Cat6 – 250 MHz, 1 Gbps Cat7 – 600 MHz, 10 Gbps Cat7A – 1000 MHz, 10 Gbps+ Cat8 – 2000MHz, 40Gbps Category 8 Standard As you can see by the Category standards above, you can expect CAT 8 to provide the best frequency characteristics, therefore supporting higher speeds of data. Cat8 is capable of supporting bandwidths of up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) for up to 30 meters of cabling. Cat8 can also support 25Gbps/ 40Gbs speeds up to a maximum channel length of 30 meters. The physical appearance of Cat8 cable is similar to lower category cables and still terminated in RJ45 connections. In the case of this cable, it is flat and braided end-to-end, permitting great durability. The RJ45 connected flawlessly with my router and PC with a click. I am not sure if copper wires will continue to evolve into higher speeds and eventually into a cat 9 cable, my guess is that the following step would be an affordable fiber optical Ethernet cable for general use of the public.

The cable seems like its well made. I like the easy to press down tab for easy removal should I need to change ports.

No problem with this Cat8 cable on 2.5GbE. Granted, at 10ft length Cat5e also works fine, but thats the length I tried. 2.37Gbps in both directions, which is the limit of my testing ability on that network, and is the result I was expecting. The flat braid gives it an interesting appearance, so this could be nice if you have a device where the cable is visible, like a wall-mounted access point if you cant put a cable in the wall.

I have another flag network cable, but its a Cat5e. It is too flexible. This cable looks and feels very sturdy. Its flexible in one direction (due to the flat cable design) and rigid the other direction. This is a perfect length to connect my laptop docking station to the Router/switch.

Very tough and durable. Will be acquiring more in the future.

If you want network cables that look good, this is the product to purchase.
