My stepson who is a high end video editor uses cable matters cables, so now so do I.

Immediate stability and speed increases to both devices these are plugged into directly from modem. Excellent quality. 999mbps to my Xbox which was a 150mbps increase from CAT5E cables.

These cables work well. There is not a lot to say about them other than I have no complaints about this brand and any of the other items I have purchased from them

Not impressed with the way the cable looks, it looks like it was manufactured in a garage.The odd thing is that the cable is thinner than my current MonoCable Cat6 cable. I was not expecting that.The download speed for my so called 1Gig Internet was 890 with the Cat6 cable and tested at 899 with this Cat8 Cable.Disappointed to say the least.Update:While I am returning the cable my set-up doesn't require a Cat8 so I probably wouldn't see much of a difference even with another brand.CableMatters Customer Service is good so I am upgrading to 3 Stars. I do think the build quality could be better.

These are pretty good cat 8 Ethernet cables. Quality is pretty good the ends of them are solid. I’m getting full speed no issue with anything like that. They came packaged nicely and for the price you can’t go wrong. Very satisfied with these

Does what it's supposed to tested and work well. Not sure about 40Gb as ethernet generally don't exceed more than 13-14Gb depending on distance.

Finally upgraded from Cat 5 to these. I run multiple Synology and Western Digital back up devices with gigabit switches. Transfer speeds have increased dramatically.

Ich bin mit den Cat8-Netzwerkkabeln sehr zufrieden. Die Leistung beim Cat 8 Standard ist sehr viel höher als beim Vorgänger und die Cat 8 Kabel sind vollständig abgeschirmt um elektromagnetische Interferenzen zu minimieren. Verwendet wird dieser Standard hauptsächlich in Rechenzentren. Für die Heimanwendung sind sie völlig überdimensioniert und bieten gegenüber Cat 7 und Cat 6 quasi keine Vorteile.Entsprechend reichen sie für meine Zwecke (als Heimanwender) mehr als aus und das Potential für eine höhere Leistung ist ja auch nichts schlechtes.Probleme hatte ich mit den Kabeln keine, es gibt keine Verarbeitungsfehler und sie funktionieren einwandfrei. Sie sind dick und wirken robust und langlebig. Der Preis geht meiner Meinung nach in Ordnung. Wobei ich allerdings nicht verstehe wieso er bei den längeren Kabeln so stark ansteigt, denn das "teure" sind die Verbindungsstecker, nicht das Kabelmaterial. Ich glaube hier geht die Gewinnmarge schon hoch - sieht allerdings so aus, als würden das die anderen Hersteller auch so handhaben.Fazit: hochwertiges Kabel, ich bin zufrieden. Wer Geld sparen möchte wird mit Cat 6 oder 7 nichts falsch machen und keine Nachteile haben.

Livrées par deux, ils sont blindés, pas trop gros, assez souples et de très bonne qualité dans leur assemblage.Ils me servent à connecter mon NAS ainsi qu'un PiHole derrière un switch.Les débits sont bons et atteignaient (et tiennent) sans soucis le 1gb/s.La catégorie 8 permet théoriquement bien plus, mais je sature déjà les ports de mon switch RJ45 qui n'à pas de ports 2.5Gb/s.La longueur des câbles est très agréable, assez courte pour un management propre et suffisamment long pour ne pas s'énerver en réalisant les connexions 🙂Matters propose donc ici une (très) bonne paire de câbles RJ45 catégorie 8.

Ce câble de catégorie 8 certifié est prêt pour passer à des débits allant jusqu’à 40Gb/s (norme de la catégorie 8). Je n’ai pas l’équipement nécessaire pour le tester à de tels débits (seulement 10Gb/s), mais c’est un investissement pour l’avenir proche avec la généralisation du 10Gb/s même en utilisation domestique en remplacement du 1Gb/s actuel.Le câble est assez flexible malgré le blindage et facile à enrouler sans l’abîmer. Les connecteurs sont de qualité, les contacts sont dorés, avec un ergot en plastique souple protégeant le clip de blocage en plastique rigide de la prise, parfois fragile sur certains câbles.Utilisé en remplacement de câbles de génération précédente, il me permet d'utiliser tout le potentiel de mes équipements semi-professionnels. En longueur 0,9m il est parfait pour du brassage ou des raccordements courts (box vers switch et serveurs) sans devoir enrouler le surplus de câble.Il est de plus rétro-compatible avec des débits inférieurs sur un réseau équipé en catégorie 6 par exemple. Un bon choix de produit.

With overflow of cheap Chinese cables, this product stands out on the quality and durability. Design somewhat outdated but it does not affect excellent functionality.

The computer system in question is basically an Asus, with an Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi motherboard, which has a 2.5Gbps LAN port. I have 1.2Gbps internet service with all Ethernet cables connected to a Switch with10Gbps. At best the internet download speeds on this system were running at 0.74Gbps/740Mbps. I tried updating the drivers, restarting everything, and such but nothing worked.Then I tried one of these cables and the speeds went up to 1.4Gbps. Sometimes, the best thing to do when troubleshooting is replace the cables with something more reliable.

It says "CAT8", but I would consider this more like a CAT6A cable that can do up to 2000mhz Class I frequency. CAT7 isn't real.I don't think "CAT8" will really be a thing either since SFP optical will likely take over after 10G copper. 10G already gets hot as it is... Optical Fiber is end game.Has normal connector termination opposed to "Modular Plug Terminated Link" found on the more expensive CAT 8 cables.Likely better than Cable matters brand own 6A cables since it has a 75C thermal rating. The pictures for the 6A only show 60C and SSTP.. I wanted real S/FTP.. so I went with this.It's also the latest ANSI/TIA-568.2-D spec. Not sure If I just got a newer batch since listing says C.2-1.Only 26AWG, but the cable is thick given its S/FTP... 24 AWG or 22 AWG would be too thick with S/FTP spec... 28 AWG has been certified for official 2.D spec... so this 26 AWG 2.D cable is pretty much perfect IMO.Quality cable for 10G copper ethernet ports.
