Cat8 Flat Ethernet Cable 50 FT Indoor & Outdoor, Invisable Ultra-Thin Ethernet Cable High Speed 40Gbps 2000Mhz, Flexible Shielded Internet Cable, Cat 8 SFTP Network Cable for Home/Office/Gaming, Black

Got the white 50ft variant. Ignoring the poor "photoshop clone tool" image, this cable performed well in my environment. The cable came with the best RJ45 plastic cable end caps I've ever received in with a cable and would be usefully if you're constantly traveling with this cable. The cable didn't have any odor unlike other ethernet cables I've receieved before. The jacket seemed pretty durable and decently flexible (about the thinner axis). The cable has "CAT8 FLAT CABLE 25/40GBase-T 2000MHz" printed on it. I only have the ability to test to up to 10gb transfer speeds.I tested the cable between my PCs 10gb NIC (OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock) to my server (Intel X520-T2) hosting OpenSpeedTest (with a 10gb switch in between) and I got the same typically transfer speeds compared to a known good 10gb-capable cable.I've recently learned that the Thunderbolt 3 protocol has some quirks when using both DisplayPort and a 10gb ethernet networking at the same time. The gist of it is that the DisplayPort signal takes priority over 10gb networking since networking has the ability to have a temporary buffer where as the DisplayPort protocol doesn't have a buffer and needs to be sent ASAP. Since I'm running a DisplayPort monitor (4K at 60Hz) though the Thunderbolt 3 dock at the same time when running the network speed test, the download gets close to 10gb while the upload gets significantly less, which is why I can't fully confirm if it the upload would also get 10 gb, but it definitely supports at least 5gb. As always, when doing testing it's dependent on a lot of things like hardware, compatibility, software versions, environment, etc. so I can only provide one data point.

I was so over that bright blue cable snaking through my office like an eyesore from the early 2000s. Enter this 50-foot Cat 8 cord—sleek, black, and exactly the length I needed to run from my router into my game room/office setup without having to play "let's rearrange the furniture" every time I wanted a clean look.Performance-wise? No complaints. My connection has been rock solid whether I’m in the middle of a lag-free Call of Duty marathon or uploading massive files for work. This thing means business. It’s built thick and sturdy, not that flimsy, knotted up nonsense that curls up like a party streamer after five minutes.Visually, it blends right in. The black color keeps things looking clean and intentional instead of chaotic and clunky. It’s not doing the most, but it is doing exactly what I needed without making itself the main character of the room.Bottom line: It’s durable, discreet, and delivers the speed I want with zero drama.

CAT 8 is always a bit inflexible. Yes, you get longer runs at higher speeds, but it's harder to run the cable because of the stiffer gauge wire. The flat profile cables do help and make it easier to run the cable, and I do prefer them to the round profile. This is not a luxury cable - this is a cable you run through unfinished spaces where it won't be seen, and it works just fine. Plus the cable is marked with the grade, which I always encourage makers to do. I don't want to have to guess what a cable is a few years later. Tested at my max network speed of 10GbE, the cable performed nominally with no unexpected drops or retries.

The package arrived quickly and was minimally packaged, which I appreciate. I had it mounted within 30 minutes after package arrived. The flat Ethernet cable is excellent, especially when paired with cable concealers to reduce the need for cable nails. Its flat design ensures a neat and tidy wiring setup. For certain mounting area, I used double-sided tape, which adhered securely thanks to the cable’s flat and reasonably wide surface. In addition to traditional cable nails and concealers, this tape option provides extra flexibility for clean wiring runs. I highly recommend this flat Ethernet cable to anyone looking for a clean network wiring solution.

The cable came shrink wrapped in a roll with plastic covers over the ends. I really like the shielded connectors and everything is nice and slim. The flat cable is great if that's what you're looking for. The cable is a little bit on the stiffer side but nothing unusual. I'm only able to test up to 2.5G and I'm getting really close speeds, dependent on time of day for my isp.

Cat8 - 40 GBps capable - not that you need it (but if you're reading this, maybe you do?) - in a unique, flat package. The ends and cable appear to be very nice quality. I cannot test it at full 40 GBps, but it works at 10 GBps perfectly.

I recently got a 50ft Cat8 flat ethernet cable for my home office setup, and it’s absolutely phenomenal. This cable delivers blazing-fast speeds up to 40Gbps, handling everything from gaming to 8K streaming without a hitch. The flat design is a game-changer, sliding easily under carpets and along walls for a clean, clutter-free look. The connectors are sturdy, ensuring a secure fit, and the durable, flexible material holds up perfectly even with frequent movement. It’s reliable, high-performing, and worth every penny—five stars all the way!

This is well made ethernet cable. The ends are securely attached, which is always a weak area in cheaper cable. These are well made, for sure.
