Smolink Ethernet Cable 50 FT, Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 2000Mhz 40Gbps, Internet Cable Professional Flat LAN Cable SFTP Patch Cord with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector for Router Modem, White

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We use Ethernet from our PS5 to our EERO to prevent lag when playing Fortnite. The PS5 was often giving us LAN connectivity errors. This cable fixed the glitch. Have been using it for months without a single error. I like the orange ends which stand out and make this cable easily identifiable. I also like how it’s white and flat. I got some cheap cable clips from the dollar store and it fits right in them and sits flush against our white molding.

Excellent product :) well packaged, clean and as described.

This cable does the job when the WiFi just won’t cut it.

Work very well but watch for kinks when installing.

Have this running from router to switch. Getting 2+Gb speeds from my 2gig service. Had this wire for 6+ months now.

Excellent way to have a router sit more centrally in the home compared to where modem sits without losing stability of hardwired connection. Flat cable allows for easily hideable cable management. Upgraded from CAT6 and notice a difference.

Updates 11/19/20Both cables cat 8 50ft and 3ft cat 8 working weird but it turned out to be my ax 1500 overload. I didn't even download anything big the last few weeks except development tools mx linux update, ide, python libraries,java ide, etc. After reboot it is alright again. Lesson I learned is, i need a better router that could pump out more bandwidth. On my other distro on centos 8, i removed the ip link thinking that something messing it up but losing the ethernet connection. Now i have to reconfigure it again.UPDATES: I actually bought a 50 ft and a 3 ft. Will buy more!Thank you for the nice item. I recently upgraded my Internet service to 400 Mbps 2 days ago. Before that my service was 100 Mbps. It is hard to simulate the pre-400 Mbps service. I didn't keep record (screen captures) and if I did they are somewhere. I like the flat cable because it is easier to setup. I can tape it to the wall and it can go below the door without the worry of ripping it up. Simply amazing. I am hoping it will last and for the price, it really worth it. What I need is to get a 2.5 Gbps LAN card. Look below for the Pro for these cables.100 Mbps serviceWi-FiWith just Wi-Fi, I am mostly between 60 Mbps to 100 Mbps depending on distance. At 5ghz is is faster obviously but with 2.4 ghz sometimes it fell below 60 Mbps or around 20 to 30 Mbps. However, with 2.4 ghz, I am getting a greater distance thus I it is suitable for my IOT devices. I also have AC1200 extender I am using at my garage.EthernetI was connected to AC1900 extender using cat7 with AC1900 connected to AX1500 through wi-fi.I was consistently getting between 80 Mbps and 110 Mbps.400 Mbps serviceDownload and Upload speed varies every time you are testing them due to various reasons.Wi-Fiac1900 extender, 5ghz, wi-fi alone - 106.6 Mbps, 19.5 Mbpsax1500, 5ghz, wi-fi alone - 178.1 Mbps, 19.0 MbpsThe day before I was getting above 200 Mbps consistently but today it is 170 Mbps to 180 Mbps. I simply paid for the upgrade service online and waited for the router to reboot itself. The process was around 4 to 5 minutes or so.Cat 8 - Smolinkac1900 extender, 5ghz, cat 7 - 413.9 Mbps, 23.6 Mbpsax1500, 5ghz, cat 8 - 489.4 Mbps, 23.6 MbpsI am planning to get a 2.5 Gbps LAN adapter and at least an AX6000 router (with DDOS protection, WPA3 and other good stuffs) and above. Someday in the future I will upgrade to 940 Mbps service. They said they don't have a contract so you can turn it on and off. With 2.5 Gbps and security features, I could run my web server and other servers with less worry. Now, I need to upgrade my own firewall device using RPI4.Update: 12/1/2021These cables are still running great. I haven't upgrade my router yet because of the strong signals. However, I might have to upgrade them now since I am planning to add 11 new security cameras and 14 security devices around my house and compounds. I bought them during Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals from Amazon, Woot and Sam's Club. My current router even with the extenders might not able to maintain consistent bandwidth with so many devices.

Not use this for POE it’s flexible installs easily. It’s easy to use. Works well. Good value for the money. Good cable quality.
