Smolink Ethernet Cable 25 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

Love the quality and flexibility easy to use fit and performance

I bought this cable to extend my Ethernet network from my internet gateway to an adjacent room where my computer is located without drilling through the wall. The flat cable was easy to hide along the edge of the carpet in the first room and then route and tack down along the door frame and baseboard in the computer room.Passing the cable through the doorway was a bit tricky, but I was able to keep it from being impacted by the door whenever I close it. The Ethernet connectors at both ends seem to be well-constructed, though I won't need to disconnect them often. So far, the cable has worked well. I routinely get 1.4 Gbps, which is what my ISP offers at my service tier.

This flat plug was installed under our carpet and is great. No bumps or raised spots. Cable works great.

i’m ngl i use this for my playstation and my connection got way better i had a cat 6 and i upgraded to this. ts good asl

Using it now. Seems to work fine. Supple, soft-feeling cord. My one issue, which I hope doesn't affect its function in the future, is that when prepping it for packaging, the cord is folded in half first, then spiraled into a circle. That caused the cord to have a deep crease and even a nick on the edge. I flattened it out the best I could. Now, I'll wait and see. They prepare it like this because it is faster than spiraling from one end to the other end, but they should take the extra 15 seconds to spiral it without folding it first in order to avoid damaging the wires inside. I am concerned.

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 Mbps The 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.

Great cable at great price
