> 3 dayMy husband is radiologist who works from home. In order to transfer CT and MRI scans from the hospital network to his home workstation (6 monitors!!!) we need commercial-grade internet connectivity. With a recent hospital PACS system upgrade he needed a higher caliber ethernet cable. Although Cat 8 is way over-engineered and overkill it definitely works and is future-proofing his workstation.

Greater than one weekThis 50-foot ethernet cable is top-quality. While Ive got no test to prove its made off oxygen-free copper, I can say it does facilitate high-speed data transfer. Connected to a gigabit ethernet switch, uploads and downloads are fast, and precise- even at the 50-foot length of this cable! Construction quality is the real story, though. This cable is professional-quality, featuring a THICK PVC jacket, gold-plated shielding on the connectors, and plastic reinforcement boots where the cable meets the connectors. The cable is thick, but highly-compliant- for easy runs, and the connectors look and feel robust. As a nice touch, the cable came with a packet of 15 cable clips, with tacks. This is a very nice cable.

> 3 dayThis is some seriously well made ethernet cable. If youre upgrading to a higher throughput cable, youve come to the right spot, as this is the highest speed cable spec you can at the moment -- Cat 8. I got this MEIPEK cable replace some ancient Cat 5 cable for my home setup as Im planning to upgrade my local LAN to 10 gigabits this year. I do not have that installed yet so I cannot test that level of throughput but can vouch for it handling gigabit just fine. I can also attest to the high build quality, so I feel like youre getting value for money with this brand. The pricing is competitive, so even if you do not have immediate plans for higher than gigabit, why would you go for a lower standard now? The only potential downside to this cable would be that it is the standard thick round form factor. Depending on where you plan to install the cable, one of the flat style cables might work better. Im not reducing my rating of 5 stars for that since it is a known feature, and doesnt matter for my installation. There are plenty of competitors in this market, so I cant say that it is better than all the rest, but I can say that I doubt any are better.

Greater than one weekGreat quality cable with properly terminated ends with snag relief. Its a thick, robust cable and I ran it from one side of my house to my garage- because the computer and TV in the garage work great on a cable and it gets some devices off my wireless. Wired is always better! The included clips come in handy to keep it tucked where it needs to be, and in my installation they came in very handy as I routed it through the utility room and tacked the cable to the rafters so it looks professionally done and wont be in the way. I was in I.T. for many years and know a decent quality cable when I see it- and this one is great, and a great value. Not having to make my own cable is a great bonus when they are this inexpensive.

> 3 dayVery heavy-duty cable that can be buried. Includes some nail-in wall clips to help manage routing.

> 3 dayThis appears to be a really well made cable. It is very flexible and easy to run. The connectors are sturdy. Transfer rate is at the max of my system. Don’t have the equipment to do a technical performance evaluation but I suspect it would perform very well.

> 3 dayThis 50 ft. cable has a good weight to it due to the purity of the copper wires it uses. The connectors and boots are done well. Im sure this cable is going to last for many years to come. It was nice to have some cable clamp/mounts included in case you want use them. Im very pleased with this cable and happy that I got it.

> 3 dayWow. I dont know why I havent gotten this sooner. I was using wifi for my xbox series x thinking that was fine since I have fiber optic internet. I went from 200ish Mbps to around 500+ Mbps speed after installing this Cat 8 cable to it. I also replaced my cable going from the fiber optic receiver with Cat 8 wire, never trusting the cables that the provide since they are usually on the cheaper side. Definitely high quality, and the hooks to help run the wire are very handy.

Greater than one weekWorks exactly like youd think it would. Fastest I can test it with is a 1Gb/s connection speed, but its been working great so far.

> 3 dayThis is premium top of the line Cat 8 Ethernet cable at a great price. The cabling even comes with wall clips to fasten the line along the edge if needed. Nice product and allowed for fast speeds with no intermittent issues. You cant go wrong with this product if you require 30ft worth of Ethernet cable. I will definitely buy this again if I find myself needing to run another line.
