DacrownCat 8 Ethernet Cable 30 ft Shielded, Indoor&Outdoor, Heavy Duty High Speed Direct Burial 26AWG Network Wire, 40Gbps 2000Mhz SFTP Patch Cord, in Wall&Weatherproof RJ45 Cable for Router/Modem

So the cables are great and work perfect! The ends, at least on the ones I got, don’t match the picture, but they are fine and will work for most home purposes.Having said that….I didn’t need cat-8 nor do most people! Anyway, I thought having it under the house would make it so I didn’t need to ever do this again - run network wires in the crawlspace and into the walls above. Plus, I was reluctant to put connectors on the bare ware - cat-#.But, after further research, no(!), I didn’t need it. And connecting rj45’s, onto cat-6 and below, is easy enough with the right tools and the university of YouTube. I had a lot more to do, so I bought some cat6a shielded, didn’t need that either, and did some long runs all under 200 feet. The shielded makes it difficult to connector the rj45’s, but just that.Trying to put a rj45 on the end of a cat-8 is a different story and more expensive.So, long story short, if you have to have cat-8 and don’t want to mess with connectors, they are great and I would buy them again if I had those requirements.

Overall, ethernet cable is a good investment for those who want a reliable, high-speed connection. They are well-made, durable, and future-proof, and they can significantly improve your internet speeds.The cables are available in a variety of lengths, so you can choose the one that is best for your needs. I purchased a 100ft cable.Cable was of high-quality materials and built to withstand heavy use. Almost compatible with a wide range of devices, including computers, routers, and gaming consoles.It can significantly improve your internet speeds, especially if you have a high-speed internet plan or you're using a Wi-Fi backhaul for your wifi mesh system.If you are looking for a reliable, high-speed ethernet cable, I recommend these cables. They are a good value for the price and will provide you with years of trouble-free use. Also, be aware not to bend them too sharply or yank them out of the wall as it may compromise signal integrity.Make sure to choose a cable that is the correct category for your needs. Cat5e cables are sufficient for most home networks(generally 1 gig upto few ft. For 25-50 ft, go for cat 6, 75-150 ft go for cat 8 and above 150ft you're better off using a fiber. Official numbers are different from practical use.), but if you have a high-speed internet plan, you may want to consider a Cat6(upto 10 gig) or Cat8 cable(upto 40gig).If you are going to use a long ethernet cable, you may need to use a signal booster(e.g switch) to ensure that the signal remains strong. However, I strongly recommend going the fiber route. Fiber optical cables are expensive and are of different kinds but will provide the best results.

Bought many of the cat 8 cables to connect decos and unmanaged switches together. Cables are made of very good quality and they are doing what they are intended for.

Awesome Awesome Product! Excellent for Gaming, Fast Shipping, Delivered with care!

First time reviewing a product. I purchased the 150 ft version of this cable and was able to get expected speeds from my network. Only issue I had was the packaging with the zip ties were too tight on the cable.

Nice quality and the choice of length for what you need. Fast shipping.

The product came as described and did the trick. We hooked our XBox directly into the router to get great speed.

The cable is made well, cable is flexible yet is a quality thickness. Great value for the price!

I'm coming from a basic cat5 cable so this cable is a huge upgrade for me. The gold connector is a mich better conductor for the electron flow. Not sure that we really need the cable but I decided I wanted to upgrade the "little things". Sometimes improving small things can make a big difference. I'm routing the cable from a room upstairs to a modem downstairs and it works perfectly. Comes with some brackets for easier routing.

Looks to be very well made and effective.

It worked with me, I’ve changed my cable from Cat5 to 8 and now the internet is very fast

I've been using this ethernet cable for over a year now, and I have to say that it's been great in terms of speed and durability. The transfer speeds are fast and reliable, and I haven't experienced any lag or drops in connection during my gaming and streaming sessions. The cable itself is also very durable and well-made, which is a definite plus.However, one issue that I've encountered is that the plastic clip that holds the cable in the port snapped after about a year of use. I didn't even move it around or out of the port much, so I was surprised that it broke so easily. Without the clip, the cable doesn't function properly, which is a major downside. - For a cable advertised as durable for all conditions, it definitely seems to uphold that, but maybe some efforts could be put into a revised clip.Overall, while this ethernet cable is great in terms of speed and durability, the plastic clip issue is a bit of a letdown. If you're willing to replace the cable every year or so, then it's still a solid option. However, if you're looking for a cable that will last longer, it may be worth investing in a higher-quality option.

Had lag while gaming on wifi in the new house…bought this cable, tucked it under the baseboards so it’s not noticeable, now I have fast gaming internet with no lag.
