Was looking for a 5M Cat 6 (or above) cable, came across this one, seems like a killer price for an extra metre.. and who can say no so a bit more length.

Edit: A fair bit of other cheap cables from CableCreation here as part of the daily deals.

Also as 4kbargain mentions below.

25ft/7.62m is also on sale for 1$ more. $10.77 with 50% off

    It is a crime to sell anything measured not in the metric system in Aus.

    Doesn't look to be thick enough to be Cat8 - I doubt it'll work at 40Mbps, but then again most people don't even have 2.5Gbe adapters either, so likely fine for most people.

      It will work, this is likely 26 or 28awg, but if someone wants thick CAT8 Cable of the highest quality, search for 22awg CAT8, they're very expensive though. Definitely not needed at this small of a distance.

      “I doubt it'll work at 40Mbps”
      Do you mean 40Gbps?

      • Switchblade88 on 11/01/2023 - 13:20

        Lol yeah

        …but then again, maybe I'm still right??

    • buckethat on 11/01/2023 - 18:34

      Just got it, its a bit thicker than the cat 5Es that I have lying around.. I have no need for anything beyond gigabit as none of my gears support anything beyond that anyway.

      No way for me to really verify the Cat 8 claim printed on the cable but honestly.. for this price and length, it'll do. Least I'm getting better latency now.

  • johnnytran on 10/01/2023 - 23:19

    Need 10-12m. I have one of those flat ethernet cables off ebay, not sure if they're reliable. Any recommendations for a quality but affordable one or are they all the same? I think this one I use doesn't "click" into the ethernet socket on my router any more, poor design

      UGREEN make quality cables, they have a bunch of their Cat6/7 cables discounted on Amazon too.

    • figlia on 11/01/2023 - 08:44

      if you are not planning to move cable a lot, there is very little difference in them.
      connectors are usually 1st to go but again if you not planning to connect disconnect multiple times a day, you should be fine.

  • Classo on 10/01/2023 - 23:38

    Currently getting 260Mbps; am I understanding this right - this cable is overkill for my current speed? We'd need to get 40,000 Mbps to achieve what this cable maximum speed is?

      If you don’t know what cat 8 is you don’t need it. Cat6 is perfectly good for 99.9% of home users. The other 0.1% needs cat6A.

      Nothing really uses cat 8. Anything above 10gb is either DAC cables or fibre optic. Cat 8 here is simply for marketing because 8 > 6.

        Facts.

    • Jimbuscus on 10/01/2023 - 23:49

      260MBPS is you WAN speed, you also have your LAN local speed between devices. The difference between 1GBPS and higher locally is negligible for home use.

      Another thing higher category cables have is signal strength over distances, but up to 50M that's another thing you don't need higher than CAT5e/CAT6.

      For the most part this is just a good deal as CAT8 should be more expensive and it doesn't hurt having a higher CAT for the same price, even if you will likely have a bottleneck with a 1GBPS port along the line.

      You tend to keep these types cables for 10+ years around the house, I am now throwing out CAT5 non e if I come across one.

      You don't need Cat8 cable at home. OP explained why he was interested, for a longer LAN cable, you generally want a higher grade cable. Cat8 is an overkill, but given majority of these cables are not certified, and we don't have the equipment to test, the thinking is generally, if it is rated Cat8, it probably would be Cat7 safe.

    I didn't even know Cat 8 existed, or Cat 7 for that matter lol. Still using Cat 5e.
