Jadaol Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 100ft (30.48m), 40Gbps 2000MHz Flat S/FTP LAN Patch Cable, High-Speed Cat8 Network Cable for Router, Modem, Switch, Gaming Consoles, PC, Smart TV & Streaming Devices, Black

I picked this cable up to hardwire part of my setup, and it has worked exactly as expected. Installation was simple, the cable was easy to route, and it feels durable without being overly stiff. The length was accurate and gave me plenty of flexibility for cable management. Most importantly, the connection has been stable and reliable with no dropouts or speed issues. If you’re looking for a quality Ethernet cable at a reasonable price, this is a solid choice that gets the job done.

It's flat, not round so lays flat along my baseboard. They even included a box of flat cable racks. Looks nice and works well.

This cable works fantastic. I can now use my laptop upstairs!!

This cable can be easily run along baseboards. It is rigid enough to maintain its shape and not get all wrinkly. But at the same time it is flexible enough that it can easily be shaped to navigate corners. This can be seen in the second photo. (I didn't have time to install the ties yet to affix it to the wall more permanently.) The cable also supports transmission at very fast speeds, which makes it suitable for transmitting video signals from room to room with excellent image quality and no perceptible (to me) latency. The cable appears to include shielding (based on the marketing images), which means there should be less interference between the lanes in the cable. Networking cables contain 2-4 lanes (each of which is a twisted pair of copper wires) that independently transmit data. So it's good to have these lanes be independently shielded. Otherwise the signals from one lane can interfere with signals in other lanes. I really like being able to play video games in both my bedroom and living room from the same PC with no perceptible (to me) latency. And I also don't like to clutter my living room with visible gaming equipment (consoles, PC tower, etc.). So I ran this CAT 8 cable from my living room to my bedroom, where my PC is. And I have a HDMI over CAT transmitter in my bedroom, next to my PC, and a HDMI over CAT receiver in my living room. Therefore the video signals can be sent over this CAT 8 cable. It was important for me to get a quality CAT cable like this one, since the transmitter is sending about 6 to 7 Gigabits per second of data over this cable while I am streaming games. CAT 8 cables have greatly higher bandwidth than previous cables, which can allow higher data transmission rates. The transmitters and receivers are also sending USB signals over the same CAT 8 cable, and I have an attached a USB hub in my TV cabinet. The hub has receivers attached for my mouse, keyboard and game controller. Therefore, my mouse, keyboard, and game controller in my living room are also connected to my PC in my bedroom, with no perceptible (to me) lag. The whole system works more or less perfectly. I can play video games that require precise timing (parrying, etc.) with no concerns about lag whatsoever and great image quality. This cable was a key enabler to that, since I wanted something that could be easily run along the baseboard (so not too thick, easy to bend), but that also had great shielding and components to be able to transmit at a high data rate over a longish (35 ft) distance. If you are curious, I bought my AV transmitter and receivers as a pair from AV Access on Amazon (search Amazon for ASIN:B073B84CY1 and ignore any sponsored results). I bought the USB 2.0 hub in the image elsewhere, but StarTech makes some good USB 2.0 hubs that are sold on Amazon. I like USB 2.0 hubs more than recent ones since I have heard reports that newer hubs can cause interference with USB receivers for keyboards etc due to the higher signaling rate causing interference. And I like externally powered hubs to avoid overdrawing current from the video receiver. I'm also using a HDMI splitter from AV Access so my HDMI signals from my gaming PC goes to both the TV in my bedroom, and also across this link to my living room TV. It's a Samsung QLED TV and a Mopio Ensley Tall TV stand. And I use a USB receiver from May Flash (also bought on Amazon) to allow my game controller to connect to the USB hub. Overall I'm really pleased with this setup. And this cable was a great find to help enable it to work.

I have used a lot of different brands and styles of internet cable over many years, most of it for commercial and broadcast installations. There are only a couple of brand names that have been around seemingly forever and it’s no surprise those are the brands that most professional installers use. But things have changed and most cable is made in China these days and it’s virtually impossible to know who actually makes it for who and the exact specifics about how it’s made. So these days I have been buying cable with an eye to price as long as it performs as it should. This is my first exposure to jadol (small J) brand cables. I became aware of it due to a middle of the night lightning deal from Amazon and it so happened I needed 50’ of white cable for an install that same weekend for a CCTV camera installation. The price was hard to resist. I specifically chose flat cable because when installing outdoor security cameras I wanted cable that is flexible and easy to work with and most importantly, cable that I could hide from view as much as possible. After all, you don’t want the bad guys to be able to easily find your security camera cables and cut them do you? I have worked with flat Ethernet cable before, mostly for indoor home entertainment installations and while logic tells me that they aren’t as well shielded, in reality I never found that to be true. This cable is substantially heavier grade than what I’ve used before and looks very suitable for outdoor use. I am impressed with the attention to detail this brand has … the pins are of much higher precision than anything I’ve seen in this price range. The ends are encapsulated in a rugged metal cage and have excellent fit without any hint of wiggle or looseness. The clips are strong and the clip guard is more robust than the large majority of cables I’ve worked with. For my purposes an Ethernet cable either works or doesn’t work, there is no measurable “better” performance when using different types of Ethernet cables in CCTV installations, so what I was looking for is something that would be usable in the long-term (once I run a length of cable through walls, ceilings, under eves, and so on I don’t want to have to pull it and replace it any sooner than possible. A nice touch is that jadol includes a small bag full of rugged plastic cable clips designed for flat cable. It’s kind of a token because there aren’t enough clips to do an entire 50’ length but it’s the thought that counts and one less trip to the hardware store.

This cable worked really well for running between my router and my gaming desktop on the other side of my basement. I especially liked the flat design for running along the wall and around corners. I recently completed the install after having purchased this cable a few months in advance. I discovered that the cabling only came with 10 clips instead of the 16 clips that were advertised which left me a bit short when doing cable management. Since it was already past the Amazon return window, the only thing I could do was reach out to the manufacturer support. They were very quick and responsive to my inquiry and even shipped me an extra pack of 100 clips to make it right. 5 stars for product quality and excellent customer service.

I ordered the 25 ft Jadaol Cat 8 Ethernet Cable to be shipped next morning between 7am - 11am and it arrived around 8am... the product itself arrived relatively undamaged save for the top left corner; the plastic bubble Amazon shipping bag might have been dropped on the corner... no biggie, the cable arrived without any damage! When I opened the box for the cable, I was surprised how flexible and soft feeling the flat cable was when compared the previous experiences installing Round Rigid Ethernet Cables of the same relative size; Big plus... because it made installation even more simple and easy. Although I will say the flexibility might affect it's durability if the flat cable is pinched, over stretched or crushed. Time will be the ultimate test and I'll update my review on this point later on down the road, it's too early to draw final conclusions on this feature. I made sure to measure the estimated length I needed to install this cable without kinking or pinching the wire itself so my PC could have stable internet during intense Gaming Sessions instead of relying solely on a wireless connection, which boiled down to about 24 ft... the fact this product was sold in increments of 5 ft starting from 1.5, 3, 6, 10 and increased onward in increments of 5 ft or more is an awesome deal for the value of the product. If you're buying a Cat8 Ethernet cable, you're future proofing for high load signal quality; if not you're wasting your time and money on qualities not suited to your specific PC needs... that's my personal opinion ( take with a grain of salt or not, your choice ). I'll be sure to update this review in 1 years time, assuming this same product is still being listed for sale in regards to its durability!! Although nothing should affect the quality of the cable after I installed it, i even made sure to use heat resistant silicone housings, silicone fiberglass heat shielding near heat sources as well as the included pre-nailed wire anchors secured under the floor joists and above the drop ceiling in my basement!! I could have used an extra 5 feet of cable for added peace of mind, the cable is a little short exiting the 1 inch hole leading up to the elevated Router, but that's an oversight on my part; this Ethernet cable worked on the FIRST try... hence my zealous review. Hope this helps solidify someone's decision on purchasing this product !!

Very durable and worked perfect.

It’s exactly the length I needed. The cable is well made and works great!

it's good it's definitely overkill the technology has not gone to this speed yet

Did not work...no connection. Returned.
