If you don't want to fall for a scam, buy Cat 6 cables and avoid these cables!
I bought two of these "Cat 8" cables for the ethernet cable between my router and modem, and between the router and computer. The original cable between my modem and router was a Cat 5e cable that was provided for by the manufacturer of the router. The cable between my router and my computer is a Cat 6 cable from Best Buy. Before I installed both of these cables, I had no issues with streaming, playing video games, and other devices connected to the same network. After installing these two cables, I've had nothing but issues with these cables. They should NOT be sold on the market as Cat 8 standards as they feel stiff and very light as if there are no cables inside. You WILL get severe packet loss on this cables, will drop the connections to streams, at any moment. I've had these longer than the 30 day return policy. I thought it was my computer itself as I uninstalled all networking drivers, followed by reinstalling, and flashed the latest firmware onto the router. I wish I could return these cables as the manufacturer's words do not back up their product. The only words they provide is a FLUKE test that was most likely flawed.
