Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 40Gbps / 2000MHz Cat8 rating headroom over Cat6 and Cat7 gear
  • ✓ 30 cable clips bundled free, enough to tack down a full 100 ft run
  • ✓ Flat profile runs under carpet and along baseboards without bulk
  • ✓ 100% bare copper with FTP shield and gold-plated RJ45 ends

Cons

  • ✗ 100 ft flat cable is awkward to shorten or re-terminate yourself
  • ✗ Cat8 speeds need 40GbE switches and NICs most homes don't own
  • ✗ PVC jacket is weather-tolerant, not rated for direct burial
  • ✗ Flat design won't seat in round-cable clips or standard raceway

Manufacturer description

The Ercielook CAT8 Ethernet Cable 100 ft is built for runs where Wi-Fi gives up: a 2000MHz, 40Gbps-rated flat patch cord that snakes along baseboards, under carpet, and out to a detached garage or backyard office. The flat profile is the reason most buyers pick it. Instead of a thick round jacket you fight into a corner, this Ercielook cable lies nearly invisible against a wall, and the 30 included clips let you tack down the full 100 feet without buying extra hardware. Inside, it uses 100% bare copper conductors with an FTP shield, HDPE insulation, and gold-plated RJ45 connectors, so long…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Ercielook CAT8 Ethernet Cable 100 ft using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. Ercielook's networking lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for networking of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Cat8 cable actually give me faster internet?

Not on its own. It is rated for 40Gbps at 2000MHz, but your speed is capped by your ISP plan and by your router and NIC ports, which are usually 1GbE or 2.5GbE. What Cat8 buys you is headroom and shielding on a 100 ft run.

Can I run this cable outside between two buildings?

Yes for above-ground runs. Ercielook rates the PVC jacket to withstand direct sunlight plus extreme cold, humid, and hot weather, and the cord for at least 10,000 bends. It is not listed as direct-burial rated, so route it along a fence, wall, or conduit.

Does it work with my older Cat5e or Cat6 router?

Yes. It is backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7 equipment and uses standard RJ45 ends, so it drops into switches, routers, adapters, modems, and patch panels. The link negotiates to whatever your slowest device supports.

Is 100 ft too long for gaming latency?

No. Copper Ethernet at this length adds well under a millisecond, and the FTP shielding with 100% bare copper conductors is what keeps a 100 ft run clean. A wired 100 ft link still beats Wi-Fi across a house for consistency.

Can it really go under a carpet or rug?

That is what the ultra-thin flat design is for. It lies flat under carpet and lines up against walls without tangling, and the 30 included clips secure it along the route. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
