Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 50FT, High Speed Internet Network Cable

Bottom line: The Ximhun Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 50FT: 40Gbps rated at 2000MHz bandwidth, above Cat7, Cat6 and Cat5 ceilings; main trade-off: 50FT is long for a desk-to-router hop; excess has to be routed or coiled.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✗ Console list names PS4, PS3 and Xbox, with no PS5 or Series X confirmation

Manufacturer description

The Ximhun Cat 8 Ethernet Cable stretches 50 feet across a room, under a carpet, or down a hallway without turning your setup into a tangle. It's rated for data transfer up to 40Gbps at 2000MHz bandwidth, well above what Cat7, Cat6, and Cat5 cabling handles, so it has headroom for multi-gig routers, NAS transfers, and lag-sensitive online play long after your ISP plan changes. The flat profile is the practical draw here. A nylon braided outer jacket wraps the conductors, and the low-profile shape slides under doors, along baseboards, and beneath rugs where a round cable would bulge. Ximhun…

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cat 8 actually faster than the Cat 6 cable I already have?

The cable is rated for 40Gbps at 2000MHz, versus lower ceilings on Cat7, Cat6 and Cat5. That's headroom in the cable, not a boost to your internet plan, so it matters most for multi-gig LAN transfers between local devices.

Will this fit under a carpet or door without a gap?

That's the design intent. The flat profile is made to pass through narrow spaces like carpets and doors, and the nylon braided jacket protects it where a round cable would bulge or crease.

Do I get mounting clips with the 50FT version?

Yes. Ximhun includes 30 wall studs with the 50ft and 60ft lengths. The 25ft and 40ft lengths ship with 15, and the 75ft and 100ft lengths also ship with 30.

Can I run this outside or through a garage?

The listing states it withstands direct sunlight, extreme cold, humidity and hot weather and continues to work. For a buried or permanent exterior install, confirm suitability with the manufacturer first.

Does it work with my router and game console?

It uses standard RJ45 ends and is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6 and Cat5 equipment, covering routers, modems, switches, PCs, laptops, and PS4, PS3 and Xbox consoles.
