Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 100FT, High Speed Internet Network Cable

Bottom line: The Ximhun Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 100FT: Rated 40Gbps at 2000MHz bandwidth, well past Cat6 and Cat7 ceilings; main trade-off: 40Gbps needs multi-gig NICs and switches most homes do not have.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Rated 40Gbps at 2000MHz bandwidth, well past Cat6 and Cat7 ceilings
  • ✓ 100FT run reaches rooms a router cannot cover on Wi-Fi
  • ✓ Flat profile slides under carpet and through door gaps without bulging
  • ✓ 30 wall studs included with the 75ft and 100ft lengths

Cons

  • ✗ Flat cable is harder to pull through conduit than round cable
  • ✗ No shielding class (S/FTP vs U/FTP) stated in the listing
  • ✗ 100FT is overkill and adds clutter for a desk-side router run

Manufacturer description

The Ximhun Cat 8 Ethernet Cable gives you a 100-foot run rated for 40Gbps transfer speeds and 2000MHz bandwidth, well above what Cat7, Cat6, and Cat5 cabling carry. That headroom matters if you are backhauling a multi-gig switch to a gaming rig across the house, hardwiring a console instead of fighting Wi-Fi congestion, or pulling a cable to a room your router cannot reach cleanly. The flat profile is the practical selling point at this length. A 100FT round cable is a nuisance to route; this one slips under carpet, along baseboards, and through door gaps without creating a bulge, and the 30…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Ximhun Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 100FT using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. Ximhun'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 actually give me 40Gbps at home?

Only if both endpoints and any switch between them support multi-gig or 40G links. On a typical gigabit router you get gigabit speed; the Cat 8 rating is headroom for future upgrades, not a speed boost on existing gear.

Does 100FT cause signal loss or lag?

Ethernet is specified to 100 meters (about 328 feet), so a 100FT run is well within range. Ximhun rates the cable at 2000MHz bandwidth across its length.

Can I run it under a carpet or through a doorway?

Yes, that is what the flat design targets. It routes under carpet, along baseboards, and through narrow door gaps without the bulge a round cable creates, and Ximhun includes 30 wall studs with the 100ft version to secure the run.

Will it work with my PS4, Xbox, or older Cat6 router?

Yes. The cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6, and Cat5 equipment and is listed for routers, modems, switches, PCs, laptops, PS4, PS3, and Xbox. Speed is limited by the slowest device in the chain.

Is it durable enough to move around or run outdoors?

The nylon braided jacket is rated for at least 10,000 bends, and Ximhun states it holds up to direct sunlight, extreme cold, humidity, and heat. The cable carries RoHS, CE, FCC, and ISO certification. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
