Folishine Ethernet Cable 25 Ft, Cat 8/7 High Speed

Its very well made and works perfect!

The good, the bad and the ugly:

The Good: Flat cable is to die for. Runs easily under carpet and some types of trim that simply can’t be done with round cable. Doing my homework prior to purchase, the reviews on Cat 7 cables varied, mostly due to advice that centered several brands not having the standard RJ45 connection, although these did. There are other brands that offered flat cables, but I didn’t notice any that were competitive with these.

While I do have concerns about whether this brand actually supports Cat 8—see the additional comments below—the competitors offering Cat 8 neither had flat cable nor were competitively priced. I’m taking a chance on how much this cable will actually deliver Cat 8 performance and how long before I would need more enhanced cable but in terms of cost-benefit analysis, these cables were too good not to take into careful consideration.

The Bad: Could have had more cable staples. It’s good that they were even included, so I’ll give ‘em credit for that. The run was in a crawl space, which I always suspend the application. The flat cable did slide easily once the OEM staple was driven in, but I had to dip into a competitor brand that I had to make sure that the staple didn’t go in too tight on the cable. Just a few more staples would have ensured both a more uniform suspension and ease of slightly shifting the line if necessary.

You may not need cable staples with your application, but if you do, make sure you even them out to determine if you have enough. You may like a tighter clamp on cable suspension but between wanting to still move the cable after suspension and not wanting too tight of a clamp on flat cable, then you may wish to plan accordingly.

The Ugly: The cable is advertised as “Cat 8/Cat 7,” but the stamp on the cable itself clearly states “Cat 7.” The ad does state “Supports Cat 8/Cat 7,” but I find that statement rather suspect. Is it Cat 7 or Cat 8? Cat 7 has different specs than Cat 8, including limitations on length for the best efficiency for Cat 8. If it was Cat 8 capable, wouldn’t they just market it as Cat 8?

If you’re like me, you only want to run cable once and have infrastructure already in place to be ready for even faster tech in the future. That’s not to mention only having to run cable once and be done with it for awhile. With my current fiber package, this cable is doing just fine. I did try to choose carefully with future needs in mind. Yet, I am fully aware that I am taking the chance that if the advertised claim doesn’t live up to the hype of “supporting Cat 8” in the future, then it will be too late to write a review about it.

Flat cable so easy to “hide” under mats, RJ45 connectors look and feel of good quality as does the cable itself. Comes with plastic clips with a nail (approx 20) to secure cable if required. Arrived on time, manufacturers packaging is good. Haven’t tested its performance as yet but at cat7 should be great. Any problems that arise I’ll report back on.

I got this to run a direct line from our router to my office since we couldn’t get great wi-fi coverage even with an extender (plus I prefer a hardline connection for PCs anyway so work was a great excuse to do this). I ultimately installed these under trim/carpeting edges as best as possible (also running an extended HDMI cord in the same spot). I liked the fact that this was a flatter wire and was easier to run where I was running to since there was already one wire being run over there. No cracks formed going around corners or anything like that, so no worries right now about it getting worn down in the near future at least.

For the connection, I have this running from an TP Link AX-55 to a 1gbps on-board ethernet port on my motherboard. Paying for 1000mb service. Speedtest nets roughly 830mbps, I know there is a device or two running in the background right now, so speeds are about right for what I would expect (60′ cable).

On the cable itself, it does have “Cat 7” on there. I can’t confirm that much less Cat 8, but it’s perfect for what I’m using right now and at the price point consider this a great buy.
