minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months ago… I mean, it’s Ali express… if you’re asking if cat8 is good, it’s completely overkill. If you’re asking if this specific listing is good, maybe? But it could be shitty and mislabeled. Cables are something that don’t matter much, so you don’t need expensive ones, but you do t want to be so cheap it has problems. Like, maybe someone got a whole bunch of flawed cat8 for almost nothing and they’re selling it. You don’t want to fuck with running 100 feet and finding out somewhere in there, there’s a link under the rubber.
