The kenable Cat8 flat networking cable is designed for power users, gamers, and professionals who demand high-speed connectivity and minimal latency in their home or office networks. It offers the industry-leading benefit of 40Gbps data throughput and 2000MHz bandwidth, making it an excellent choice for future-proofing your setup; however, its flat design, while convenient for routing under carpets, may be more susceptible to physical damage if pinched or bent excessively compared to round, shielded cables.

Yes, it is fully compatible with the PS5 and other high-speed gaming consoles equipped with standard RJ45 ports.

Absolutely. Cat8 is backwards compatible with all previous Ethernet standards, so it will work perfectly with your existing equipment.
Yes, it features an SSTP shielded design to protect your signal from electromagnetic interference.
This specific variant is 3 meters long.
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor deployment is not recommended as it lacks a weather-resistant outer jacket.
Verify that both your router and the connected device support speeds above 1Gbps; use a different port on the router to rule out hardware failure.
Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated until they click; inspect the cable for sharp kinks or crushed segments.
To install, simply click the RJ45 connector into any standard networking port on your router, switch, or device. Because it is Cat8, it is fully compatible with any device using an RJ45 Ethernet port, though note that the device's own network interface controller (NIC) will determine the maximum speed achieved.
When routing the cable, avoid sharp 90-degree bends, as these can stress the internal copper strands within the flat jacket. If running the cable under a carpet, ensure it is placed in a low-traffic area to prevent it from being crushed, which could degrade the shielding effectiveness over time.
