Equipment Choice for 10GbE wired and WiFi 7 mesh?

[Ralph_IT]

Thank you. I agree. However, that UGreen "Cat 8" cable has 37,220 reviews on Amazon with 82% giving it five stars. Searching through the reviews seems to indicate that it works for 10GbE. And 32.50 euros for 15 meters or 40 euros 20 meters is not a bad price. The Primewire flat "Cat 7" cable has 76% five-star reviews and is 14 euros for 20 meters.

Molex looks great, but I can only find bulkwire here.

I think you're referring to those reviews on Amazon.es, don't you?
Not wanting to rain on your parade, but those reviews seemed paid for and not "true". (The first one is hillarious. Almost copy/paste of an UGreen advertisement).
Stick to Cat 6A cable as other members advised you and you'll be fine.

Edit: Typo

Well, not my parade. I'm just saying that looking at reviews, as was suggested, is not so straightforward. And not sure how many are paid out of the 37 thousand that are there.

Time to change profession and start selling Cat9 cables. Guess this is going to work very well xD

37,220 reviews

Those are likely aggregate of different listings and not specific to the cable you're looking at. It's also likely that some of them are paid reviews where they offered a rebate on the backend for a positive review.

For changing your profession, you'd want to charge a lot more than 14 euros for 20 meters. Something more like this: expensive cable

If you wanna go manual firewall, maybe a Banana pi R4 with the BE14 card (2 SFP+, 4 Gigabit, 2 mpcie slots), but stability in the drivers is still catching up. I think however, everything will get stable soon.
