Has anyone else bought Fiberstore Cat8 ethernet patch cable? I bought some recently as I was looking for some quality shielded cables in the 7-10ft range and their cat 8 cables were cheep. $3.50-$4.50. After checking these out today I noticed that these cables are 26 awg thick. Having felt some cat6A recently, and I have some cat 7 cables, I thought these cables were a little thin. Then I looked online and saw that monoprice advertises their cat 8 cables as a heavier 24 awg. their 7-10ft cables are $17-20 each
I understand that less than accurate claims of cable quality are not uncommon but I've always understood fiber store to have a pretty respectable name and wanted to know what other peoples impression of these cables were.
I dont even think they are 40GB copper NICs with RJ45 connection out so testing line speed on these is impossible at this point.
