The ATEK Flat Cat8 Ethernet Cable is ideal for home office users, gamers, and streamers who require a high-speed, reliable, and unobtrusive network connection over longer distances. Its key advantage is the flat, low-profile design which allows for easy installation under carpets or along skirting boards without sacrificing signal integrity; however, users should be mindful that the 20m length requires careful cable management to prevent tangling or excessive bending.

Yes, the Cat8 cable is fully compatible with devices using previous ethernet standards such as Cat6 or Cat5e.
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor usage may expose the casing to elements it is not rated to withstand.
No, the internal twisted pair design is maintained to ensure signal integrity despite the external flat profile.
Cat8 standards are capable of supporting up to 40Gbps, making this a highly future-proof choice.
We do not recommend cutting the cable. Doing so requires specialized tools and technical expertise to re-terminate the connectors correctly.
Unplug both ends and ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated and clicked into the ports.
Verify that your router and network interface card support Cat8 speeds or are backward compatible with your current hardware setup.
Check the port for dust or debris; if clean, ensure the plastic tab on the RJ45 connector is not damaged.
To ensure peak performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can stress the internal wiring. When routing the cable, use cable clips to secure it along the baseboards, which helps maintain a neat setup and reduces wear. The cable is fully backward compatible with older RJ45-based network hardware. To clean, wipe down with a dry microfiber cloth if necessary; avoid the use of liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals near the connectors.
