My point though was that no one is going to get 40Gbps of speed on a copper ethernet cable. I mean, we are just now starting to get 2.5Gbps nics out there. There is no 40Gpbs copper ethernet adapters out there so it seems silly to market a speed that no one can get.
CAT6 = 1 Gbps @ 250 MHz = OK that's good
CAT7 = 10 Gbps @ 600 MHz = I SAID that's good!
CAT8 = 40 Gbps @ 2000 MHz = It's enough slices!
Also, this cable is probably perfectly fine for home use, probably even up to 10Gbps, but I highly doubt it would actually certify as Cat8. Who will know, considering it's 6' long - at this length you can get 10Gbps out of Cat5e 🤷

It all depends on the length of the run. Cat5e will work unless you have a huge house.
OK smart guy, what consumer switches and routers support 40Gbps ethernet speeds. I'll wait for your genius self to answer.

You know why our internet is slow? It's because infrastructure for such a sparsely populated country is high. That's right USA is one of the least densely populated countries per square mile. We are so lucky that we don't live on top of each other in shoe boxes, even if it does keep us from having high speed fiber at everyone's house!
but yeah, I wish I could get fiber LOL.
