    Google search excerpt:
    "If cost were no object then Cat8 would be the perfect choice today. It's freer from interference and cross-talk, and offers faster data transmission speeds than Cat6 and Cat6a.

    These ultra thins do not last either, never use them for anything serious or better yet not at all.
