Hello,

Is Veetop CAT8 ethernet cable 'directional' or can you use it both ways round?
 
What is the application for Cat8 ? Cat 8 patch cables will be pretty much useless unless all of your other structured cabling is Cat8. No its not directional to answer the question. This is pretty much snake-oil for networking for 99.999% of users.
 
Hi, its for a 4K UHD ultra-bluray player to my router... so it wont matter which end i install to each item?
 
No it won’t make any difference whichever way round. Also will perform exactly the same as a Cat5e patch cable.
 
Cat8? In domestic or SME? It’s a higher number so it MUST be better! No?

Marketing department 1, consumer nil.
