Can someone help me find CAT8 ethernet with metal clips?

 

All my cables clips break eventually and I need metal clips.  I cannot find them anywhere.

 

Thanks

what I'm seeing is they don't like the metal clips because they are more likely to damage the port which is why the gold plated ones even have plastic clips. Good luck.

CAT8 is a shielded cable. It should only be used with equipment that is designed to work with it. In most cases it will work like any other cable. But in some cases it will run slower with more latency if used with consumer equipment. Nothing uses the CAT8 standard. And it might never be used. I would just use a CAT6 cable.

I just need a cable capable of at least 5Gbps because I use 5GbE ethernet adapters.  They have to have metal clips because all my plastic clips break eventually.

Just use CAT6A. Job done. What are you doing that makes the clips break? Plastic clips last ages/forever making the assumption you are not continually bending them the wrong way. It is unlikely you will find ones with metal clips. Metal sheath over the connector, yes but I have never come across metal clips.
