Flat white shielded Cat 8 Ethernet cable fifty feet long with gold RJ45 connectors

Fairtex

Fairtex Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 50 ft Shielded 26AWG 40Gbps 2000MHz SFTP

SKU CH-JWX2-V82QA

A 50 ft shielded Cat 8 patch cord rated for 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz with gold-plated RJ45 connectors

  • Supports 40Gbps bandwidth for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks
  • 2000MHz frequency enables higher data rates over 50 ft length
  • SFTP shielding with 26AWG conductors reduces interference in heavy-duty use
  • Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure secure fit for servers, consoles and routers
  • Weatherproof rating allows in-wall and outdoor installation flexibility

50 ft Cat 8 shielded patch cable

This Cat 8 Ethernet cable measures 50 ft and uses 26 AWG conductors with SFTP shielding. It is rated for 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz and carries a weatherproof jacket suitable for indoor or outdoor runs. The gold-plated RJ45 connectors fit standard networking gear from routers to consoles.

Upgrade from Cat 5e, Cat 6 or Cat 6a

The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 equipment. The jump is worthwhile when you need 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T headroom for switch-to-server links or low-latency gaming traffic. Older categories cannot sustain those frequencies over the same distance.

Simple RJ45 plug-in, watch bend radius

Installation is a standard RJ45 plug into any compatible port; no tools or drivers are required. The shielded construction is stiffer than unshielded cable, so avoid tight bends or staple guns that can damage the foil and drain wire. Verify the jacket rating matches your in-wall or outdoor code requirements.

Questions about this item

What length and gauge is the Fairtex Cat 8 cable?

The cable is 50 ft long and uses 26 AWG conductors, making it suitable for in-wall and outdoor runs while remaining flexible enough for patch connections.

How do I install the shielded RJ45 connectors correctly?

Seat each gold-plated RJ45 plug fully until the latch clicks; the common mistake is leaving the shielded housing slightly unseated, which breaks the ground path and degrades 2000 MHz performance.

When should I replace this SFTP patch cord?

Replace it if the jacket shows UV cracking, the shield foil is kinked, or the gold-plated contacts become corroded — any of those will reduce the 40 Gbps headroom for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links.
