Product identity

This Fuji Labs CAT8-BL50STP- GY is a 50 ft Category 8 network Ethernet cable built for high-speed wired connections. It uses four pairs of 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with individual foil shielding and an overall braid shield, terminated in RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The PVC jacket is coloured grey.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits installers and network engineers who need a shielded, standards-compliant link rated for up to 2,000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rates, with backwards compatibility to earlier categories. Buyers who require a different cable length, a different jacket colour, or an unshielded construction should look at other options.

Deciding specification

The cable is certified to the TIA/EIA 568 B wiring standard and carries UL and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance, confirming it meets the Category 8 performance class for 40 Gbps operation.

Questions about this item

Does the 50 ft Cat 8 cable generate any heat or noise when carrying 40Gbps traffic all day?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with 24AWG stranded conductors and full S/FTP shielding, so it produces no heat or audible noise even at sustained 40Gbps throughput.

What equipment must I already own for the RJ45 connectors with 50 micron gold plated contacts to work?

Any device with a standard RJ45 Ethernet port — router, switch, PC, NAS, or console — will mate directly with the T568B-wired plugs.

Will this Cat 8 patch cord run at full speed when I keep my older Cat 5e and Cat 6 patch panels in the same run?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 links, so it will negotiate the highest speed each legacy component supports.
