Monoprice Cat8 14ft S/FTP Cable
This 14-foot Monoprice Cat8 patch cable uses double-shielded S/FTP construction with 28AWG pure bare copper conductors. It is rated for up to 2GHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speeds. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the retaining clips during installation and removal.
Suited for high-speed links up to 40Gbps.
The cable supports the 40Gbps ceiling quoted in the specifications, making it appropriate for short server-to-switch or workstation links. Lengths beyond the maximum 30-foot range offered by the series are not covered by this product. Buyers needing longer permanent installations should consider bulk cable and termination hardware instead.
28AWG pure bare copper meets UL 444 and TIA568C.2
Conductors are 100% pure bare copper at 28AWG, not copper-clad aluminium. This construction satisfies UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA568C.2 fire and safety requirements for communications cabling.

Questions about this item
Does the 14 foot blue Cat8 cable arrive with both RJ45 ends already attached, or do I need to buy connectors separately?
The cable is a finished patch lead with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends, so no extra connectors or tools are required.
How do I decide between the available lengths when the only difference shown is the 14 foot option?
Choose the shortest length that reaches between your devices; the 14 foot version suits typical desk-to-switch runs, while longer lengths up to 30 feet are offered for larger rooms.
Will the 2 GHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps rating actually deliver that speed on my home router and PC?
The cable supports up to 40 Gbps and 2 GHz, but the real throughput depends on the slowest linked device — both ports must also be rated for Cat8 speeds to reach the headline figure.
