Black Cat8 Ethernet patch cable, two feet long, snagless RJ45 connectors

Monoprice Inc.

Monoprice 145441 Cat8 network ethernet cable 2 feet black S/FTP 28AWG 2GHz 40G

SKU CH-R2XK-RAN54

A 2‑foot double‑shielded Cat8 patch cable rated for 40 Gbps at 2 GHz with snagless RJ45 plugs

  • TypeNetworking Patch Cables
  • FeaturesDouble Shielded (S/FTP)
  • Up to 40 Gbps transfer speed for demanding networks
  • 2 GHz bandwidth supports high-frequency signals
  • Double S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and interference
  • Snagless RJ45 boot protects the connector clip during installs
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire standards

Ideal for IT managers and data centers

This Cat8 patch cable is built for IT managers and data center operators who need a cost-effective, high-performance copper link. It delivers up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speeds and up to 2GHz bandwidth using standard RJ45 connectors. The 2-foot length suits dense rack connections and short patch panel runs. It is not for installers who require longer cable runs beyond the available twelve length options.

Double shielded S/FTP with snagless boots

The cable uses double shielded S/FTP construction with 28AWG pure bare copper conductors to minimize alien crosstalk and EMI. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the retaining clips during frequent moves or dense patching. Full compliance with UL Code 444 and TIA568C.2 fire and safety standards ensures suitability for structured wiring installations. Builders needing unshielded or solid-core cable for permanent in-wall runs should look elsewhere.

Passive copper design for cool, silent operation

As a passive copper assembly, the cable adds no active heat, fan noise, or power draw to the rack environment. Signal integrity is maintained up to the rated 2GHz bandwidth without external power. The 28AWG gauge keeps the cable flexible for tight cable management. Deployments requiring powered signal extension or active optical conversion for distance are not supported by this product.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth and data rate does the Cat8 standard on this cable support?

The Cat8 cable is rated for up to 2GHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speed.

What connector size and cable diameter must the rack or patch panel accommodate?

The cable uses standard RJ45 plugs with snagless boots and 28AWG conductors, so it fits any standard RJ45 port and high-density patch panels.

How do I terminate or install this patch cable, and what common mistake should I avoid?

Insert each RJ45 plug until the retaining clip clicks; the snagless boot protects the clip, but forcing the cable at a sharp angle can still damage the latch.
