  • TypeNetworking Patch Cables
  • FeaturesDouble Shielded (S/FTP)
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire-safety standards
  • Double S/FTP shielding suppresses crosstalk and EMI for reliable 2 GHz bandwidth
  • Snagless RJ45 boot protects the locking clip during frequent patching
  • Rated for 40 Gbps data transfer over short copper runs
  • 5-foot length suits rack-to-rack or desktop connections

Ideal for high-speed networking

This Cat8 patch cable supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer and 2 GHz bandwidth using pure bare copper conductors and RJ45 connectors. The double shielded S/FTP construction helps reduce crosstalk and interference. Snagless boots protect the retaining clips during installation and removal. It meets UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire and safety standards.

Suited for 40 GbE links

It suits IT managers, data-centre operators and anyone wiring 40 GbE links between switches, servers or network-attached storage. Builders who need longer runs beyond 30 feet should look at something else. Installations requiring a different jacket colour or non-shielded cable will not match this specification. The 28 AWG gauge is fixed and not selectable.

5-foot length decides fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the 5-foot length. The cable is offered in twelve lengths from 6 inches to 30 feet, so the required reach must match exactly. All other electrical and shielding characteristics are identical across the range.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the rated 40 Gbps after installation?

Connect it between two 40 Gbps-capable ports and run a throughput test such as iperf3; sustained results near 40 Gbps show the link is operating at the specified speed.

What comes with the cable and what extra items are needed?

The package contains the 5-foot Cat8 patch cable with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional components are required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Which length should I choose for a short rack run?

The 5-foot length keeps cable slack minimal for adjacent rack devices; longer options up to 30 feet are available if the run exceeds that distance.
