Monoprice 145449 Cat8 network ethernet cable 25 ft black S/FTP 28AWG 2GHz 40G

SKU CH-XQP1-8X69S

A 25 ft black Cat8 patch cable with S/FTP double shielding, 28 AWG pure bare copper conductors, snagless RJ45 plugs, 2 GHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps transfer speed

  • TypeNetworking Patch Cables
  • FeaturesDouble Shielded (S/FTP)
  • Supports 40 Gbps transfer speeds for high-bandwidth networks
  • 2 GHz bandwidth handles demanding data centre workloads
  • Double S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference
  • Snagless RJ45 boot protects the retaining clip during installation
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire codes

Cat8 patch cable for 40Gbps networks

This 25-foot Cat8 patch cable delivers up to 40Gbps data transfer and 2GHz bandwidth over copper conductors. It is built for IT managers and data-centre operators who need a future-proof link between switches, servers or patch panels. The S/FTP double shielding protects signal integrity in dense rack environments. Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire-safety requirements.

Double-shielded construction with snagless boots

Each pair is individually foil-wrapped and the overall bundle carries a braided shield, giving full S/FTP protection against alien crosstalk and EMI. Snagless RJ45 boots guard the retaining clips during frequent moves in crowded cabinets. The 28AWG stranded pure bare copper wires keep the cable flexible for tight patch-panel routing while staying compliant with safety codes.

Replaces Cat6a or Cat7 runs when 40G is required

The jump is worth it when existing infrastructure cannot sustain 25G or 40G Ethernet over the needed distance. Buyers who need longer runs beyond 30 feet or who only require 10Gbps will not benefit from the extra shielding and cost. This cable targets the specific upgrade path to 40GBase-T without changing connector types.

Questions about this item

Does this Cat8 cable support 40 Gbps and 2 GHz bandwidth over the full 25 ft?

Yes, the cable is rated for up to 40 Gbps data transfer and 2 GHz bandwidth across the 25 ft length using pure bare copper conductors.

What is the cable diameter and bend radius for routing through a 28 AWG patch panel?

The cable uses 28 AWG conductors with double S/FTP shielding and a snagless boot; allow a gentle bend radius to avoid kinking the thinner gauge.

Are the RJ45 plugs terminated to TIA568B wiring and do they need a special crimp tool?

The plugs come factory terminated to TIA568 standards with gold contacts; no crimping is required — just plug into any standard RJ45 jack.
