Monoprice Inc. 145414 Cat8 Network Ethernet Cable 3 Feet Blue S/FTP

SKU CH-BN6F-KBSYH

A 3-foot Cat8 patch cable with double shielding, 28 AWG pure copper conductors, snagless RJ45 boots and up to 40 Gbps at 2 GHz bandwidth

  • TypeNetworking Patch Cables
  • FeaturesDouble Shielded (S/FTP)
  • 40 Gbps transfer speed enables rapid data movement
  • 2 GHz bandwidth supports high-frequency signals
  • Double S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and interference
  • Snagless RJ45 boot protects the plug retaining clip
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568C.2 standards

Ideal for 40Gbps network links

This Cat8 patch cable delivers up to 40 gigabit data transfer speed and 2GHz bandwidth over a 3 foot run. It suits IT managers and data centre operators who need a future proof copper link between switches, servers or patch panels. The pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire safety requirements for communications wiring.

Double shielded S/FTP construction

Each twisted pair is individually foil wrapped and the cable carries an overall braid screen to suppress alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The 28AWG gauge keeps the cable flexible for tight rack routing while the snagless RJ45 boot protects the retaining clip during frequent reconnects. Blue jacket colour aids quick visual identification in dense cable bundles.

Passive copper with no active electronics

Signal integrity relies on the shielded copper pairs and standard RJ45 contacts so power draw is negligible and there is no fan noise or thermal load. The cable operates within the temperature limits defined by the cited safety standards. Performance holds at the rated 40Gbps over the specified 3 foot length without external power or cooling.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat8 cable's 2 GHz bandwidth support in practice?

The cable is rated for up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speed over its 3-foot length.

What physical clearance does the 28 AWG S/FTP cable and snagless boot need?

The 28 AWG double-shielded construction is thinner than standard patch cables, and the snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip in tight racks or wall plates.

How do I install the RJ45 plugs without damaging the snagless boot?

Push the connector straight in until the retaining clip clicks; the molded boot shields the clip so it cannot catch on adjacent cables during insertion or removal.
