Patch-cable length and role

This 0.5 ft Cat 8 patch cord links two RJ45 ports at 24 AWG with full S/FTP shielding. It is aimed at installers who need a short, high-frequency link between a switch and a server or appliance in a rack or bench setup.

Frequency headroom and throughput ceiling

The cable operates at 2000 MHz and is rated for 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet, so it handles current data-centre uplinks with margin. Runs longer than the specified length will exceed the channel budget for those speeds and require a lower category or active gear.

Build integration and compatibility

Backward compatible with Cat 5 through Cat 7 equipment, it drops into existing RJ45 infrastructure without re-termination. The yellow jacket and dual shielding simplify cable management in dense panels while freeing the installer from worrying about alien crosstalk in high-density trays.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.5 ft Cat 8 cable work with my existing Cat 6a patch panel and router?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 RJ45 cabling and equipment, so it will connect directly to your current patch panel and router.

How can I verify the 2000 MHz bandwidth is active after I plug it in?

Check the link speed reported by your switch or network adapter; a negotiated 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps connection confirms the 2 GHz (2000 MHz) Class I performance is operating as intended.

Does the pack of 10 yellow shielded cables include any extra connectors or tools?

The pack contains ten 0.5 ft Cat 8 S/FTP patch cords with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors, couplers or installation tools are included.
