Cat8 1 ft shielded patch cable

This Nippon Labs Cat8 cable is a 1 ft purple patch lead built with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and S/FTP shielding. It uses RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and a snagless moulded boot. The jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor installation.

Suited to short high-speed links; not for long runs

The 1 ft length fits rack-to-rack or device-to-switch connections where 40 Gbps at 2 GHz is required. Buyers who need cable runs beyond this short reach should choose a longer Cat8 cable or a different category rated for the distance they must cover.

40 Gbps at 2 GHz over 1 ft

The decisive specification is the 40 Gbps data rate supported at 2000 MHz bandwidth across the 1 ft length. If the network equipment operates at lower speeds or the link must span a greater distance, the extra bandwidth this cable provides will not be used.

Highlights

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Cat8 rating on this cable support in practice?

The cable is rated for up to 2,000 MHz bandwidth, enabling 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T speeds over its 1 ft length.

What physical clearance does the shielded 26AWG construction and RJ45 plugs need?

The PVC-jacketed S/FTP cable with double foil and braid shielding plus molded strain-relief boots requires a slightly larger bend radius than unshielded patch cords.

How do I seat the gold-plated RJ45 connectors without damaging the soft flex push tab?

Push the connector straight in until the tab clicks; to remove, press the tab down gently and pull — do not yank the cable or the snagless boot can tear.
