1 ft Cat8 U/FTP patch cord for 40 Gbps links

This 1 ft Cat8 U/FTP cable uses 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to deliver up to 40 Gbps data rates. It is built for short runs between switches, servers or workstations that need 25 GbE or 40 GbE connectivity. The slim jacket keeps routing tidy in dense racks or behind desks. Backward compatibility covers existing Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 equipment.

Sustained throughput at 2 GHz bandwidth

The foil shielding around each twisted pair maintains signal integrity at the full 2 GHz operating frequency, so the link holds its rated speed during long transfers rather than throttling after a short burst. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that would otherwise degrade performance over time. T568B wiring ensures consistent pin-out across the installation. The cable meets the electrical requirements for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks.

Low-profile build with snagless strain relief

A soft-flex push tab and moulded strain relief prevent the latch from catching on adjacent cables during moves or maintenance. The CM-rated PVC jacket is flexible enough for tight bends without kinking, while the overall diameter stays small for airflow in crowded cable trays. Shielded metal connector housings contain electromagnetic leakage in normal office or data-centre environments. Power draw is passive — no external supply is required.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 AWG stranded copper construction make the cable run hotter or draw more power during continuous 40 Gbps transfers?

The cable is entirely passive — no active electronics inside — so it generates no heat of its own and draws no power regardless of how long it runs at 40 Gbps.

What port type must my switch, router or NIC already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this cable?

Any standard RJ45 (8P8C) Ethernet port — the same jack found on Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 gear — will accept the connectors directly.

Will this Cat8 patch cord negotiate down to 1 Gbps if I plug it into my older Cat5e wall jack and gigabit switch?

Yes. The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 links, so it will automatically operate at the highest speed both ends support.
