Nippon Labs Cat8 2 ft Ethernet Cable

This Nippon Labs Cat8 patch cable measures 2 ft and uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with S/FTP shielding. It is built for indoor or outdoor runs and terminates in gold-plated RJ45 connectors with snagless boots. The cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps. It is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This cable suits installers who need a short, shielded link for 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T gear in a rack, at a desk or between a console and a router. Buyers who need longer runs, in-wall riser or plenum ratings, or unshielded patch cables for simple home networking should look at other products.

The specification that decides fit

The 2000 MHz bandwidth rating determines whether this cable can carry the 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps signals your switch and server ports expect. If your active equipment only negotiates 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, a lower-category cable will work, but it will not provide the headroom this Cat8 cable is rated for.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 2 ft Cat8 cable or a longer run for my desk-to-router link?

At 2 ft this cable is intended for very short patch connections — rack-to-switch, modem-to-router or console-to-wall-plate. If the devices are farther apart, select a longer Cat8 length to avoid tension on the connectors.

What does the 40 Gbps headline speed deliver when I plug it into my PC?

The cable supports up to 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz bandwidth, so it can carry 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T traffic end-to-end provided your network adapters, switch ports and router also operate at those rates.

Is the RJ45 connector on this Cat8 cable compatible with my existing Cat6a wall jacks?

Yes — the shielded RJ45 plugs are fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 cabling, so they seat securely in your current wall outlets and patch panels.
