Nippon Labs 60CAT8-2-26PU network ethernet cable 2 ft Cat 8 26AWG purple

SKU CH-QJRH-5D4HC MPN 60CAT8-2-26PU

A 2 ft Cat 8 patch cable rated for 2000 MHz and 40 Gbps with double-shielded 26 AWG conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors

  • TypeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Cat8
  • Connector ARJ45
  • Connector BRJ45
  • Length2 ft.
  • ColorPurple
  • 40 Gbps transfer speeds for high-bandwidth networks
  • 2 GHz bandwidth supports emerging 25G and 40G standards
  • Double foil and braid shielding reduces interference
  • 50 µm gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections
  • Backwards compatible with Cat 5e, 6, 6A, and 7

Designed for high-speed local networking

This Cat 8 patch cable supports frequencies up to 2,000 MHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps, making it suitable for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links. The 2 ft length suits tight rack or desk runs where long cables would add clutter. It is fully backward compatible with existing Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6A equipment.

Shielded pairs maintain signal integrity under load

Each of the four twisted pairs is wrapped in aluminium foil and the whole bundle sits under a braided shield, a construction rated S/FTP that resists alien crosstalk and EMI during sustained 40 Gbps transfers. The 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors keep resistance low so attenuation stays within spec even when the link runs at the full 2 GHz bandwidth for extended periods.

Rugged connectors and a durable jacket simplify

Gold-plated RJ45 contacts rated at 50 µm resist corrosion through repeated mating cycles. A moulded strain-relief boot and snagless push-tab prevent latch damage when cables are routed through crowded panels or pulled through conduit. The PVC jacket is rated for in-wall and outdoor use, so the same cable can move between indoor patching and exterior runs without replacement.

Questions about this item

Does the 2 GHz Cat 8 cable produce any audible noise or heat when running continuously at 40 Gbps?

The cable is passive copper with no active components, so it generates no audible noise and negligible heat even when carrying 40 Gbps traffic continuously.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this 2 ft purple Cat 8 cable?

You need equipment with standard RJ45 ports such as a router, switch, modem, PC or gaming console that accepts an 8P8C plug.

Will this 26 AWG Cat 8 patch cable work with my existing Cat 5e and Cat 6a wall jacks and switches?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 hardware, so it will connect to your older jacks and switches at their rated speeds.
