Cat8 shielded cable for 40 Gbps links

This 3 ft Cat8 patch cable uses S/FTP construction with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors to deliver up to 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and full backward compatibility suit data-centre uplinks, enterprise LANs and high-speed home networks. The CM-rated PVC jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor use.

Sustained 2000 MHz operation with double shielding

Individual foil shielding around each pair and an overall steel braid suppress alien crosstalk and EMI during continuous 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T traffic. The pure copper core maintains signal integrity over the full length without the degradation seen in unshielded designs under prolonged load.

Snagless RJ45 plugs with strain relief

Molded boots and a soft flex push tab prevent the latch from catching on adjacent cables and protect the termination from bending stress. The 50 µm gold contacts resist oxidation, and the UL-rated assembly terminates cleanly into standard keystone jacks, patch panels and switch ports. Not suited for buyers who need longer runs beyond the 3 ft length or who require plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces.

Questions about this item

Does the 2000 MHz Cat8 cable run hotter or draw more power than older cables when left plugged in all day?

No, the cable is passive copper with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of its 2000 MHz rating.

What devices must I already own to use this 3 ft Cat8 patch cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, modem, PC, console, NAS or IP camera — to connect with this cable.

Will this Cat8 cable work properly with my existing Cat6a patch panel and Cat5e wall jacks?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 RJ45 cabling and equipment.
