  • TypeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Cat8
  • Connector ARJ45
  • Connector BRJ45
  • Length4 ft.
  • ColorRed
  • Supports 40 Gbps speeds for high-bandwidth networks
  • 2 GHz bandwidth enables 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T readiness
  • S/FTP shielding with foil and braid blocks external interference
  • 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and ensure reliable connections
  • 4 ft stranded 26 AWG pure copper cable fits tight indoor or outdoor runs

Ready for 40Gbps networks

This 4 ft Cat 8 patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and double shielding to support up to 40Gbps data rates at 2000 MHz bandwidth. It is built for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links and remains fully backward compatible with existing Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 infrastructure. The red PVC jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor use.

Simple plug-and-play install

Each end terminates in an RJ45 plug with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and a metal-shielded housing. A soft-flex push tab allows easy lock and unlock while the moulded strain relief prevents snags and pinching during routing. The snagless design helps the cable pass through tight pathways without catching. No tools or configuration are required.

Not for permanent in-wall runs

The cable carries UL and ETL verification to TIA/EIA standards and is RoHS compliant, but the supplied facts list a flexible PVC jacket rather than a CMP or CMR fire-rated jacket. Installers who need plenum or riser ratings for code-compliant horizontal runs should select a cable with those specific markings.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering the rated 2000 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Connect the cable between two 40Gbps-capable ports and run a bandwidth test; the link should negotiate at the maximum rate supported by both devices.

What comes with the cable and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the 4 ft Cat 8 patch cable with shielded RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional adapters or tools are required.

When should I choose this 4 ft 26 AWG version over a longer or thicker gauge option?

Select this length and gauge for short, high-density runs such as rack-to-rack or desk-to-switch connections where flexibility and maximum 40Gbps performance are needed.
