Nippon Labs Cat8 7 ft 40 Gbps cable

This Nippon Labs Cat8 Ethernet cable runs at 2000 MHz and supports up to 40 Gbps over a 7 ft red run. It uses stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors with individual foil shielding, overall steel braid and a CM-rated PVC jacket. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors with snagless boots complete the S/FTP construction.

Suited for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links

The cable targets data-centre switch-to-server connections and high-speed home networks that need 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps throughput. It is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment. Buyers whose gear only negotiates lower speeds will not benefit from the Cat8 specification.

2000 MHz operating frequency

The defining figure is the 2000 MHz operating frequency that enables 40 Gbps performance. This frequency requires the full S/FTP shielding and 24 AWG conductors specified for Cat8. If the installation does not need that bandwidth ceiling, the extra shielding and cost are unnecessary.

Questions about this item

How do I seat the RJ45 plugs without damaging the soft flex push tab?

Push the connector straight in until the tab clicks into the port latch; the molded strain relief prevents the cable from kinking at the bend point.

Will the 24 AWG stranded conductors or the 50 µm gold plating need replacement first?

The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion far longer than the stranded copper cores fatigue, so the cable itself is the long-term wear item.

At what point does the 2000 MHz rating become the bottleneck on a 40 Gbps link?

The 2 GHz bandwidth ceiling is reached before the 40 Gbps signalling limit, so sustained throughput tops out at the frequency spec.
