Blue round Cat8 Ethernet cable with molded RJ45 plugs and strain relief, five metres long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFTP Shielded Cat8 Ethernet Cable 5m 40Gbps 2000MHz

SKU CH-54PG-8R8WK

A 5-metre shielded Cat8 patch cable delivering 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz with solid pure copper conductors and full SFTP shielding for interference-free 8K streaming and PoE++ power

Length 5M

  • 40 Gbps bandwidth for 8K streaming and large file transfers
  • Pure copper conductors deliver low resistance and stable PoE++ power
  • SFTP double shielding blocks crosstalk and EMI in dense wiring
  • Molded strain relief protects connectors from repeated bending stress
  • 5 m round cable routes cleanly in racks and stays compatible with older categories

SFTP Cat8 cable for 40Gbps links

This shielded Cat8 patch cord delivers 40Gbps throughput at 2000MHz bandwidth over a 5-metre run. Solid pure-copper conductors keep resistance low and support PoE++ power delivery. Full SFTP double-layer shielding blocks crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense wiring environments. Molded strain relief on both RJ45 plugs protects the joints from repeated bending and pulling.

Suited to servers, NAS and 8K video

Data-centre racks, gaming workstations and high-speed home LANs benefit from the low attenuation and zero packet-loss design. Backward compatibility with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6 and Cat5e lets the cable slot into existing infrastructure. Buyers who need longer runs or fibre-grade distances should look at alternative media. The round jacket simplifies cabinet routing but offers no armoured protection for harsh industrial sites.

Check port speed and connector clearance

Verify that your switch, router or NIC ports are rated for 40Gbps operation to use the full bandwidth. Ensure the RJ45 sockets have enough depth for the molded boot without stressing the PCB. Confirm the 5-metre length reaches between your rack and device without excess slack. The cable is ready to use with no driver or firmware requirements.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 port does my device need to use this Cat8 cable?

Any standard RJ45 port works; the cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Will the SFTP shielding on this cable interfere with older Cat6 patch cords running beside it?

The double-layer shielding blocks crosstalk and EMI, so it protects both its own signals and neighbouring cables.

How can I verify the link is running at 40Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status for a 40Gbps link speed and confirm zero packet loss during large transfers.
