Enterprise-grade Cat8 patch cord

This six-foot Cat8 cable is built for data-centre and enterprise networks that demand 25 or 40 Gbps throughput. Its 2000 MHz bandwidth provides four times the capacity of Cat6a links. The cord suits rack-to-panel runs where high-density 100 W PoE++ delivery is required.

S/FTP shielding with snagless boots

A fully shielded S/FTP construction wraps each twisted pair and the overall bundle to suppress alien crosstalk in crowded cabinets. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion over repeated mating cycles. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during dense patch-panel changes. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen safety standards for plenum spaces.

Replaces lower-category copper links

The cable upgrades existing Cat6 or Cat6a patch cords when 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps ports are deployed and 2000 MHz headroom is needed. The jump is justified when PoE++ loads exceed what lighter-gauge cords can carry reliably. It is not for installers who need longer runs beyond the fixed six-foot length or who require unshielded UTP for simpler termination.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the Cat 8 rating on this cable actually cap at?

The Cat 8 specification on this cable supports up to 25 or 40Gbps with a 2000MHz bandwidth.

What clearance does the snagless RJ45 connector need to fit into a patch panel?

The snagless RJ45 connector uses a standard 45 form factor that fits any Cat 8 compatible patch panel or keystone jack.

How do you terminate the shield on this S/FTP cable when installing it?

The shielded S/FTP design with 26AWG pure bare copper wire connects automatically through the gold-plated RJ45 connectors when crimped.
