  • Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent tab damage during installation

1ft White CAT8 Patch Cable

This one-foot white CAT8 patch cable uses pure bare copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to support 25G and 40G data rates at 2000MHz. It is rated for 100W Power over Ethernet and terminates in snagless RJ45 connectors with an LSZH jacket.

Suited for short high-speed links

The 1ft length fits dense rack or panel-to-panel runs where 25G or 40G throughput is required and PoE devices draw up to 100W. Installers needing longer horizontal runs, outdoor burial ratings or non-LSZH jackets should select a different cable type.

Simple RJ45 plug-in

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during insertion and removal, so the cable seats cleanly in standard keystone jacks, switches or NIC ports. The only common issue is exceeding the short reach; measure the exact device-to-device distance before ordering.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 port speed do I need on my switch or router for this 25G/40G cable to operate at its rated throughput?

The cable is rated for 25G and 40G speeds, so the connected ports must support at least 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T to achieve full performance.

Will this S/FTP CAT8 cable work reliably with my existing CAT6a patch panel and older 10GBASE-T equipment?

Yes, the CAT8 S/FTP construction is backward compatible with CAT6a and 10GBASE-T gear; it will negotiate down to the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 2000MHz bandwidth and 100W PoE capability are working after I plug it in?

Run a cable certifier that tests to 2000MHz and check for a stable 25G or 40G link light; for PoE, confirm the powered device receives up to 100W without voltage drop.
