200 ft Cat 8 outdoor cable

This 200 ft Cat 8 Ethernet cable is built for indoor and outdoor network runs. It uses 26AWG oxygen-free copper conductors in a shielded twisted-pair construction with RJ45 connectors. The PVC jacket is rated for direct burial and resists water, UV exposure and temperature extremes. It supports bandwidth up to 2000 MHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps.

Installers needing direct-burial length

The 200 ft length suits installers who need a single continuous run between buildings, to a remote camera or through conduit without joints. Buyers who only need a short patch cord for a desk or rack will find this cable excessively long and stiff for that purpose. Anyone requiring a plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces should select a different cable type.

2000 MHz bandwidth rating

The 2000 MHz bandwidth rating is the specification that decides whether this cable meets the performance target for the intended link speed. Verify that the connected equipment and the installation environment can use this class of shielded cabling before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 26AWG shielded Cat 8 cable generate noticeable heat or consume extra power during continuous 40Gbps data transfer?

The cable is passive copper with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power beyond the signal carried by the connected devices.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this 200 ft Cat 8 patch cord?

Any network switch, router, computer, laptop, ADSL modem, network adapter or hub with a standard RJ45 jack will connect directly.

Will this Cat 8 cable work at full 2000MHz bandwidth when plugged into older Cat 5e or Cat 6 ports?

The link will negotiate to the lowest common category, so older Cat 5e or Cat 6 ports limit speed to their rated 1Gbps or 10Gbps respectively.
