Category 8 Ethernet Cable

This Category 8 Ethernet cable uses oxygen-free copper conductors and 24K gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The S/FTP design adds overall foil and braided shielding to reduce EMI, RFI and alien crosstalk. It supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T speeds up to 2000 MHz bandwidth. The 50 ft length suits server, cloud storage, gaming console and video streaming setups.

Shielded Patch Cable for High-Bandwidth Builds

The cable terminates in standard RJ45 plugs on both ends for direct connection to switches, routers, servers or consoles. Triple-layer shielding protects signal integrity in dense racks or alongside power cables without extra grounding hardware. Backward compatibility with CAT7, CAT6, CAT5 and CAT5e lets it drop into existing infrastructure. The 26 AWG gauge keeps the jacket flexible for routing through cable management channels.

Passive Copper Link with Triple-Layer Shielding

As a passive copper assembly the cable draws no power and adds no active noise to the installation. Shielded twisted-pair construction contains emissions so nearby analogue or wireless gear sees minimal interference. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for stable long-term resistance. The design meets Category 8 electrical requirements without external power or cooling.

Questions about this item

Will the 26 AWG conductors limit the cable's reach when running at 40 Gbps?

The cable is rated for 40 Gbps at 50 ft using 26 AWG oxygen-free copper with triple-layer S/FTP shielding.

Does the S/FTP shielding and 26 AWG gauge affect heat or power draw during continuous use?

Passive shielded copper cables generate no heat and draw no power regardless of shielding type or gauge.

What port speed must my switch or NIC already support to use this cable at 40 Gbps?

Both ends need 40GBASE-T or 25GBASE-T ports; the cable is backward compatible with slower RJ45 equipment.
