Category 8 cable for high-bandwidth networks

This Category 8 Ethernet patch cable uses four shielded twisted pairs of oxygen-free copper at 26 AWG with 24K gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It is built for environments that demand reliable 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T throughput such as servers, cloud storage and gaming consoles. Backward compatibility extends to CAT7, CAT6, CAT5 and CAT5e equipment.

S/FTP triple-layer shielding for signal integrity

The cable employs an overall aluminium foil plus braided shield around each pair, providing triple-layer protection against EMI, RFI and alien crosstalk. This construction preserves signal quality at the rated 2000 MHz bandwidth over the full 7 ft length. Shielded connectors maintain the screening path end to end.

Passive copper design runs cool and silent

As an unpowered copper assembly the cable generates no heat and produces no audible noise during operation. Power draw is zero beyond the negligible resistance of the 26 AWG conductors. The shielded jacket and gold contacts resist corrosion for consistent long-term performance.

Questions about this item

Does the 2000 MHz bandwidth let me run 40 Gbps links in my server rack?

Yes. The cable is rated for 2000 MHz and supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, so a 7 ft run will carry 40 Gbps between compatible ports.

Is the RJ45 connector limited to Cat 6 speeds in practice?

No. The connectors are 24K gold-plated RJ45 and the cable meets Cat 8 specifications, so they pass the full 2000 MHz / 40 Gbps signal when both ends are Cat 8 capable.

Will the triple-layer shield and 26 AWG conductors fit a standard keystone jack or patch panel?

The cable uses standard RJ45 plugs on both ends. It plugs directly into any RJ45 port — keystone, patch panel, switch or NIC — without an adapter.
