Fuji Labs Cat8 2 ft patch cable

This two-foot Cat8 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with foil shielding on each pair and an overall braid shield. RJ45 plugs carry 50 micron gold plated contacts and a PVC jacket protects the assembly. It is rated for up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rate. The cable is backwards compatible with earlier categories.

Suited for short high-speed links

The short length makes it ideal for connecting a desktop, server or switch to a nearby wall jack or patch panel where maximum throughput is required. Installers who need longer runs for permanent structured cabling should look at bulk solid-core cable instead. Buyers who want a different jacket material or colour will need another product.

2 ft length fixes the reach

At exactly two feet the cable only spans very short distances such as rack-adjacent equipment or a desktop-to-wall outlet. It cannot cover room-scale or floor-to-floor runs. Verify that the fixed length matches the intended connection before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 2 GHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rate cause the cable to run warm during all-day use?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active electronics, so it does not generate measurable heat regardless of throughput.

What equipment must I already have for the RJ45 connectors with 50 micron gold plated contacts to work?

Any device with a standard RJ45 port — router, switch, PC or NAS — will mate with the connectors; no special adapter is required.

How does the S/FTP shielding and Cat 8 rating behave when I plug it into my older Cat 5e or Cat 6 patch panel?

The cable is fully backwards compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 links, so it will operate at the highest speed the older hardware supports.
