Monoprice 145441 Cat8 network ethernet cable 2 feet black S/FTP 28AWG 2GHz 40G

Ideal for IT managers and data centers

This Cat8 patch cable is built for IT managers and data center operators who need a cost-effective, high-performance copper link. It delivers up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speeds and up to 2GHz bandwidth using standard RJ45 connectors. The 2-foot length suits dense rack connections and short patch panel runs. It is not for installers who require longer cable runs beyond the available twelve length options.

Double shielded S/FTP with snagless boots

The cable uses double shielded S/FTP construction with 28AWG pure bare copper conductors to minimize alien crosstalk and EMI. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the retaining clips during frequent moves or dense patching. Full compliance with UL Code 444 and TIA568C.2 fire and safety standards ensures suitability for structured wiring installations. Builders needing unshielded or solid-core cable for permanent in-wall runs should look elsewhere.

Passive copper design for cool, silent operation

As a passive copper assembly, the cable adds no active heat, fan noise, or power draw to the rack environment. Signal integrity is maintained up to the rated 2GHz bandwidth without external power. The 28AWG gauge keeps the cable flexible for tight cable management. Deployments requiring powered signal extension or active optical conversion for distance are not supported by this product.
