Black Cat8 Ethernet cable ten feet long with snagless RJ45 connectors

Monoprice Inc.

Monoprice Inc. 145445 Cat8 Network Ethernet Cable 10 Feet Black S/FTP 28AWG 2GHz 40Gbps

SKU CH-YH7W-CWEGR

A 10-foot Cat8 patch cable with S/FTP double shielding and 28AWG pure copper conductors supports 40Gbps at 2GHz bandwidth

  • Product typeNetworking Patch Cables
  • Key featuresDouble Shielded (S/FTP)
  • Supports 40 Gbps transfer speed for demanding networks
  • 2 GHz bandwidth handles high-frequency signals reliably
  • Double S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and interference
  • Snagless boot protects the RJ45 retaining clip
  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568C.2 fire standards

Monoprice 145445 Cat8 10ft Patch Cable

The Monoprice 145445 is a Category 8 patch cable built for IT managers and data-centre operators who need up to 40 Gigabit data transfer speeds over copper. Its 10-foot length suits rack-to-rack or desk-to-switch runs in professional environments.

Double S/FTP Shielding and Snagless Boots

Double S/FTP shielding wraps each twisted pair and the overall cable to suppress alien crosstalk and EMI at frequencies up to 2 GHz. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the retaining clips during repeated insertions and cable management.

Pure Bare Copper Conductors and 28 AWG Gauge

The cable uses 100 percent pure bare copper conductors, meeting UL 444 and TIA 568C.2 fire-safety requirements that prohibit copper-clad aluminium. At 28 AWG the conductors provide the specified bandwidth while the 10-foot limit keeps insertion loss within Cat8 channel budgets; longer runs would exceed the standard's distance headroom.

Questions about this item

Will the snagless RJ45 boot or the 28AWG conductors need replacement after repeated patch-panel changes?

The snagless boot protects the retaining clip from breakage during frequent insertions, and the 28AWG pure bare copper conductors are solid wire rated for standard patch-cable flex cycles; neither item has a scheduled replacement interval.

At the full 40Gbps rate over 10 feet, does the 2GHz bandwidth limit or the 28AWG gauge cause signal degradation first?

The cable is specified for 2GHz bandwidth and 40Gbps up to 30 feet, so at 10 feet the 2GHz channel margin remains within Cat8 limits before gauge-related attenuation would become dominant.

Does the double S/FTP shielding or the 28AWG pure copper construction make the cable run warmer when carrying 40Gbps continuously?

The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire-safety ampacity limits, and the S/FTP shielding adds no active heat; the cable does not generate measurable warmth at 40Gbps.
