0.5 ft Cat8 patch cable

This half-foot Cat8 Ethernet cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure-copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps data rates. The slim, snagless design suits tight server racks, patch panels or desktop runs. UL-rated construction supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications.

Ideal for short high-speed links

Installers needing a very short, fully shielded Cat8 jump for switch-to-server or router-to-modem connections will appreciate the flexible jacket and secure locking tabs. Buyers who want more storage or require longer horizontal runs should look at something else. The 0.5 ft length limits use to adjacent equipment only.

2000 MHz bandwidth rating

The cable’s 2 GHz (2000 MHz) frequency rating is the single specification that determines whether it meets 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T channel requirements. Verify that your active gear and link budget are designed for this bandwidth before purchasing.
