0.5 ft Cat 8 U/FTP Slim Ethernet Cable

This 0.5 ft Cat 8 U/FTP slim Ethernet cable uses 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with each pair foil shielded. It terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and a CM PVC jacket wired to the T568B standard. The short length suits tight server-rack patches or bench testing.

Suits short high-speed links; not for long runs

Builders who need a 40 Gbps, 2000 MHz link inside a rack or between adjacent gear will find the slim, flexible jacket easy to route. Buyers who want longer horizontal runs or in-wall installations should look at something else because this cable is only 0.5 ft long and rated CM for patch-cord use.

40 Gbps at 2000 MHz over 0.5 ft

The single specification that decides fit is the 40 Gbps data rate at 2000 MHz bandwidth across the 0.5 ft length. If your switch or NIC requires that throughput over a very short distance, this cable meets it; if you need the same speed over greater distance, this part will not reach.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.5 ft cable ship with any extra connectors or tools, or is it just the single RJ45-to-RJ45 cord?

The package contains only the single 0.5 ft Cat 8 patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors, couplers or tools are included.

The specs list 30 AWG stranded copper and 40 Gbps — should I pick this gauge for a 25 GbE uplink or a shorter 40 GbE link?

The 30 AWG stranded conductors keep the cable slim and flexible for patch panels or tight rack spaces, while still supporting the full 40 Gbps rating at 2 GHz bandwidth.

In a real 40 GbE switch port, what does the 2000 MHz bandwidth figure actually deliver?

The 2000 MHz bandwidth enables the cable to carry 40 Gbps signals over its 0.5 ft length with each of the four pairs foil-shielded to minimise crosstalk and signal loss.
