Nippon Labs 60CAT8-1-26GY 1 ft Cat8 network ethernet cable 26AWG S/FTP 2000 MHz 40 Gbps gray

1 ft Cat8 patch cable for 40 Gbps links

This 1 ft Cat8 patch cord uses 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with S/FTP shielding to deliver up to 40 Gbps at 2 GHz bandwidth. It targets data-centre switch-to-server runs and high-performance desktop links where a short, shielded jumper is required. The grey jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor use.

Sustained throughput at 2 GHz bandwidth

The cable maintains its 2000 MHz rating across the full 1 ft length, supporting continuous 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps traffic without the signal degradation seen on lower-category cables at the same frequency. Double aluminium-foil pair shielding plus an overall braid suppress alien crosstalk during prolonged heavy loads. Backward compatibility ensures it negotiates down to existing Cat5e through Cat7 equipment.

Low-profile build with gold-plated RJ45 ends

Molded strain relief and a snagless push tab protect the 50 µm gold-plated contacts during repeated insertion cycles. The slim 26 AWG construction stays flexible for tight rack routing while the PVC outer jacket resists abrasion in both indoor and outdoor environments. Shielded metal connector housings maintain grounding continuity end to end.
