Short reach, high bandwidth

This 1 ft Cat 8 patch cord is built for installers and enthusiasts who need maximum throughput over a very short run. Its 30 AWG stranded copper conductors and U/FTP foil shielding support up to 40 Gbps at 2 GHz, making it suitable for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links between switches, servers or a desktop NIC and a nearby wall jack.

Dense rack or desk routing

The slim 30 AWG jacket and snagless molded boots allow the cable to bend tightly in crowded patch panels, cable trays or behind furniture without blocking adjacent ports. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a metal-shielded plug shell maintain signal integrity, while the soft flex push tab eases insertion and removal in confined spaces.

Speed ceiling and distance limit

Rated for 40 Gbps up to 2 GHz bandwidth, the cable handles current high-speed copper standards within its 1 ft length. Beyond this reach, Cat 8 specification drops to 25 Gbps at 30 m, so longer runs require a different cable class. It remains fully backward compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 equipment.

Questions about this item

What maximum data rate does this Cat 8 cable support?

The cable is rated for up to 40Gbps transfer speeds over its 1 ft length.

How much heat does the cable generate during continuous operation?

Passive copper cables produce no measurable heat during normal network use.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this cable to work?

Both endpoints need standard RJ45 jacks — switches, routers, servers or NICs — and the cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e through Cat 7 equipment.
