Gray Cat8 Ethernet cable, 10 ft, RJ45 connectors, shielded jacket

Nippon Labs

Nippon Labs 60CAT8-10-26GY Cat8 network ethernet cable 10 ft 26 AWG shielded 40 Gbps 2000 MHz gray

SKU CH-8E0K-JR3RJ MPN 60CAT8-10-26GY

A 10 ft shielded Cat8 patch cable with 26 AWG conductors rated for 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz, backward compatible with earlier categories

  • Cable category8
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Conductor gauge26 AWG
  • Product typeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Overall length10 ft (3.05 m)
  • Supports 40 Gbps speeds for 40GBASE-T networks
  • 2000 MHz bandwidth handles emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T standards
  • S/FTP shielding with foil per pair and overall braid blocks outside interference
  • 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with 50 µm gold-plated contacts reduce signal loss
  • Backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 equipment

Ideal for 25G and 40G links

This Cat8 patch cable delivers up to 40 Gbps data rates and 2000 MHz bandwidth over a 10 ft run. Shielded S/FTP construction with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors supports emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks. RJ45 plugs with 50 micron gold contacts ensure reliable connectivity for routers, switches, PCs and gaming gear.

Verify connector clearance and routing

Confirm that your equipment uses standard RJ45 ports and that the 10 ft length suits the intended path between devices. The double-shielded jacket adds diameter, so check conduit or trunking space if running in-wall. Outdoor-rated PVC withstands weather exposure, but ensure both ends remain accessible for the snagless push-tab release.

Replaces Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 patch cords

Upgrading is worthwhile when your switch, router or NIC negotiates 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps links and existing cables limit throughput. The higher 2000 MHz frequency headroom also reduces crosstalk on dense cable runs. For 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps gear the jump adds cost without speed benefit, so match the cable to your active hardware capability.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 ft Cat8 cable come with any extra accessories or do I need to buy couplers separately?

The package contains only the single 10 ft shielded Cat8 patch cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no couplers, mounting clips or other accessories are included.

Should I choose the 26 AWG stranded version or is a solid-core option available for in-wall runs?

This model uses 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors, which are flexible for patching; a solid-conductor variant is not offered under this part number.

Will the 2000 MHz rating actually deliver 40 Gbps on my home router and PC?

The cable supports up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rates, but real-world speed depends on your router, switch and network cards also supporting 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T.
