Nippon Labs Cat8 15 ft S/FTP cable

This 15-foot Category 8 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with individual foil shielding and an overall braid shield. It terminates in gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends and is rated for 2000 MHz operation. The grey PVC jacket carries a CM rating for indoor or outdoor installation.

Suited for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links

It fits data-centre switch-to-server runs, enterprise LAN backbones and high-speed home networks that demand the full Cat8 frequency envelope. Installations that only require Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a performance do not need this level of shielding and bandwidth.

2000 MHz operating frequency

The 2 GHz rating is the decisive figure; it guarantees headroom for emerging 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet standards over copper. Without that frequency certification the cable cannot be deployed in compliant 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T channels.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on each end of the 15 ft cable?

Both ends use RJ45 connectors with 50 µm gold-plated contacts, a metal-shielded housing and a snagless push tab for easy locking and unplugging.

How should the cable be routed to avoid damaging the internal shielding?

Lay the S/FTP cable in gentle curves without sharp bends or kinks, and use the molded strain relief at each connector to prevent pinching the foil and braid shields.

When might the RJ45 connectors need replacement?

Replace a connector if the gold plating wears through, the latch tab breaks, or corrosion appears after repeated mating cycles.
