2 ft Cat8 shielded patch cable

This 2 ft Cat8 cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for indoor and outdoor runs.

Upgrade from Cat5e Cat6 Cat6a Cat7

The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment, so it drops into existing RJ45 ports without changes. The jump is worth it when you need 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps headroom for switch-to-server links or future 10 Gbps-plus devices.

Suited for short high-speed links

Ideal for data-centre patch panels, router-to-switch uplinks, IP cameras, consoles, NAS units and PoE gear within a 2 ft reach. Builders needing longer runs or different colour coding should look at other lengths.

Questions about this item

What connectors does the 2 ft Cat8 cable use?

Both ends terminate in RJ45 connectors with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and metal-shielded bodies.

How do you release the connector without damaging the tab?

Press the soft flex push tab down before pulling; the molded strain relief prevents the cable from kinking at the jack.

When should the cable be replaced?

Replace it if the jacket cracks, the braid frays, or the push tab no longer locks securely into the port.
