Nippon Labs Cat8 2 ft Patch Cable

This Nippon Labs Cat8 patch cable uses shielded S/FTP construction with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and supports data rates up to 40 Gbps. The 2 ft red jacket is CM rated and built for indoor or outdoor use. Snagless boots and a soft flex push tab make insertion and removal easy.

Suited for short high-speed links

The cable fits switch-to-server, router, console, IP camera, NAS or patch-panel connections where a very short shielded run is required. It is backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment. It is not for buyers who need longer horizontal runs or who require fibre for distance or isolation.

2000 MHz / 40 Gbps Cat8 rating

The decisive specification is the Cat8 rating of 2000 MHz bandwidth with 40 Gbps throughput over copper RJ45. This determines whether the cable meets the performance tier needed for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat 8 cable work with my existing Cat 6 router and Cat 5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 RJ45 cabling and equipment.

How can I verify the 2000 MHz bandwidth is active after I plug it in?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface; a negotiated 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps connection confirms the 2 GHz bandwidth is in use.

Does the 2 ft red cable include both RJ45 ends or do I need separate connectors?

Both ends come with gold-plated RJ45 connectors already terminated; no additional connectors are required.
