Short patch cord for dense racks

This 2 ft Cat 8 patch cord uses 24 AWG shielded conductors rated for 2000 MHz operation. The white jacket and S/FTP construction support 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links while remaining fully backward compatible with existing RJ45 equipment. Gold-plated contacts and a pure copper core provide reliable signal integrity in tight server-to-switch runs.

Ideal for data-centre cross-connects

Network engineers linking switches to servers inside a cabinet will appreciate the short length and high-frequency headroom. Installers who need longer horizontal runs, outdoor burial or PoE budgets beyond the cable’s gauge should select a different product. Home users with only gigabit gear will not use the extra bandwidth this cord provides.

Verify port spacing and bend radius

Confirm that 2 ft reaches between your patch-panel ports and switch ports without tension. Check that the S/FTP jacket fits your cable-management trays and that the minimum bend radius is respected in the rack. Ensure both ends terminate in standard RJ45 jacks before ordering.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports must my devices have for this Cat 8 cable to connect?

Both ends use standard RJ45 connectors, so any device with an RJ45 Ethernet port — router, switch, PC, console, printer, patch panel — will accept the plug.

Will this 2 GHz shielded cable work with my existing Cat 6a patch panel and Cat 5e wall jacks?

Yes. The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 RJ45 cabling and equipment, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.

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

Check the port status on your switch or OS network adapter; it should report a 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps connection when both ends support 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T.
