Two-foot Cat8 patch cable

The Nippon Labs 60CAT8-2-26OR is a 2 ft Category 8 Ethernet patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is built for installers and network administrators who need a short, shielded link between a switch, router, modem or PC in a rack, wall plate or desktop run.

2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps headroom

The cable is rated for 2000 MHz operation and supports data rates up to 40 Gbps, matching the 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T emerging standards. Backward compatibility covers existing Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 infrastructure, so the same cable works when older gear remains in place.

S/FTP shielding with gold-plated RJ45 plugs

Each of the four 26 AWG stranded copper pairs is foil wrapped and the overall bundle carries a braid shield, giving S/FTP protection against alien crosstalk and EMI. The moulded snagless boots, 50 µm gold-plated contacts and metal-shielded connector bodies resist wear from repeated mating cycles, while the PVC jacket handles in-wall and indoor/outdoor routing.

Questions about this item

Will this 2 ft Cat8 cable work with my existing Cat6a router and switch ports?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a equipment, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 2000 MHz bandwidth is actually being used after I plug it in?

Check the link speed reported by your OS or switch management interface; a 40 Gbps or 25 Gbps negotiation confirms the 2 GHz channel is active.

Does the 2 ft orange patch cable include any extra connectors or mounting hardware, or is it just the cable with RJ45 plugs?

The box contains only the 2 ft S/FTP patch cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional couplers, clips or tools are supplied.
