2 ft Cat8 Slim Patch Cable

This two-foot Cat8 U/FTP cable uses 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. It is built for short runs between switches, servers or workstations that demand 25 GbE or 40 GbE links in tight spaces.

2 GHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rate

The cable is rated for 2000 MHz operation and up to 40 Gbps throughput, making the frequency and speed rating the single specification that decides whether it matches the target network gear.

Handles 25 GbE and 40 GbE over short distances

At two feet it comfortably serves rack-to-rack or desk-to-switch connections for 25 GbE and 40 GbE. Longer runs beyond the Cat8 channel limit will require a different cable length or fibre.

Questions about this item

Will the 40Gbps rating hold on a 2 ft run in my server rack?

Yes — the cable is specified for up to 40Gbps at 2 GHz bandwidth over its full 2 ft length, so the headline rate applies directly to this patch cord.

What does the U/FTP shielding and Cat 8 rating actually limit in a live link?

The foil-shielded pairs and Cat 8 construction support 2 GHz operation and are built for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, while remaining fully backward compatible with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 equipment.

Can the slim 30 AWG build and snagless boots fit cleanly into a dense 1U patch panel?

The 30 AWG stranded conductors keep the cable very flexible, and the snagless boot with soft push-tab is designed to release easily in tight spaces such as 1U panels.
