Nippon Labs 60CAT8-2-30BL 2 ft Cat.8 U/FTP Slim Network Ethernet Cable Blue 30AWG 2000MHz 40Gbps

SKU CH-R7WE-X85R7 MPN 60CAT8-2-30BL

A slim 2 ft Cat.8 patch cord with U/FTP shielding, 30 AWG stranded copper and gold-plated RJ45 plugs, rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps data rates

  • Cable category8
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Shielding(U/FTP) Each Pair Foil Shielded
  • Conductor gauge30 AWG
  • Product typeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • 40 Gbps transfer speed for demanding networks
  • 2000 MHz bandwidth supports 25G and 40GBASE-T
  • U/FTP foil shielding on every pair reduces interference
  • 30 AWG slim stranded copper fits tight spaces
  • 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion

Ideal for dense rack patches

This two-foot Cat.8 patch cord uses 30 AWG stranded copper and U/FTP foil shielding to deliver up to 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz. The slim profile and snagless RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold contacts fit tight cable managers and high-density switch ports.

Suits short-run 25 G and 40 G links

Installers who need a flexible, backward-compatible jumper for 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T between adjacent devices will appreciate the low-profile design. Builders requiring longer horizontal runs or in-wall rated cable should choose a different construction.

Handles 40 Gbps over two feet

The 30 AWG conductors and pair-level foil shielding comfortably support the full 2000 MHz bandwidth across the 2 ft length. Beyond this distance the thinner gauge increases attenuation, so extended runs need a heavier cable.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports must my devices have to use this 2 ft Cat.8 cable?

Any standard RJ45 port works; the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat.5e, Cat.6, Cat.6A and Cat.7 equipment.

Will this 30 AWG slim cable perform correctly when mixed with older Cat.6A patch cords in the same run?

Yes — it meets the 2000 MHz / 40 Gbps Cat.8 specification while remaining fully backward compatible with earlier categories.

How can I verify the cable is delivering its rated 2000 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Run a certification tester or a 40 Gbps link-speed check; a passing result confirms the 2 GHz bandwidth and 50 µm gold-plated contacts are functioning.
