Short yellow Cat8 patch cable with slim RJ45 plugs on both ends

Nippon Labs

Nippon Labs 60CAT8-2-30YW 2 ft Cat8 network ethernet cable 30AWG U/FTP 2000 MHz 40Gbps yellow

SKU CH-XJMJ-W908J MPN 60CAT8-2-30YW

A 2 ft Cat8 patch cable with 30 AWG stranded copper conductors, U/FTP shielding, gold-plated RJ45 connectors and 2000 MHz bandwidth for 40 Gbps networks

  • Cable category8
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Conductor gauge30 AWG
  • Product typeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Overall length2 ft (0.61 m)
  • Supports 40 Gbps transfer speeds with 2000 MHz bandwidth
  • 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors reduce signal loss
  • Each twisted pair foil shielded to block external interference
  • 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion
  • Snagless molded strain relief protects the connector during handling

Ideal for short 40Gbps links

This 2 ft Cat8 patch cord uses 30AWG stranded copper conductors with U/FTP foil shielding to deliver up to 40Gbps at 2000 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot suit dense rack or desk connections where space is tight. The yellow CM PVC jacket aids quick identification in crowded panels.

Build integration and cable management

The slim 30AWG profile bends easily around tight corners and fits through narrow trunking without blocking adjacent ports. Each twisted pair is individually foil-wrapped, so external interference stays low even when the cable runs beside power leads. T568B wiring and backward compatibility let it drop into existing Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A or Cat7 infrastructure without re-termination.

Capacity headroom and limits

Rated for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, the cord handles full 40Gbps throughput at its specified 2000 MHz bandwidth. Length is fixed at 2 ft, so longer horizontal runs need a different cable. Shielding and conductor gauge are optimised for short reach; they do not extend the 30 m channel limit defined for Cat8.

Questions about this item

How far can this cable reliably carry a 40 Gbps signal?

The 2 ft length keeps the 40 Gbps rating within Cat 8 channel limits.

Does the foil shielding and slim jacket run hot or draw extra power in continuous use?

Passive copper cable produces no heat and consumes no power beyond the connected ports.

What port speed must my switch or NIC already support to use the 40 Gbps rating?

Both ends need 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps RJ45 ports; the cable is backward compatible with slower ports.
