Nippon Labs Cat8 3 ft S/FTP cable

The Nippon Labs 60CAT8-3-24RD is a Cat8 patch cable built for 40 Gbps data rates at 2000 MHz. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with individual foil and overall braid shielding, terminated in gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The 3 ft length suits short rack runs or desk connections.

Suited for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links.

This cable targets installers who need certified Cat8 performance for switch-to-server links or high-speed home gear. It is backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment. Buyers who need longer distances or outdoor burial ratings should look at other options.

2000 MHz bandwidth enables 40 Gbps over copper

The defining specification is the 2000 MHz operating frequency, which supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T signalling over the 3 ft span. Shielded construction and 50 µm gold contacts preserve signal integrity at those frequencies.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports must my router, switch or device provide for this Cat8 cable to connect?

Any standard RJ45 port works; the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment.

Will this cable work properly if I plug it into my existing Cat6a patch panel and Cat6 wall jacks?

Yes, the Cat8 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat6 and all earlier RJ45 cabling, so it will operate at the highest speed the linked equipment supports.

How can I verify the link is running at the cable’s rated 40 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the switch or router port status LEDs or management interface; a 40 Gbps link will be reported as 40GBASE-T when both ends negotiate that speed.
