Cat8 shielded patch cable, 3 ft

This Nippon Labs cable is a Category 8 Ethernet patch lead with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It uses 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors, each pair foil shielded with an overall braid shield. The PVC jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor use. Gold plated contacts on the connectors aim to reduce corrosion.

Suited for 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps copper links

It supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps, making it appropriate for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T equipment. The short three foot length fits rack patching, desk connections or direct device links. Builders who need longer runs or lower category cables for slower ports should look elsewhere.

2000 MHz bandwidth over copper

The decisive specification is the 2 GHz (2000 MHz) operating frequency that enables 40 Gbps throughput on standard RJ45 connectors. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether the cable matches the speed rating of the connected hardware.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3 ft length or a longer run for my desk-to-router link?

The 3 ft length suits short rack or desk connections; longer runs are available separately if you need more reach.

What does the 2000 MHz rating mean when the cable is plugged into my switch?

It supports up to 2 GHz bandwidth, enabling 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T speeds over the 3 ft distance.

Is the RJ45 connector limited to a specific Ethernet standard?

The shielded RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold contacts work with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 equipment.
