4 ft Cat 8 patch cable

This four-foot Cat 8 patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with individual foil shielding and an overall braid shield. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends provide corrosion-resistant contact. The PVC jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor installation, including in-wall runs.

Upgrade from Cat 5e, Cat 6 or Cat 6A

The cable supports up to 40 Gbps data rates and 2000 MHz bandwidth, a significant jump over earlier categories. The improvement is worth it when the network gear on both ends can negotiate 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps links, or when shielding is needed to reject interference in dense cable bundles.

Handles 40 Gbps over short runs

At this length the cable comfortably carries 40 Gbps for switch-to-server or router-to-PC links. Performance drops when the run exceeds the Cat 8 channel limit, so longer distances need fiber or a lower category rated for the required reach.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the RJ45 connector need for its push-tab and moulded strain relief?

The soft-flex push tab and moulded strain relief require a few millimetres of space behind the port so the tab can depress fully and the boot clears the socket without snagging.

Does the 26 AWG stranded copper and double foil plus braid shielding change how I route the 4 ft cable through walls or conduit?

The stranded 26 AWG conductors and S/FTP construction keep the cable flexible for tight bends, but the overall diameter from foil and braid means you need conduit sized for a Cat 8 jacket rather than a thinner patch lead.

Will the 50 µm gold-plated contacts or PVC jacket need periodic replacement in an outdoor run?

The 50 µm gold plating resists corrosion and the PVC jacket is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so no scheduled contact or jacket replacement is required under normal conditions.
