Nippon Labs 60CAT8-5-24BK-10P network ethernet cable 5 ft black S/FTP 24 AWG 2 GHz 40 Gbps 10 pack

Cat 8 S/FTP 24 AWG 10-pack

This ten-pack supplies ten shielded Category 8 patch cords, each five feet long with RJ45 plugs on both ends. The cables use stranded 24 AWG pure copper conductors wrapped in individual foil shields and an overall braid. Gold-plated contacts and a snagless, strain-relieved boot complete each connector. They are rated for 2 GHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps data rates.

Suited for dense 25G and 40G links.

The short length and heavy shielding make the cables a good fit for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections inside a cabinet where 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T ports are deployed. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, in-wall installations or outdoor burial should look at different cable constructions because this product is a five-foot patch cord with a PVC jacket rated only for indoor use.

Fits tight patch panels and high-density switches

The snagless boot and flexible stranded conductors let the cables route cleanly through crowded 1U panels without blocking adjacent ports. Backward compatibility with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 equipment means the same cords can serve legacy 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps gear today and move to 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps ports later without rewiring.
