Cat8 cable for 40Gbps links

This Nippon Labs Cat8 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications over a 5 ft length. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.

Suited for short high-speed links.

The cable works with routers, switches, servers, consoles, IP cameras, NAS devices and PoE equipment, and remains backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 hardware. Builders who need extended distances for 40Gbps operation should choose a different solution, as the supported reach at that speed is limited.

5 ft length decides the use case

At five feet the cable is intended for rack adjacency, desktop patches or console connections where the short run keeps insertion loss within Cat8 limits. Longer channels for 40Gbps require a different cable construction, so verify the required distance before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated RJ45 connectors need replacement over time?

The 50 µm gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and the snagless push-tab design reduces mechanical wear during repeated insertion.

What limits the 40 Gbps speed on a 5 ft run?

The 2000 MHz bandwidth rating supports 40 Gbps at this length; longer runs would hit the Cat8 channel limit first.

Does the double-shielded jacket get warm during all-day PoE use?

The 24 AWG bare-copper conductors and S/FTP shielding keep temperature rise minimal even with continuous PoE loads.
