Slim Cat8 cable for high-speed networks

This 5 ft Cat8 patch cord uses 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and U/FTP foil shielding on each pair. It supports up to 40 Gbps data rates and 2000 MHz bandwidth for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links. The slim profile suits tight routing in racks or desk setups.

Snagless RJ45 plugs with gold contacts

Molded strain relief and a soft flex push tab make insertion and removal simple in dense panels. Each connector has 50 micron gold plated contacts and a metal shielded housing. The T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with existing gear.

Handles 40 Gbps over short runs

At this length the cable comfortably carries 40 Gbps for server uplinks, switch stacking or workstation links. Performance drops beyond the Cat8 channel limit so longer distances need fibre or active optics. Backward compatibility covers Cat5e through Cat7 equipment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 40 Gbps after connecting it?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management interface; it should negotiate at 40 Gbps when both ends support 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T at 2000 MHz.

What accessories are included and what must I purchase separately?

The cable arrives terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends, gold-plated contacts, and a CM PVC jacket; no additional connectors or tools are required for a standard patch-cord installation.

Which version should I pick for a 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T link?

This Cat 8 U/FTP slim cable is rated for 2000 MHz and up to 40 Gbps, making it the correct choice for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks.
