Ideal for high-speed networking

This Nippon Labs Cat8 cable delivers up to 40Gbps data rates at 2,000 MHz bandwidth using 30AWG stranded pure copper conductors. The 5 ft gray U/FTP patch cord suits data centres, server rooms or workstations that demand maximum throughput over short copper runs.

Verify your hardware supports 25/40GBASE-T

Confirm that both endpoints negotiate 25 or 40 Gbps and that your switch or NIC ports are rated for Cat8 performance. The RJ45 plugs follow T568B wiring with 50 µm gold-plated contacts, so legacy 5e, 6, 6A and 7 links will fall back to their native speeds automatically.

Slim profile eases thermal airflow

At 30 AWG the jacket is thin enough to route through dense cable managers without blocking chassis fans or adding measurable heat. Foil shielding on each pair plus an overall metal-shielded connector keeps alien crosstalk low, so the link stays stable without extra power draw or active cooling.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use the 5 ft Cat8 cable?

The package contains the 5 ft Cat8 U/FTP slim Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. No additional parts are required for a standard wired connection.

The cable is listed as 30 AWG stranded copper — when would I choose this gauge over a thicker one?

The 30 AWG stranded conductors make the cable very flexible and easy to route in tight spaces, while still supporting up to 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz performance.

What does the 2000 MHz / 40 Gbps rating mean when the cable is plugged into my router or switch?

The cable is certified for up to 2000 MHz bandwidth and 40 Gbps data rates, and is fully backwards compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment.
