SKU CH-6Q2E-6GG2Q MPN 60CAT8-5-30PU

A 5 ft purple Cat8 patch cable rated for 2000 MHz and 40 Gbps with 30 AWG stranded copper, foil-shielded pairs, gold-plated RJ45 connectors and a slim CM PVC jacket

  • Cable category8
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Product typeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Overall length5 ft (1.52 m)
  • Product colorPurple
  • 40 Gbps maximum data rate for high-speed networking
  • 2000 MHz bandwidth supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T
  • 30 AWG stranded copper conductors enable slim, flexible routing
  • 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion
  • U/FTP foil shielding on each pair reduces interference

Purpose and fit

This Cat8 patch cord targets installers who need 40 Gbps throughput in a 5 ft purple run. The 30 AWG stranded copper and U/FTP foil shielding suit emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links while remaining fully backward compatible with existing Cat5e through Cat7 infrastructure.

Build and connectors

Each of the four pairs is individually foil wrapped beneath an overall CM PVC jacket, keeping the cable slim for tight routing. RJ45 plugs carry 50 micron gold contacts, a metal shielded shell, molded strain relief and a snagless soft flex tab that eases repeated insertion and removal.

Standard limits

The 2000 MHz rating supports up to 40 Gbps over the specified length, but the Cat8 standard itself restricts maximum channel distance to 30 metres for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T operation. Installers planning longer runs must verify total link budget before deployment.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Cat8 2000 MHz rating actually cap in practice?

The cable is rated for up to 2000 MHz and supports data rates up to 40 Gbps, suitable for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks.

What physical space does the 30AWG slim cable and RJ45 connectors need to fit?

The 30AWG stranded copper conductors give a smaller diameter than standard cables, while the RJ45 plugs with molded strain relief and snagless tabs fit standard ports.

How is the T568B wired cable installed, and what step do people often miss?

Plug each RJ45 connector into a compatible port until the soft flex tab clicks; the gold-plated contacts and metal-shielded housing ensure a secure, shielded connection.
