What this cable is for

This Nippon Labs Cat8 Ethernet cable is built for installers and network engineers who need 25G or 40G Base-T links across long runs. The 500-foot bulk reel suits structured cabling in data centres, enterprise LANs and high-density patching jobs where shielded performance is required.

Deciding specification

The cable operates at 2 GHz (2000 MHz) and is rated for 40 Gbps throughput, making bandwidth the single figure that determines whether it matches your switch-to-server or backbone design. It meets the Cat 8 standard and passes Fluke DSX-8000 channel testing at 30 metre.

Capacity and headroom

With 23 AWG solid conductors, dual foil and braid shielding and an 8.0 mm outer diameter, the cable handles PoE++ loads and dense bundles without signal loss. Runs beyond the 30 metre channel limit or installations needing tighter bend radius will exceed the verified performance envelope.

Questions about this item

What does the 2 GHz bandwidth mean for actual network speeds?

The 2 GHz rating supports 25G and 40G Base-T applications, delivering up to 40 Gbps throughput over 30 metre channels tested with Fluke DSX-8000.

Which connector standard does this cable use and what does it limit?

RJ45 connectors on both ends keep full backward compatibility with Cat5 through Cat7 equipment while capping each link at the 40 Gbps Cat8 ceiling.

What physical space does the 8.0 mm diameter cable need for routing?

The 23 AWG solid conductors and double shielding give an 8.0 mm outside diameter, so allow at least that much clearance in conduit, tray or patch-panel openings.
