Cat8 7 ft S/FTP Ethernet Cable

This Cat8 patch cable uses 24 AWG pure copper conductors with individual foil and overall braid shielding to reach 2000 MHz bandwidth. It supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links up to 40 Gbps while remaining fully backward compatible with Cat5 through Cat7 equipment. The 7 ft blue PVC jacket is CM rated for indoor and outdoor use.

Verify Port Speed and Cable Run Before Ordering

Confirm that your router, switch or device ports are rated for at least the speed you intend to use, because the cable cannot exceed the port capability. Ensure the 7 ft length reaches between your two endpoints without tension, and that the RJ45 latch clearance fits any recessed ports on your hardware. The CM-rated jacket handles typical indoor and outdoor environments but is not plenum rated for air-handling spaces.

Shielded Connectors and Snagless Boots Improve

Each end carries a metal-shielded RJ45 plug with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and a soft-flex push tab that eases insertion and removal. Molded strain relief and a snagless boot protect the latch from catching on cable bundles or rack edges. The S/FTP construction reduces alien crosstalk in dense patch-panel deployments, helping maintain signal integrity at 2 GHz.

Questions about this item

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

The package contains the 7 ft Cat8 patch cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends. No additional parts are required — plug it into any RJ45 port and it works.

Should I choose this 7 ft length or a different one for my setup?

Pick the 7 ft version when the router, switch or console is within about two metres. Longer runs need a longer cable; shorter runs can use a shorter one to avoid slack.

What does the 2000 MHz rating mean for actual throughput on my network?

The 2 GHz bandwidth supports up to 40 Gbps over short copper links, so 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T gear can run at line rate provided both ends and the switch ports match that speed.
