7 ft Cat8 shielded patch cable

This 7 ft Cat8 cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and supports data rates up to 40 Gbps for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for indoor and outdoor runs. Backward compatibility covers Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment.

Suited for high-speed LAN and PoE gear

The cable serves switches, routers, servers, NAS boxes, IP cameras, smart TVs, consoles and PoE devices that need 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps throughput. Buyers who only require 1 Gbps links for basic home networking will not need the extra shielding and frequency headroom this category provides. Installations demanding fibre distances or outdoor burial ratings should look at other media.

Snagless RJ45 plugs with strain relief

Molded boots and a soft flex push tab make insertion and removal simple while protecting the latch from breakage. The double-shielded construction adds stiffness, so tight bends behind racks or along baseboards need a gentle radius to avoid kinking. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, but the connectors are not rated for repeated industrial mating cycles.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports must my router or switch provide for this Cat8 cable to connect?

Any standard RJ45 port works; the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 equipment.

Will this 7 ft Cat8 cable run at 40 Gbps when plugged into my older Cat6a switch?

The link will negotiate to the highest speed both ends support, so a Cat6a port limits the connection to 10 Gbps even though the cable is rated for 40 Gbps.

How can I verify the cable is delivering its rated 2 GHz bandwidth after installation?

Run a certified cable qualifier or a 25GBASE-T / 40GBASE-T link test; a pass confirms the 2000 MHz performance.
