7 ft Cat 8 shielded patch cable

This 7 ft purple cable is built to the Cat 8 standard with 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and full S/FTP shielding. RJ45 connectors on both ends carry 50 µm gold-plated contacts and a snagless, strain-relieved boot. The jacket is PVC and rated for indoor or outdoor installation.

Installers who need 40 Gbps headroom

The cable supports up to 40 Gbps and 2 GHz bandwidth, making it suitable for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links. It remains fully backward compatible with existing Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6A infrastructure. Builds that only require slower speeds or thinner, unshielded cables can use a lower category instead.

26 AWG stranded copper with double shielding

Each of the four twisted pairs is individually foil-wrapped and the bundle is surrounded by a braid shield, providing strong alien-crosstalk protection for high-frequency operation. The 26 AWG stranded conductors keep the cable flexible for routing through walls or around equipment racks.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 7 ft Cat 8 cable with its moulded RJ45 plugs need behind a patch panel?

The cable is 7 ft long with standard RJ45 plugs on both ends; allow enough depth for the moulded boot and the 26 AWG stranded copper jacket to bend without kinking.

Which step do installers most often miss when terminating this S/FTP Cat 8 cable to a keystone jack?

They forget to fold back and trim the overall braid shield and each pair’s foil before punching down the 26 AWG conductors, leaving the shield floating and degrading the 2 GHz performance.

When should the purple Cat 8 patch cord be replaced in a 40 Gbps link?

Replace it if the gold-plated contacts show wear, the PVC jacket cracks, or the foil and braid shields are damaged, because any shield break reduces the 2000 MHz bandwidth headroom.
