Cat 8 cable for 25 GbE and 40 GbE links

This 7 ft Cat 8 patch cord is rated for 2 GHz bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps data rates, making it suitable for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks. The 30 AWG stranded copper conductors keep the cable slim for routing in tight spaces. Fully shielded U/FTP construction with foil around each pair reduces alien crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts (50 µm) and T568B wiring complete the link.

Suitable for high-density racks

Builders who need a thin, flexible cable for dense patch panels or short switch-to-server runs will benefit from the reduced diameter. Installations that require solid-conductor cable for longer horizontal runs or PoE budgets beyond what 30 AWG can carry should select a different gauge. The CM-rated PVC jacket covers general indoor use but is not rated for plenum spaces.

Shielded pairs maintain signal integrity under load

Each of the four twisted pairs is individually foil-shielded, limiting crosstalk when the link runs at sustained 2000 MHz. The stranded conductors and snagless boots survive repeated re-seating without degrading contact resistance. Oxygen-free copper keeps insertion loss low during continuous 40 Gbps throughput. The molded strain relief prevents sharp bends that would otherwise raise return loss over time.

Questions about this item

Do I need equipment with RJ45 ports rated for 2000 MHz to use this cable?

The cable has RJ45 connectors on both ends and is fully backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 hardware, so it will work with any standard RJ45 port.

Will the 30 AWG conductors limit performance when I keep my older Cat6 patch panel?

No. The cable meets Cat8 specifications up to 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz while remaining fully backward compatible, so the thinner gauge does not reduce speed on legacy links.

How can I verify the link is running at 40 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the negotiated speed in your operating system network settings or switch management interface; it should show 40 Gbps when both ends support Cat8 40GBASE-T.
