Nippon Labs 80C8SS-7005RB Cat8.1 network ethernet cable 1000 ft blue S/FTP 23AWG CMR

Nippon Labs Cat8.1 1000 ft bulk cable

This Nippon Labs Cat8.1 bulk Ethernet cable supplies 1000 feet of blue S/FTP cable for installers running high-speed links in data centres or enterprise racks. The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and overall tinned copper braid support 25G and 40G applications up to 30 metres. CMR riser rating allows vertical runs between floors. Sequential footage markings simplify length tracking during pulls.

Pulling and terminating S/FTP Cat8.1

Solid 23 AWG conductors make the cable stiffer than stranded patch cord, so allow generous bend radius when routing through trays or conduit. Each of the four pairs carries its own foil shield beneath the outer braid, so strip carefully to avoid nicking the drain wires. Terminating to RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks requires Cat8-rated connectors and a compatible crimp tool; standard Cat6 tools will not seat the thicker insulation correctly. Verify the CMR jacket meets local fire code before installing in riser spaces.

Sustained throughput on 25G and 40G links

The dual-layer S/FTP construction suppresses alien crosstalk and EMI, keeping error rates low during continuous 25G or 40G traffic. At 2000 MHz bandwidth the cable maintains signal integrity over the full 30 metre channel defined for Cat8.1. Solid copper and the tinned copper braid resist oxidation, so insertion loss remains stable after repeated patching cycles. Performance holds across the rated distance without the throughput roll-off seen on shorter-spec cables under constant load.
