Cat 8 Cable for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T Links

This 5-foot Cat 8 patch cord is built for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T networks where bandwidth up to 2000 MHz matters. It suits small and medium enterprise LANs and data-centre switch-to-server runs. Backward compatibility covers Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 RJ45 equipment.

Shielded F/FTP Build with Gold RJ45 Plugs

The cable uses 26 AWG single-strand OFC conductors inside a foil-and-braid shield (F/FTP) and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Terminations are standard RJ45, so the plug fits any RJ45 jack without adapters. Take care not to exceed the minimum bend radius when routing through tight trunking; sharp kinks can degrade the shielding performance.

Sustained 40 Gbps Throughput Over 5 Feet

At this length the cable maintains its rated 40 Gbps data rate under continuous load, supporting uninterrupted HD streaming, large-file transfers and low-latency gaming. The double shielding suppresses alien crosstalk during long transfers, so throughput stays stable rather than dropping after an initial burst.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 40Gbps after connecting it?

Link a 40GBASE-T switch and server, then confirm the interface negotiates 40Gbps with no errors reported by the OS or switch counters.

What is included in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the 5FT Cat 8 cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors; no couplers, adapters or additional cables are supplied.

Which version should I choose for a 25GBASE-T home lab?

This 26AWG F/FTP Cat 8 cable rated for 2000MHz supports both 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, so the 5FT length is suitable for short rack runs.
