Shielded round Cat 8 Ethernet cable with moulded RJ45 connectors, 25 metres long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Torpedo Nova Shielded Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 40Gbps 2000MHz 25M

SKU CH-XVWJ-R688B

A 25 m shielded Cat 8 patch cable delivering 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz with pure copper conductors and full SFTP shielding for interference-free 8K streaming and PoE++ power

Length 25M

  • 40Gbps speed and 2000MHz bandwidth for 8K streaming
  • Pure copper conductors ensure low resistance and stable PoE++ power
  • SFTP double shielding blocks crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • Molded strain relief protects joints from bending and pulling damage
  • 25M round flexible cord fits cabinets and is backward compatible

Product Identity

This 25‑metre shielded Cat 8 patch cable delivers 40Gbps at 2000MHz for servers, NAS units and 8K video workflows. Solid pure‑copper conductors and full SFTP double‑layer shielding suppress crosstalk and EMI in dense rack or home‑office environments. Molded strain relief on both RJ45 plugs protects the joints from repeated bending.

Deciding Specification

The cable is rated for 40Gbps throughput and 2000MHz bandwidth, matching the Cat 8 standard required by 40G uplinks and uncompressed 8K streams. Backward compatibility with Cat 7, Cat 6a, Cat 6 and Cat 5e lets it drop into existing links, but it will not exceed the speed of the slowest connected port.

Thermals Noise Power

Passive copper construction produces no fan noise and adds negligible heat to a rack. PoE++ current travels through 100% oxygen‑free conductors with low resistance, keeping voltage drop minimal over the full 25‑metre run. The round SFTP jacket resists kinking, so signal integrity remains stable without active cooling.

Questions about this item

What does the 40Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my equipment?

The 40Gbps figure is the maximum throughput the Cat 8 design can carry; your actual speed will be limited by the slowest port or device in the link, so a 10GbE switch will still run at 10Gbps.

Which interface standard does the cable use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses standard RJ45 connectors built to the Cat 8 specification, supporting up to 40Gbps at 2000MHz bandwidth over the full 25-metre length while remaining backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6 and Cat5e hardware.

What physical space or mounting does the 25-metre round cable need?

The round jacket and moulded strain-relief boots allow tidy routing through cabinets, racks or trunking; allow enough slack for the connector boots and the cable’s bend radius when planning the run.
