High-Speed Cat8 Ethernet Cable

This Cat8 network cable delivers 40Gbps data transfer rates with 2000MHz bandwidth for demanding networking tasks. The 100ft length suits indoor and outdoor installations connecting routers, modems, gaming consoles, PCs, smart TVs and network switches. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with existing Cat5e through Cat7 infrastructure.

Shielded Construction and Durability

Four shielded twisted pairs of 26AWG oxygen-free copper provide stable signal integrity and reduced crosstalk. A UV-resistant PVC jacket protects the cable from sunlight, moisture, extreme cold and heat for reliable outdoor performance. The heavy-duty build passes Fluke certification testing for consistent quality across the full run.

Upgrade From Older Category Cables

This cable replaces Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a links when 40Gbps throughput and 2000MHz bandwidth are required for high-speed internet plans, local file transfers or low-latency gaming. The jump is worthwhile when current cabling limits switch or router performance. It is not for buyers needing fibre-optic distances or installations requiring pre-terminated lengths shorter than 100ft.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 100ft Cat8 cable outdoors and what step is often missed?

Run the UV-resistant PVC jacketed cable along the planned route, secure it with clips or ties, then plug the gold-plated RJ45 connectors into each device; the step often missed is ensuring the shielded twisted pairs stay fully seated inside each RJ45 plug so the 2000MHz bandwidth is maintained.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat8 cable need over time?

The cable itself requires no scheduled maintenance; inspect the UV-resistant jacket annually for cracks after extreme weather, and replace the cable only if the 26AWG conductors or gold-plated RJ45 contacts show physical damage or corrosion.

What limit appears first when this cable runs at 40Gbps continuously?

The 2000MHz bandwidth ceiling of the Cat8 specification is the first limit; sustained 40Gbps traffic will not exceed it, but any future standard demanding higher frequency would require a new cable category.
