High-Speed Network Performance
Designed for 25G and 40GBASE-T networks, this Cat8 Ethernet cable supports blazing fast transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps with a 2000 MHz bandwidth, delivering four times the throughput of Cat6a cables.
Ideal for connecting 25G/40G switches, Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SANs), and SFP modules with reliable, low-latency performance.
Premium Build Quality and Materials
Constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, the cable ensures excellent conductivity and low resistance for superior signal transmission.
Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) technology, featuring aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- 50-micro gold-plated snagless RJ45 connectors rated beyond 750 mating cycles
- Flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for safer installations in sensitive environments
Safety and Durability
The LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes under fire conditions, suitable for industrial, self-contained, and residential installations requiring compliance with fire safety standards.
Rated to tolerate bends of ±90°, this cable navigates tight spaces without damaging the internal conductors, maintaining network integrity.
Versatile Compatibility and Power Delivery
Supports up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE++) enabling powering of devices like PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras through a single cable.
Backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a standards for seamless integration into existing network setups.
