Why choose it

This cable is engineered for demanding network environments where speed and signal integrity are critical. The S/FTP construction with individual pair shielding minimizes alien crosstalk, while the stranded bare copper conductors provide flexibility and durability. With support for 40 Gbps and 2000 MHz bandwidth, it is ready for current and future high-speed applications, including 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T. The grey PVC jacket is robust yet easy to route, and the cable is fully backward compatible with older Ethernet standards.

Ideal use cases

• Data centers and server rooms connecting switches, servers, and storage arrays
• High-performance workstations requiring low-latency network access
• Gaming setups where every millisecond counts
• Home networks with multi-gigabit internet or NAS devices
• Professional AV installations needing high-bandwidth IP-based video

Good to know

CAT 8 cables are designed for short-distance, high-speed links up to 30 meters in structured cabling. This 3-meter length is ideal for patching within racks or between adjacent equipment. The cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W (4PPoE), allowing it to power devices like access points or IP cameras without a separate power supply. Always pair with CAT 8 rated connectors and patch panels for optimal performance.
