DSIT CAT 8 S/FTP PiMF RJ45 Network Cable, 5m, Grey – 40 Gbps, 2000 MHz, Gold-Plated Contacts

High-speed networks demand cables that can keep pace with 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet, and this DSIT CAT 8 cable delivers exactly that. With S/FTP shielding and PiMF construction, it eliminates crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring error-free transmission even in dense server rooms and data centers. The 5-meter grey cable is ready for the most demanding applications, from 4K/8K video streaming to large file transfers and cloud computing.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT professionals, and enthusiasts who need a future-proof backbone for their high-performance infrastructure. Ideal for connecting switches, routers, NAS devices, and workstations in environments where reliability and speed are non-negotiable.

Main features

• CAT 8 performance: supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer and 2000 MHz bandwidth.
• S/FTP shielding: overall braided screen plus foil per twisted pair for maximum interference rejection.
• PiMF (Pairs in Metal Foil): each pair individually wrapped in foil to prevent alien crosstalk.
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors: corrosion-resistant and ensure consistent signal quality.
• Bare copper conductors (22 AWG stranded): excellent conductivity and flexibility for easy installation.
• Backward compatible with CAT 7a, CAT 7, CAT 6a, CAT 6, and CAT 5e networks.
• Durable PVC jacket: protects against wear and tear in high-traffic areas.
• Supports PoE, PoE+, and UPoE for powering devices over the same cable.

Tips

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from power lines. When connecting to older equipment, the cable will automatically negotiate the highest common speed. Use cable ties to manage excess length and maintain airflow in racks.
