DSIT CAT 8 S/FTP PiMF RJ45 Network Patch Cable, 0.25 m, Blue, 40 Gbps, 2000 MHz

In a dense server rack or a high-speed home office, this DSIT CAT 8 patch cable keeps your 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet links stable over short distances. The 0.25 m length is perfect for tidy connections between adjacent ports, patch panels, or a switch and a nearby device, eliminating cable clutter without sacrificing performance.

Key specifications

• Category 8 (CAT 8) rated for up to 40 Gbps data transfer and 2000 MHz bandwidth
• S/FTP shielding with PiMF (Pairs in Metal Foil) for superior crosstalk and EMI protection
• RJ45 male to RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts
• Short 0.25 m length ideal for high-density rack installations
• Stranded copper conductors (AWG 26/7) for flexibility and durability
• PVC jacket in blue for easy identification
• Backward compatible with CAT 7a, 7, 6a, 6, 5e
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Why choose it

The PiMF construction wraps each twisted pair in its own metal foil, then adds an overall braided shield. This double-layer protection virtually eliminates alien crosstalk, ensuring error-free transmission even in electrically noisy environments. The blue PVC jacket is both flexible and tough, while the gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term reliability.

Ideal use cases

• Server rooms and data centers: connect servers to top-of-rack switches with minimal slack
• High-performance workstations: link 10G/25G/40G network cards to nearby switches
• Home networks: future-proof short runs for gaming PCs, NAS devices, and media servers
• Patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling systems

Good to know

CAT 8 is fully backward compatible with earlier categories, so this cable works with any Ethernet device. Its 0.25 m length is specifically chosen for high-density environments where longer cables would create unnecessary loops. The stranded conductors allow repeated bending without breakage, making it suitable for frequent re-patching.
