Hama 00200694 networking cable Black 5 m Cat8 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Hama 00200694 networking cable is a Cat8, 5 m Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It supports Gigabit and higher data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and features a slim black design with robust construction for reliable performance in home and office networks.

Advantages

This Cat8 cable uses S/FTP (double shielding) to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure stable signal quality. The halogen-free (LSZH) jacket improves safety by being flame-retardant and emitting minimal smoke and no corrosive gases in case of fire. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide low contact resistance for secure transmission, while flexible materials and kink protection reduce the risk of cable breakage. The slimline plug is suitable for use with mobile and flat devices or in confined spaces.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch, network card) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve reliable contact. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it close to strong sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal transmission quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat8 cable within its specified 5 m length for 40 Gbps links; for longer runs, verify device compatibility and supported link speeds. Regularly inspect connectors and the LSZH jacket for damage and replace the cable if the shielding or plug integrity is compromised.
