Networking Cable UNITEK C18149AGY03-5M RJ-45 Cat8 5m Black

The UNITEK C18149AGY03-5M is a Cat8 RJ-45 networking cable, 5 m long and finished in black. It supports bandwidths up to 2000 MHz and data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps, with S/FTP (double shielded) construction to reduce interference and ensure a stable wired connection for high-bandwidth tasks.

Advantages

Double shielding (S/FTP) with four foiled twisted pairs and an additional aluminum foil layer reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) so power and data can be delivered over the same cable. Shielded RJ-45 connectors further minimize signal loss and help maintain consistent performance across long sessions and data-intensive applications.

Suitable for

• High-speed home and office networks
• Online gaming consoles (PS5, PS4, PS3, Xbox Series/One/360, Nintendo Switch)
• HD/4K video streaming and media servers
• Network switches, routers, modems and NAS devices
• Environments requiring PoE-powered devices (IP cameras, access points)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the UNITEK Cat8 cable to your router, switch or modem and the other end to a computer, console or network device. Ensure both connected devices support the intended link speed and PoE requirements if powering devices over Ethernet. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strong electromagnetic sources for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat8 cable for short to medium runs (typical Ethernet topologies) where high throughput and low latency are required. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
