Overview


Category 8.1 Ethernet cable, commonly referred to as Cat8, is a cable standard for 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable standard provides performance of up to 2000MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet), 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet), 25GBASE-T (25 Gigabit Ethernet) & 40GBASE-T (40 Gigabit Ethernet). It is backwards compatible with previous standards such as Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5.




Reasons to buy

  • Flush Moulded Strain Relief: The flush moulded design allows the patch cables to be installed side by side in high-density network switches. The strain relief allows the cables to move without damaging the cable or breaking away from the connector while it is plugged in a device
  • IEC 60332-1-2, RoHS Compliant and 3P Verified
  • LSZH: low Smoke Zero Halogen cable reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted during a fire
  • S/FTP (or S/STP): Screened and Foil (Shielded) Twisted Pair. Each individual pair is screened by foil and features an overall outer sheath. This shielding protects the cable from EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference)
  • Snagless Connectors: The connectors feature a bubble which protects the locking clip on the RJ45 from damage or being snapped off during transport or installation
  • Supports 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet supports 25/40GE
  • This product has been tested and found to comply with the applicable electrical transmission characteristics specified in: ISO/IEC 11801 ED.2 and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
