This Cat8 cable transmits 25/40 Gbps data, voice and audio/video through high-speed 25G/40G equipment, such as network switches, modems, routers, adapters, hubs and patch panels. Not only is its 40 Gbps data transfer speed four times that of Cat6a cable, but this Cat8 cable also supports bandwidth up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) for carrying information and streaming video with no lag.
Manufactured from 22 AWG copper wire, this 1000-foot (305-meter) roll of four-pair solid-core cabling is rated for speeds up to 40 Gbps. Simply pull what you need for your installation off the spool, and keep the remainder rolled away.
The S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) cable's foil shielding blocks disruptive line noise that can disturb your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss. Near-end crosstalk (NEXT) levels are practically eliminated, so you don't have to worry about keeping your cables separated in crowded pathways or spend valuable time on field testing.
This Cat8 Ethernet cable features a blue flame-retardant CMR-rated PVC jacket, which allows easy, fast identification in a crowded rack, patch panel or workstation and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected.
