Cat8 Category 8 Double-Shielded 10-Gigabit Network Cable, 23AWG, 2000MHz, S/FTP PVC CMR

Category 8 double-shielded network cable (Cat8 S/FTP) adopts per-pair independent shielding plus overall shielding, offering extremely strong anti-interference performance. Transmission frequency up to 2000MHz, 25-40Gbps within 50m, conductor diameter approx. 0.64mm, supports PoE++ power supply. Application range focuses on short-distance, high-speed scenarios: Interconnection between switches and servers in IDC data center racks, meeting high-density cabling requirements. Enterprise core networks and high-performance computing clusters, ensuring low-latency transmission. Research institutions, 8K audio/video production studios and other high-volume data exchange scenarios.
Product Features
  • Top speed and bandwidth: supports 25-40Gbps transmission rates with operating frequency up to 2000MHz, far outperforming previous generations.
  • Extremely strong anti-interference: S/FTP double-shielding design with per-pair plus overall shielding effectively resists electromagnetic interference.
  • Short transmission distance: high-speed transmission is limited to within 30m, designed specifically for short-distance scenarios.
  • Functional compatibility: supports PoE++ power supply and is backward compatible with older standard cables such as Cat6A.
  • Excellent physical performance: mostly solid bare copper conductors, flame-retardant and eco-friendly outer jacket, rugged construction.
  • Compatible with all connecting hardware currently conforming to EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801.
