Description
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), and 40GBASE-T (40 Gigabit Ethernet). It is backwards compatible with previous standards such as Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5.
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen):
LSZH cable reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted during a fire.
Supports 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet:
This cable fully supports 25/40GE.
S/FTP (Screened and Foil 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.
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 into a device.
Certifications:
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. It also complies with IEC 60332-1-2, is RoHS compliant, and has been 3P verified.
