Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 8 cable meets the stringent specifications for 2000MHz bandwidth, supporting 40 Gbit/s data transfer rates over distances up to 30 meters. The S/FTP shielding configuration combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, providing superior noise rejection compared to unshielded or minimally shielded alternatives.
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold and nickel contact plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The copper conductors ensure optimal signal transmission, while the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) connector material offers durability and flexibility.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers future-proof performance with Category 8 certification, ensuring compatibility with high-speed network standards and reducing the need for frequent upgrades. The double-shielded construction minimizes crosstalk and external interference, maintaining signal clarity in dense cabling environments.
Enhanced Durability
The strain relief feature and snagless boot protect connectors from physical damage and accidental dislodging, extending the cable's operational lifespan in active network setups.
- Strain relief design
- Snagless boot prevents catch points
- Robust PVC connector housing
Environmental Considerations
Manufactured with environmentally friendly materials and processes, this cable supports sustainable IT practices without compromising performance or reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Category 8 cable?
This Axiom Category 8 cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as 40GBASE-T Ethernet. It is designed to handle bandwidth-intensive tasks in data centers, enterprise networks, and other environments requiring reliable, high-throughput connectivity.
How does the S/FTP shielding benefit network performance?
The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides dual-layer protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This configuration minimizes signal degradation and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission in electrically noisy environments like server rooms or industrial settings, which is critical for maintaining network integrity and performance.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot on this patch cable?
The snagless boot is designed to prevent the cable from accidentally disconnecting when routed through tight spaces or cable management systems. It reduces strain on the RJ-45 connectors and protects the latch mechanism, enhancing durability and reliability in active network deployments where cables may be frequently moved or adjusted.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Category 8 cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The copper conductors and robust shielding support both data transmission and power delivery, making it suitable for connecting PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without compromising performance or safety.
