Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 8 specifications, this cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz, enabling high-bandwidth applications like 25G and 40G Ethernet over copper. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, offering superior protection against crosstalk and external noise.
The cable uses pure copper conductors for optimal conductivity and signal performance, while the PVC connector material ensures durability and strain relief. This design meets the rigorous demands of modern data centers where reliable high-speed connectivity is critical.
Key Product Advantages
This Cat8 patch cable combines advanced shielding technology with practical design features to deliver reliable performance in high-density network environments. The double-shielded construction ensures minimal signal degradation even in electrically noisy settings, while the snagless boot prevents accidental disconnections during maintenance or cable adjustments.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 40 Gbit/s data transfer rates, making it suitable for backbone connections, server-to-switch links, and high-performance computing applications.
- 2000 MHz frequency
- Low latency
- Backward compatible with Cat6a/Cat7
Enhanced Durability
Gold and nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain reliable electrical connections over repeated mating cycles.
- Strain relief design
- EMI/RF protection
- Environmentally friendly materials
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat8 patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network closets where high-speed, reliable connections are essential. Its 3-foot length makes it perfect for short runs between adjacent rack-mounted devices, while the S/FTP shielding ensures performance in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
Common applications include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers, linking network appliances in security deployments, and providing high-bandwidth connections for storage arrays or virtualization hosts. The green color allows for easy visual identification in complex cable management systems, helping technicians quickly trace connections during troubleshooting or reconfiguration.
Data Center Deployment
Perfect for high-density server racks where space is limited and signal integrity is paramount. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections when working in tight spaces.
Enterprise Networking
Suitable for connecting network switches, routers, firewalls, and other critical infrastructure components that require reliable 40 Gbit/s connectivity.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat8 cable?
This Axiom Cat8 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like 25G and 40G Ethernet. The Category 8 specification enables this performance through enhanced shielding and construction that supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz.
What type of connectors does this network cable have?
The cable features standard RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, making it compatible with most network equipment including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. The connectors have gold and nickel contact plating for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections.
What does S/FTP shielding mean for this cable?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, indicating this cable has both overall foil shielding around all pairs and individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This double-shielded construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Is this Cat8 cable backward compatible with older equipment?
Yes, this Category 8 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, Cat6, and Cat5e equipment. When used with older devices, it will operate at the maximum speed supported by the connected equipment while providing the enhanced shielding benefits of the Cat8 construction.
