Cat8 patch cable is fully backward compatible with all the previous(cat5, cat5e, cat6, cat6a and cat7) RJ45 cabling and equipment. This item uses 100% cooper, built STP inside, let it more stability, low resistance. It has breathtaking speed, transmitting up to 40Gbps, bandwidth up to 2000MHz. And RJ45 connector suitable the most equipment, with high compatibility. What’s the difference between CAT 8 and CAT 7? - CAT 8 faster than CAT 7. CAT 8 transmitting can be up to 40Gbps, also the bandwidth can be up to 2000MHz.which enables higher bandwidth and requires shielding and is regarded as a new option for emerging 25gbase-t and 40gbase-t networks. - CAT 8 stability than CAT 7. It use the latest technology, stronger anti-interference, low resistance. - CAT 8 more durable. Uses the new environmental protection PVC material, better corrosion resistance, not easy to age. - CAT 8 added tearing line inside, protect cable, prevent break, and easy to open the cover. Installation Method: Insert plug to RJ45 connectors, connect network source with device. Note: - Please make sure your devices connect port is RJ45 plug. - Your network speed is determined by many factors which include the cable, your router, switch boxes, other network components, and also service provider. Specifications: - OD: 6.5mm(0.24in) - Color: Black - Condition: 100% Brand new - The four twisted pair sets are shielded by foil, and the patch cable is terminated with two shielded 50 micron gold plated RJ45 connectors.
