Category 8, the standard for next-generation twisted-pair cabling, enables up to four times faster data transfer on the same cabling type and supports 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T short distance applications. Our Cat. 8 cables are halogen-free and flame-retardant (LSOH).

The advantages of Category 8 cabling:
- Category 8 offers four times the bandwidth of Category 6A cabling, specified up to 2 GHz.
- Category 8 cables are shielded, though shielded cabling systems must be grounded, this is also not an issue in most data center, since the connections are closer together.
- Category 8 connectors use the familiar RJ45 interface. The jacks require proper grounding to the cable and to the device they are installed into (patch panel or outlet), therefore they are designed for field termination.
- Category 8 number of connectors is limited to two connectors in the copper channel (excluding connections on end equipment), this is typically adequate in a data center environment and many common enterprise links.
- Maximum reach: 30 meter of channel (maximum 24m link cable + 2x 3m patch cables).
