CAT8 Cables
CAT8 cable is a shielded, four-twisted-pair copper data cable defined up to 2000 MHz bandwidth, developed to carry 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet on links up to 30 meters. It is used in data centers for short copper connections between a server and a switch in the same cabinet or at the end of the row. In this category, Reçber SL2000 series S/FTP Category 8.2 cables in a 4x2x22 AWG construction are sold by the meter in LSZH-sheathed types with Cca and B2ca reaction-to-fire classes. Category 8.2 is defined in the ISO/IEC 11801 standard for the Class II channel and is backward compatible with CAT7A cabling; Category 8.1, which is compatible with the RJ45 interface, is for the Class I channel. Choose the cable class according to the class of the channel to be installed and the connector system, and the reaction-to-fire class according to the project specification; plan the link length within the 30-meter channel limit. The products in this category are installation cables sold by the meter with unterminated ends and should not be confused with ready-made CAT8 patch cables with RJ45 ends.

How to choose CAT8 Cables
CAT8 cable is a shielded, four-twisted-pair copper data cable defined up to 2000 MHz bandwidth, developed to carry 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet on links up to 30 meters. It is used in data centers for short copper connections between a server and a switch in the same cabinet or at the end of the row.
- Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
- Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
- Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
