Cat.8 S/FTP Patch Cord
Ultra-High-Speed Performance: Supports transmission speeds of up to 40Gbps with a bandwidth of up to 2000MHz, ideal for high-speed data centers and performance-critical networks.
Two Specification Options: Available in both Cat.8.1 and Cat.8.2 versions to meet different application needs.
Excellent Interference Shielding: Features an S/FTP structure that effectively resists external interference and reduces crosstalk, ensuring clear and stable signal transmission.
High Conductivity Materials: Made with high-purity oxygen-free copper core for superior conductivity and reduced signal loss.
Corrosion-Resistant Contacts: Gold-plated contacts offer strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion, enhancing reliability and durability.
Durable Construction: The metal housing is resistant to deformation, making it suitable for demanding and complex environments.
The Cat.8 S/FTP Patch Cord complies with the highest data cable requirements, allowing for data transmission of up to 2000MHz.
Compared with other patch cords, it offers faster transmission speeds with a bandwidth of up to 40G/2000MHz. It has passed through the fluke test, in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards.
It comprises 99.99% pure copper core wire and an S/FTP double shielding. Each twisted pair is surrounded by aluminum foil, and there is an overall braided shield. Enhancing its resistance to interference and crosstalk while ensuring perfect conductivity.
Its metallic casing retains its shape and durability and adds a touch of elegance. In addition to the metal boot, there is also a regular boot. With traditional shielded RJ45, terminated with 26AWG cable. With field connector, with 24AWG bigger cable.
Featuring a stylish design and high interference resistance, it guarantees uninterrupted data transmission and low latency. When the patch cord is made of wear-resistant material (PUR), it can be used as a drag chain cable.
Our Cat8 Patch cord is easy to install and doesn't require crimping. It is suitable for data centers, server rooms, and devices with high transmission rate requirements. It is also suitable for PoE applications. The gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance in various environments, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Cable Gauge
Horizontal and backbone cable will consist of four balanced twisted pairs with conductors that can range from 22 AWG to 24 AWG. Cord cable consists of four balanced twisted pairs with conductors that range from 22 AWG to 26AWG.
Application
The Category 8 cabling system was designed primarily to support the IEEE 802 3bq 25/40GBase-T standard. It has two types: Cat.8.1 and Cat.8.2.
The Cat.8.1 has the frequency range of 1300MHz and supports the application of 25G Base-T. From the connector, it will use the same dimension of the traditional RJ45 and compatible with female connector and related equipments.
Cat.8.2 may use the other design which similar GG45 from Nexans or Tera from Simon and transmit with 2000MHz bandwidth, supporting the application of 40G Base-T.
To achieve so nigh frequency transmission, it will be a must to reduce the Insertion loss, Next and Return loss will be a must and both of the connector designs will expect to have the compensation devices like one PCB board to make the performance very good.
No UTP cable solution used
Although there is no restriction on the use of unshielded twisted-pair cable in the standard, performance has not been achieved with unshielded twisted pair, Category 8 is a shielded solution with no specifications for bundled or hybrid cables.
The other major performance factor that needed to be considered was alien crosstalk. At high frequencies especially, the alien crosstalk in unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) systems was found to be too high to support the 40GBase-T data transmission protocol.
In order to achieve adequate alien-crosstalk performance, a shielded cabling system had to be specified. This could take the form of simply an overall shield over the four pairs of each cable (F/UTP), or individually shielded pairs with the option of an overall additional shield (F/FTP or S/FTP).
For practical purposes, expect that the majority of Category 8 cables will have individually shielded pairs, This raised some issues related to cable balance requirements and also potentially with cable plenum fire-rating qualifications in the United States, as the majority of S/FTP cables are sold in the international market, where low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH or LSOH) are the governing safety requirements.
