Nippon Labs Cat8 RJ45 10FT Shielded S/FTP Ethernet Patch Cable, 24AWG, 40Gbps (Black, model 60CAT8-10-24BK)

About this product

This Nippon Labs Cat8 patch cable is a 10-foot, black, shielded S/FTP ethernet cable for wired gaming, streaming and home or small-office networks. Newegg lists it as a 24AWG cable with an RJ45 connector on both ends, rated for 2GHz (2000MHz) operation and suitable for emerging 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links. It is fully backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 cabling and equipment, so it can replace an older cable on a router, switch, console or PC without any other changes. A shielded construction with foil-shielded pairs and a braid shield helps protect the signal in busy electrical environments.

Who it's for: gamers and home-network users of any age who want a durable wired connection. Real-world speed is limited by your router, internet plan and devices, not the cable alone. Compatibility: any RJ45 Ethernet port. Other lengths (7, 15, 25, 35 ft) and gray versions are available from the same seller on Newegg.
