100% Inspected Cat.8 Patch Cord

GHMT verified CAT8 solid patch cord passed the 30 meters (98 feet) Channel testing. We insist that each patch cord produced by EXW is thoroughly inspected with Fluke DSX-8000. Despite the high work volume, we ensure the quality of our patch cords at all costs. The 100% inspected high-quality patch cord is designed to be utilized in enterprise data centers and cloud data centers that require low-latency data transfer and high bandwidth. The cable bandwidth is field tested from 1MHz to 2,000MHz (2GHz). Cat8 cabling is tested under a stricter setting and a higher standard than Category 6A structured copper cabling, which is only tested from 1MHz to 500MHz.

Cat.8 PoE++ Solid Cable and UL Standard Field Term Plugs

CAT8.1 shielded solid Ethernet cable is composed of a CAT8 PoE++ solid cable and two CAT8 FORCE certified field term plugs. The solid cable has 22 gauge (0.64 mm) bare copper wire conductors, which are more resistant to heat and corrosion. The IP20 and shielded RJ45 connectors with UL materials and built-in PCBs provide 25 Gbps high-speed data transmission over 30 meters. The ethernet cable comes with backward compatibility to Cat.6A, Cat.6, and Cat.5e RJ45 interfaces and networks, which is the common and global standard for servers and switches.

Cat.8 PoE++ FORCE Certified RJ45 Patch Cord

Category 8 PoE++ patch cord is FORCE certified ethernet cable, utilizing all 4 pairs of the structured wiring to provide high wattage PoE power to more devices and areas. You can automatically reduce installation costs and time without having to install additional electrical infrastructure. The CAT8 SFTP network cable meets the PoE standard (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8). It enables 90W delivered by a power sourcing equipment (PSE) and 71.3W delivered to a powered device (PD). The high performance patch cord allows you to power network-ready devices such as web cams and smart access control systems over the wires in the Ethernet twisted pair cable.
