Cat8 Shielded 26AWG Patch Cable
Cat8 shielded patch cables in 26 AWG, rated 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz. Cat8 is a data center specification with a short channel by design — roughly 30 m — intended for switch-to-switch and top-of-rack to server links, not horizontal cabling.
The 26 AWG conductor is the sturdier of the two gauges we stock and the better pick where the cable will be handled or re-patched. Choose 30 AWG instead when airflow and cable fill matter more than durability.
