Cat8 Shielded 30AWG Patch Cable

Cat8 shielded patch cables in 30 AWG, rated 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz. The thinner gauge is here for one reason: dense short-run rack patching where a bundle of 26 AWG Cat8 would block airflow across the switch face.

Same 40 Gbps rating and same short-channel design as the 26 AWG version, in a noticeably smaller diameter. Use the heavier gauge where cables get handled often.

Questions about Cat8 Shielded 30AWG Patch Cable

26AWG or 30AWG Cat8: which should I choose?

30AWG is thinner for dense racks where airflow and cable fill matter most. 26AWG is the sturdier gauge and the better pick where cables are handled or re-patched. Both are rated 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz.

How far can a Cat8 cable run?

Cat8 is a data center specification with a short channel of about 30 m, built for switch-to-switch and top-of-rack to server links at 25 or 40 Gbps. For horizontal cabling, use Cat6A.

What lengths and pack sizes does the Cat8 Shielded 30AWG Patch Cable come in?

Available lengths: 0.5 Ft, 1 Ft, 2 Ft, 3 Ft, 5 Ft, 7 Ft, 10 Ft. Sold in packs of 1, 10, 50, 100 where stocked (1 = single cable). Every color of the same length and pack is the same price.
