Cat8 Ethernet Network Data Cable

Syston tinned copper braid data cables are ideal for datacenters and high-speed applications

Image of Syston Cat8 Ethernet Network Data Cable Syston braided and metal-shielded Cat8 Ethernet cables provide excellent protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) due to their shielding, ensuring stable and low-latency connections. A ripcord under the jacket ensures effortless removal during installation. These cables are third-party verified for guaranteed performance, and they are RoHS compliant to be free from hazardous substances. The cables feature legend markings for channels, rooms, and zones, making installations faster and more efficient. Cat8 Ethernet cables offer several key advantages, including ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps and a high bandwidth of 2,000 MHz, making them ideal for datacenters and high-speed applications. Cat8 cables are backward-compatible with previous standards like Cat5, Cat6, and Cat7, and they perform exceptionally well over short distances (up to 30 m). This makes them future-proof for emerging technologies such as 5G and IoT.

Designed with a CMR riser-rated flame-retardant jacket, these cables provide peace of mind in case of fire and they operate within a wide temperature range, allowing them to be installed anywhere in North America. The cables exceed IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standards and are compatible with top-of-rack (ToR), end-of-row (EoR), and middle-of-row (MoR) configurations. These cables comply with the UL 1581 sunlight resistance requirement for outdoor installations; however, they should not be used as a substitute for underground direct burial cables. Syston Ethernet cables support a wide variety of applications including datacenter cabling, CDDI, ATM, token ring, IEEE 802.af (PoE), IEEE 802.3bt (PoE+), and IEEE 802.3bt (POE++). They also support the transmission of digital and analog data, video, voice, and audio.
