CAT8 Network Cables
When is CAT8 worth it?
CAT8 is made for short, very fast links inside a server room or data cabinet, such as a switch to a server or a storage array. For desks, home networks and long runs back to a patch panel, CAT6A already carries 10 Gigabit up to 100m.
Distance
CAT8 reaches its full 25 and 40 Gigabit speeds over links of up to 30m in total, including any patch leads at each end.
Shielding and earthing
Every lead here is S/FTP, with foil around each pair and a braid around the whole cable. To get the most from the screening, plug it into shielded ports and patch panels that are earthed.
