Utilize the latest technology for your office network or data center to provide dependable performance where you need it. This Insignia 6 ft. Cat-8 Ultra High-Speed Ethernet Cable provides up to 40 Gbps of data transfer speed and supports up to 2,000MHz of bandwidth usage. The cable is 6 ft. with integrated strain relief, providing flexible placement options.

CAT8 network cable uses gold-plated RJ45 connectors at both ends, which can improve the conductivity of the cable and resist oxidation. Support bandwidth up to 2000MHz & transmitting data at speeds of up to 40Gbps. It is 4x the frequency of Cat 6A cable or Cat7 cable.Cat8 Ethernet cable is designed for gaming devices, Xbox, Network adapters, Hubs, Switches, Routers, DSL/Cable Modems, Patch Panels applications, cloud computing, data centers, and other high performance computer networking application.

This Cat 6 shielded Ethernet patch cable - also sold as a Cat6 LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord - moves Gigabit traffic over a 24 AWG stranded bare copper core tested to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz the Cat 6 standard asks for. Foil shielding wraps all four twisted pairs, so the run stays clean beside power cabling, inside metal racks and near motors or ballasts where unshielded cords pick up noise. Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts wired to T568B, and a snagless molded boot shields the locking tab so it does not snap when the cable is pulled back out of a packed patch panel. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and ready for Cat6a ports. Compatible with Cisco, Netgear, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Linksys, ASUS, Synology and QNAP hardware. Stocked in 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10ft, 14, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 ft - short jumpers through long Ethernet cables between rooms. Measure the path the cable travels, not the straight line. Best for: structured wiring, server rooms and patch panels. Not for: in-wall runs, outdoors, or 10 Gigabit across a full 100 m.
