The JBX71769 CAT8 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the pinnacle of network cable technology, designed for professionals who demand maximum performance and reliability. This 7-foot cable delivers exceptional 40GB data transmission speeds, making it ideal for next-generation networking infrastructure. **Superior Shielding Technology** The S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides dual-layer protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Each twisted pair is individually foiled, with an additional overall shield, ensuring pristine signal integrity in demanding environments. **Premium Copper Construction** Featuring >99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors with 24AWG gauge, this cable minimizes signal loss and maximizes conductivity. The straight-through RJ45 connectors ensure proper ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 Category 8 compliance for seamless integration into existing networks. **Durable, Professional Design** The snagless connector design prevents accidental disconnections and damage to the connector latch. The riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacketing provides flame resistance and durability, while the 6.5mm outer diameter allows easy routing through tight spaces. **Versatile Applications** Ideal for data centers, server rooms, high-speed trading floors, 4K video production facilities, and enterprise networking. The -20 to +75°C operating temperature range accommodates diverse installation environments. **Quality Assurance** RoHS and ELV compliant, manufactured to EU directive 2002/95/EC standards. Each cable includes a lifetime limited warranty and qualifies for free standard shipping on orders over $99. Available in custom lengths to suit specific networking requirements. **Why Choose CAT8?** While CAT6A cables typically handle 10GB speeds, CAT8 delivers 40GB performance at shorter distances, providing a cost-effective upgrade path for future-proofing your network infrastructure without complete rewiring.
