Network Cable Cat 8 - Fiber Leader Cables for Short Distances
Here on the site you will find our selection of Cat 8 network cables, which are often used as an alternative to fiber leader cables for short distances.
Cat 8 network cables are currently the fastest network cables on the market, and they can be used as an alternative to fiber leader cables when this is needed over shorter distances.
Cat 8 cables are often used in larger installations and with the very high specifications, they are currently often not that relevant for ordinary Danish households, unless you want to future-proof your network.
Cable manufacturers are generally really good at staying ahead of the development regarding specifications of the cables, and with a Cat 8 network cable, your network installation will be future-proofed for many years ahead, as there are currently no networks providing such high speeds that the cable can handle, for ordinary private consumers.
If you have decided to future-proof your network installation with a Cat 8 network cable, but are unsure what to look for to find the right cable for your needs, then read on below, where we have gathered some useful information about the powerful cables.
5 Things You Should Know About Network Cable Cat 8
The category of a network cable is defined based on how many Megahertz (MHz) the cable can handle, which is an indication of how many millions of oscillations the cable can handle per second.
As of writing, a Cat 8 network cable is the cable with the highest category and thus also the highest speed, of all network cables on the market.
But what you should look for when choosing your Cat 8 network cable, we will try to make you a little wiser about below.
#1 - The Length of Cat 8 Network Cable
When choosing your Cat 8 network cable, it is a good idea to consider how long it should be, as the cable is somewhat more expensive than the other network cables in other category classes, there is no reason to buy a longer cable than you need.
But there is also another good reason to buy a cable that is as close to the length you need as possible, and that is that it is always recommended to keep signal cables as short as possible, to minimize any potential signal loss, which can occur due to the resistance in the cable.
Even though you are currently looking for the strongest and fastest network cable on the market, and this has a speed and strength that far exceed what you as a private consumer can get delivered of signal right now, you should still consider minimizing this possibility for signal loss.
Let’s look 5 years into the future, where you might get a signal that means you will utilize the full potential of the Cat 8 network cable, here it will suddenly be significant whether you have a cable long enough that you can experience a signal loss over the length of the cable.
So if you want to future-proof your entire network installation, you should also consider the length of the cable.
Cat 8 network cables are available in several lengths, but since these cables are designed for shorter distances, the maximum length is 25-30 meters, but in addition, the cables are available in lengths of:
- 0.25 m.
- 0.5 m.
- 1 m.
- 2 m.
- 3 m.
- 5 m.
- 7.5 m.
- 10 m.
- 15 m.
- 20 m.
- 25 m.
#2 - Network Cable Cat 8 Transfer Speed
Cat 8 network cables are the fastest network cables on the market at the moment and these cables are specifically designed for networks and data centers, as well as professional installations, where the distance between the server and the switch is short.
Therefore, the cable is not yet widely used for private customers and the price is therefore also somewhat higher than the other categories, such as Cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 7, and Cat 7a.
Network Cable Cat 8 supports a bandwidth of 2000 MHz and speeds of up to 40 Gbps over 30 meters, which corresponds to 5 Gb download per second.
The very high transfer speeds of the cables mean that they are among other things used as fiber leader cables over very short distances, such as in server rooms.
The very high transfer speed in Cat 8 cables means that they are practically always shielded, just as is the case for both Cat 7 and Cat 7a cables.
The shielding is often a metal or foil protection that sits inside the cable, around the conductors, and prevents noise and external interference that can reduce and degrade the signal in the cable.
#3 - Soft or Solid Network Cable Cat 8
When you are looking for your new Cat 8 network cable, you will be met with the option of choosing whether the cable should be soft/stranded or hard/Solid.
These terms indicate whether the cable's conductors are gathered into a thick conductor or if the conductors consist of several thin wires, if the cable has a thick conductor it is called solid, and if there are several thin conductors it is called soft or stranded.
Solid Cat 8 network cables are hard and stiff, so they can better withstand the wear they may be exposed to if, for example, you want the cables laid into a wall.
The advantage of solid cables is thus that they are strong and extremely suitable for use in wall installations, but they can also be used as ordinary network cables, with a terminating RJ45 connector.
Soft Cat 8 network cables are easier to get around corners, inside cable hiders etc. because they are soft and thus more flexible, but the soft cable is not suitable for embedding or wall installations.
Therefore, a soft cable is best suited for use with RJ45 connectors at the ends.
#4 - Color of Network Cable Cat 8
The color of your new network cable Cat 8 can actually end up being important, and the cables are available in several colors, which can make it easy for you to color-code your installation.
Imagine that you need to replace your network cable at some point in the future, but you have laid the cable into the wall along with 7 other cables, and all the cables are black.
Now you only need to replace your network cable and want to avoid having to pull all the cables out of the wall, but you cannot see which cable is the network cable and which is the power cable.
If you choose your new network cable Cat 8 in a different color than other cables, you can easily and quickly find the right cable when and if the cable needs to be replaced.
Therefore, you can beneficially consider the color of your new network cable.
#5 - Network Cable Cat 8.1 or Cat 8.2?
Network Cable Cat 8 is further divided into a class 1 and a class 2, which means that you may encounter network cables where the category is indicated as, for example, Cat 8.1 or Cat 8.2.
Cat 8.1 network cables are compatible with Cat 6a with RJ45 connectors and Cat 8.2 is compatible with Cat 7a with Tera or GG45.
Cat 8.2 cables thus have an entirely new and different connector and are still primarily used in professional data center server rooms with high demands, and as of writing, cannot normally be obtained by ordinary consumers.
Cat 8.1 will often be the designation you encounter, and you can therefore safely use a Cat 8 network cable for your private installation when you want to future-proof it.
