Cat8 flat RJ45 cable is a type of Ethernet cable that is designed to provide high-speed network connections with minimal interference. It is the latest version of the Ethernet cable and offers the highest performance of any Ethernet cable currently available on the market.
The flat design of Cat8 cables makes them ideal for use in tight spaces, such as under carpets or behind baseboards. This is because they are less bulky than traditional round Ethernet cables, which can be difficult to install in these types of spaces.
Cat8 cables also offer higher bandwidth capacity than other Ethernet cables. They are capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps over distances of up to 30 meters, making them ideal for use in high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers.
One of the key features of Cat8 cables is their use of shielded twisted pair (STP) wiring. STP wiring helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which can cause signal degradation and slow down network speeds. This is particularly important in environments where there is a lot of electrical interference, such as in industrial settings.
Another advantage of Cat8 cables is their backward compatibility with older Ethernet standards. This means that they can be used in networks that already have Cat5, Cat6, or Cat7 cables installed. However, to take full advantage of the higher speeds and performance of Cat8, both ends of the connection need to be Cat8-compatible.
In conclusion, Cat8 flat RJ45 cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable that offers the highest bandwidth capacity and the lowest levels of interference. It is a great investment for businesses or individuals who need the highest level of network performance and reliability, particularly in high-bandwidth environments.
Get the most from your network by using the latest in networking cables! Our range of Cat8 flat low profile cables run much faster previous network cables such as Cat 5e Cat6 Cat6a and Cat 7 but are backwardly compatible. With a height of just 2.8mm they re perfect for running under carpets or floor boards.
Perfect for the latest gaming consoles such as Xbox Series X or the PS5 as well as PC gaming or any other connection that requires a fast Ethernet connection.
So what is the difference between Cat 5e Cat 6 Cat 7 and Cat 8 cables?
There are two main factors to look at when comparing network cables. The first is the speed (bandwidth) and the other the frequency (MHz).
The Speed determines how much data (bandwidth) can be sent through the cable. Cat 8 cables have a maximum speed/bandwidth of 25 000 to 40 000 Mbit/s but Cat 7 carries a lower 10000Mbit/s. Cat 6 is 1000Mbits and Cat5e up to 1000Mbits.
The Frequency or MHz indicates how often the signal can pass through the cable. Cat 8 cables have a very high frequency at a huge 2000Mhz. Cat 7 600Mhz. Cat6a 500Mhz. Cat6 250Mhz and cat 5 cables 100Mhz. Overall a Cat 8 cable will allow more bandwidth at a faster rate than the previous networking cables.
Cat5e Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gig) 100mhz
Cat6 Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gig) 250mhz
Cat6a Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gig) 500mhz
Cat7 Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gig) 600mhz
Cat 8 Has a speed to 25000 - 40000 Mbit/s (25-40 Gig) 2000mhz
