Cat8 Toolless Shielded RJ45 Plug for solid/stranded cable, 22-26 AWG conductors, 6.5-8.5mm OD

Our Cat8 RJ45 connectors are designed for use with Cat8 Cable specifically. Featuring gold plated RJ45 contacts, a wire alignment insert that provides a proper termination without tools, and a fully shielded housing to prevent corrosion and protect from EMI (Electromagnetic interference). Stripping the outer jacket with a stripping tool is recommended.

Cat8 cabling was designed primarily for high-speed data centers where switches, servers, and other network hardware are located in close proximity. This newest copper communications cable offers greater flexibility both literally and in distances when compared to QSFP+ and Twinax DAC assemblies which typically cost significantly more and are often much more limited in scope. It has the reach to cover Top-of-Rack and End-of-Row or Middle-of-Row network topologies while delivering 10, 25, and 40 Gigabit data rates over BASE-T technology with RJ45 ends making it a drop-in replacement for Cat6a where rates beyond 10Gb will be needed today or in the future.
