EXTRALINK CAT.8 U/FTP 20m 40G Flat Cable, Shielded, Patch Cable, Copper, White

High-performance Ethernet patch cable engineered for 40 Gigabit networks. This flat Cat.8 U/FTP cable delivers stable, interference-free transmission up to 2000 MHz over 20 meters, making it ideal for data centers, server rooms, and high-speed LAN backbones.

Advantages

Bare copper conductors ensure superior conductivity and low attenuation. The U/FTP shielding (foiled twisted pairs) minimizes crosstalk and EMI, while the flat design allows discreet installation under carpets or along walls. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and maintain reliable contact. Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified device deployment.

Suitable for

• 40GBASE-T Ethernet connections
• Data centers and server rooms
• High-speed workstation links
• PoE-powered devices (IP cameras, access points)
• Backward-compatible with Cat.7/6a/6/5e networks
