Cablexpert PP8-LSZHCU-BK-5M Patch Cord is a professional shielded network cable engineered to meet the highest modern Category 8 (Cat 8) standard, designed for uncompromising data transmission over extended distances. With a generous length of 5 meters (approx. 16.4 feet), this patch cord allows you to easily bridge distant network equipment while maintaining colossal speeds and absolute signal immunity to external noise.
This cable is ideal for next-generation enterprise and infrastructure solutions, supporting an immense bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps (40GBASE-T) at a record-breaking operating frequency of up to 2000 MHz. Full S/STP double shielding reliably guards the line against interference, while a 100% pure copper conductor combined with a fire-retardant LSZH jacket guarantees maximum safety and long-term network durability.
Key Features and Benefits of the Cablexpert Cat 8 5m Network Cable
- Flagship 40 Gbps Speed with Zero Packet Loss: The Cat 8 standard provides data transfer speeds up to 4 times faster than Cat 6A. This completely eradicates network lag (Ping) during packet delivery and ensures instantaneous device response over a 5-meter span.
- Benchmark Double S/STP Shielding: The cable's architecture includes an individual aluminum foil shield around each twisted pair (PiMF) and a rugged overall outer copper braided shield (16 x 5/0.12 mm). This configuration completely blocks near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and protects against heavy electromagnetic radiation (EMI).
- 100% Pure Bare Copper Conductor (CU): The internal cores feature an AWG 27 gauge (7x 0.135 mm strand structure) made strictly of first-class oxygen-free copper. Unlike budget copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives, true copper will not oxidize, resists snapping during installation, and minimizes signal attenuation even over a 500 cm run.
- Fire Safety and Eco-Friendly Rating (LSZH): The outer insulation is manufactured from a Low Smoke Zero Halogen compound. In the event of a fire or extreme heat, the cable emits no dense black smoke and zero deadly toxic halogen gases—complying with strict European safety regulations for residential and commercial environments.
- Robust Molded Connectors with Latch Protection: Injection-molded RJ45 connectors protect internal wires from fractures at points of frequent bending. The contacts feature premium 50u" gold plating for flawless conductivity, while a special "snagless" bumper prevents the plastic clip from snapping off when pulling the cable through conduits, walls, or trays.
Applications for a 5-Meter Patch Cable
A 500 cm length opens up wide possibilities for structural layout and routing hardware located across different areas of a room:
- Connecting remote workstations, network printers, and office peripherals to the main switch in wide Open-Space offices;
- Linking high-performance gaming rigs, mining setups, and next-gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X) to a router placed across the room or down the hallway for gaming with zero input lag;
- Routing equipment inside large server enclosures where cables must trace through management arms from the lowest rack units to the top, or bridging devices in adjacent racks;
- Connecting high-speed Network Attached Storage (NAS) units and rendering servers to core switches operating on 10G / 25G / 40G lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does Category 8 speed degrade over a distance like 5 meters?
A: No, the Cat 8 standard specification is fully engineered to sustain a maximum speed of 40 Gbps up to a distance of 30 meters. Thanks to the use of high-gauge 100% pure copper conductors and professional S/STP shielding, signal attenuation over a 5-meter length is non-existent.
Q: Can I lay this cable behind walls or under baseboards next to standard 220V power lines?
A: Yes, thanks to the premium double S/STP shielding (individual foil around pairs + an outer braid shield), the cable is securely isolated against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference emitted by electrical power cables. Furthermore, the LSZH compound provides an elevated level of fire safety for concealed installations.
