Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cat8 and how does it differ from Cat6a?
Cat8 is the latest Ethernet cable standard, supporting up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet at a 2000 MHz frequency over short distances. Cat6a supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 500 MHz. Cat8 offers significantly higher bandwidth and frequency for next-generation network infrastructure.
Can this Cat8 cable be used with existing Cat6a or Cat7 infrastructure?
Yes, this Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, and older Ethernet standards. When connected to a lower-category device or cable, it will operate at the highest speed supported by the slowest component in the link.
What types of devices can this cable power with 100W PoE++?
This cable can power a wide range of high-demand Power over Ethernet devices, including Wi-Fi 6E access points, advanced pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, LED lighting systems, thin clients, and video conferencing endpoints that require up to 100 watts.
Is this Cat8 cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial applications?
No, this cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which is designed for indoor use in commercial and data center environments where fire safety is critical. It is not rated for outdoor exposure or direct burial applications.
