company news about [Popular Science] Everything you want to know about Category 8 network cables is here!

With the development of science and technology and the change of public thinking, more and more young people have higher and higher requirements for the quality of life. It is no exaggeration to say that the speed of the Internet directly affects the mood of modern young people. Data shows that more and more young people want faster Internet speeds and no lag.

Today, let’s take a closer look at the new generation of network jumpers - Cat8/Category 8 network cables.

Category 8 network cable is the latest generation of network cable. Like Category 7 network cable, it is double-shielded (SFTP). It has two wire pairs, an ultra-high bandwidth of 2000MH2, a transmission rate of up to 40Gb/s, and a transmission distance of up to 3m.

In the 1SO/IEC-11801 standard, Cat8 network cables are divided into Class I and Class II according to the channel level. The shielding types of Cat8 network cables in Class I are U/FTP and F/UTP, which are backward compatible with Cat5e，Cat6 and Cat6a RJ45 connector; Class II Cat8 eight network cable shielding type is F/FTP or S/FTP, which is backward compatible with TERA or GG45 connector interface.

What is the difference between Category 5e network cables, Category 6 network cables, Category 6a network cables and Category 7 network cables that are more common in today’s life? The following picture can be used for reference:

As can be seen from the figure, Category 8 network cables, like Category 7 network cables, are double-shielded and can be used in high-speed broadband environments.

The difference between Category 8 cables and other types of network cables is mainly reflected in the transmission rate, frequency bandwidth, transmission distance and application environment.

JINGCHANG's high-quality Category 8 network cable uses physical foaming technology for core insulation and high-quality PVC material for the outer cover. It is wear-resistant and stretch-resistant, has a long service life, and ensures signal stability as before. It is multi-layer shielded and has strong anti-interference ability, making it easy to meet your needs that the transmission requirements of 10Gbps.

Although Category 8 network cables are not widely used at present, with the development of science and technology, network cabling has increasingly higher requirements for transmission performance. At the same time, entering the 5G era, Category 8 network cables will gradually become the mainstream product in the integrated cabling system of data centers.
