PNI CAT8 Flat Shielded S/STP Patch Cable 15.0 m — 40 Gbps, 2000 MHz

PNI CAT8 Flat Shielded S/STP Patch Cable 15.0 m is a high-performance Ethernet cable engineered for demanding network environments. This flat-profile cable supports data rates up to 40 Gbps and a frequency range up to 2000 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet links in data centers, server rooms and office installations where space is limited. The cable employs a combination of foil and braided shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over longer runs, while standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with existing networking equipment.

Advantages

The flat shielded design allows easy routing under carpets, along skirting boards and through narrow conduits without compromising shielding performance. S/STP construction (foil plus braid) reduces crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable 40 Gbps transmission where network infrastructure and devices also support these speeds. The 15.0 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across medium to large rooms without requiring additional patching or intermediate switches.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office networks requiring long, low-profile cable runs
• Environments with potential EMI where shielded cabling is needed
• Patch panels, switches and routers with RJ45 ports supporting up to 40 Gbps

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT8
• Shielding: S/STP (foil + braided shield)
• Length: 15.0 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 40 Gbps
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Profile: flat, slim design for low-profile routing

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices, ensuring a snug fit into switches, routers or network interface cards. Route the flat cable along the desired path—under flooring trims, behind furniture or through cable management channels—to minimize strain and avoid tight bending radii. Ensure both ends are properly seated and secured; verify link status on connected devices and test throughput if required to confirm 40 Gbps capability in supported setups.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT8 shielded cable in conjunction with compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels or equipment to preserve the effectiveness of the S/STP shielding. Avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference risk. When deploying over extended runs or in mixed-cable installations, validate end-to-end performance with appropriate network testing tools.
