Network Cable Vention IKCBK Flat Patch Cable Cat8 8m Black

The Vention Flat Patch Cable Cat8 8m Black is a high-performance network cable engineered for demanding data environments. With Cat8 specification and a flat profile, this 8-metre cable delivers up to 40 Gbps data transfer speed and supports bandwidths up to 2000 MHz. Its low-profile design helps with routing under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind equipment while maintaining robust signal integrity for home networks, workstations, and small server setups.

Advantages

The flat construction reduces cable bulk and simplifies installation in tight spaces while preserving shielding and signal quality required for Cat8 performance. High-quality conductors and connectors ensure consistent 40 Gbps throughput and minimal attenuation across the full 8 m length. The cable's durable outer jacket resists wear from repeated handling and placement in high-traffic areas, and the black finish provides a discreet appearance that blends with most interiors.

Suitable for

• High-speed home networking for 4K/8K streaming and online gaming
• Office workstations and VoIP environments requiring stable high-bandwidth links
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices, and media servers within short runs
• Cable routing under carpets or along walls where a low-profile cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8
• Length: 8 metres
• Maximum data rate: up to 40 Gbps
• Bandwidth: up to 2000 MHz
• Design: flat profile for low-profile routing
• Colour: black
• Connector type: RJ45-compatible connectors

How to use

Connect one end of the flat patch cable to the RJ45 port of your network device and the other end to a compatible port on a switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends. Route the cable along skirting boards, under carpets, or behind furniture as required; the flat design allows it to lie closer to surfaces and reduces visibility while maintaining signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for runs up to 8 metres and avoid coiling or tightly folding the flat cable. Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as high-power motors or unshielded power lines. When installing in high-traffic areas under carpets, check periodically for wear and replace if the outer jacket shows damage.
