High-speed Cat 8 LAN cable for home and office
This 20-meter long, blue, shielded S/FTP LAN cable is specifically designed for the demands of high bandwidth, 40G Ethernet networks. It is an ideal choice for users who want a stable, low-latency, and reliable wired connection for gaming, 4K/8K streaming, servers, or professional office work.
Cat 8.1 standard – up to 40 Gbps data transmission
The Cat 8.1 category network cable represents one of the latest Ethernet standards. It is designed for data transmission speeds of up to 40 Gbps and high frequencies, which is significantly faster than the performance of traditional Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cables. This makes it perfectly suitable for high-traffic network environments, such as:
- data centers and server rooms
- connecting NAS and network storage
- wired connections for gaming PCs and consoles
- serving 4K/8K IPTV and media players
- professional office, graphic, and video work environments
Shielded S/FTP construction for maximum interference protection
The S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) construction means that each pair of wires is individually foil shielded, complemented by a common braided shield. This combination effectively reduces:
- electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- radio frequency interference (RFI)
- crosstalk (interference between pairs)
The result is a stable, clear signal, which is particularly important for high-speed, 40G data transmission, as well as in environments where many electrical devices operate close to each other.
Twisted copper pairs for a durable and reliable connection
The twisted copper pairs inside the cable provide excellent conductivity and long lifespan. The advantages of quality copper conductors include:
- lower signal loss over long distances
- reliable gigabit and 40G Ethernet connection
- better compatibility with network devices
- stable ping and low latency for online gaming
20-meter length – flexible cabling for longer distances
The 20 m length allows you to run the network cable through multiple rooms or an entire office. It is an ideal solution if:
- there is a large distance between the router and the computer or TV
- the server, NAS, or switch is located in a separate room
- you want to set up the network aesthetically along walls or in cable channels
Thanks to the long yet high-speed certified cable, you don't have to compromise on comfort and performance.
Gold-plated connectors and compatibility
The network cable is compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, so it can be used without issues with:
- routers, modems, switches
- desktop computers and laptops
- gaming consoles (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox)
- smart TVs, media players, IPTV
- printers, IP cameras, and other network devices
The gold-plated contacts provide better conductivity and corrosion resistance, which is especially important for establishing a long-term, reliable Ethernet connection.
Key features summarized
- Cat 8.1 standard – up to 40 Gbps data transmission speed
- S/FTP shielding – individually shielded pairs and common braided shielding
- twisted copper pairs for stable and fast signal transmission
- 20-meter length for flexible network setup
- blue jacket for easy identification
- compatible with all RJ45 Ethernet connectors
- ideal for 4K/8K streaming, online gaming, servers, and office networks
When to choose a Cat 8 cable?
Using a Cat 8 LAN cable is recommended in the following cases:
- If you want to future-proof your network infrastructure for high-speed 25G or 40G Ethernet needs.
- If you transfer many large files between servers, workstations, or NAS.
- If low latency is critical, such as for online gaming, video conferencing, or professional streaming.
- If you operate the network in an environment filled with interference (many cables, electrical devices) where shielding is crucial.
Stable wired connection instead of Wi-Fi
Although modern Wi-Fi networks are getting faster, wired Ethernet connections are still the most stable solution. This cable:
- is not sensitive to walls and distance like Wi-Fi signals
- provides constant speed and ping
- has no radio interference and signal degradation
If a reliable, uninterrupted internet connection is important, a quality, shielded Cat 8 cable may be a better choice in the long run than solely wireless solutions.
Ideal choice for professional and home users
This high-performance, 20-meter, shielded LAN cable meets the expectations of professional system administrators, IT specialists, and demanding home users alike. Its robust construction, modern Cat 8.1 standard, and excellent shielding ensure fast, stable, and secure network connections for any Ethernet-based device for years to come.
