Category 8 network cable is the latest generation double-shielded (SFTP) network jumper. It has two wire pairs, can support a bandwidth of 2000MHz, and a transmission rate of up to 40Gb/s, but its maximum transmission distance is only 30m, so it is generally used for Connection of servers, switches, distribution frames and other equipment in short-distance data centers.
