GearIT Cat8 Patch Cord Outdoor Ethernet Cable - 100ft, SFTP 26AWG Pure Copper, 40Gbps/2000MHz, Direct Burial LLDPE UV Jacket, Waterproof, POE

Next-generation Cat8 performance: GearIT Cat8 Ethernet cable supports data rates from 1Gbps up to 40Gbps and operates across 2GHz (2000MHz) for ultra-high-speed networking. Built for harsh environments, the cable features an LLDPE UV jacket for outdoor use and is rated for direct burial / in-ground installation with waterproof protection. It also includes a flexible PVC option and an in-wall CM-rated PVC jacket for indoor runs where required. Cable construction and shielding: Manufactured in a Tier 1 factory, this SFTP (Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair) Cat8 cable uses 26AWG 4-pair stranded pure copper conductors, with each pair foil-shielded plus an overall 4-pair braid shield to minimize crosstalk and external interference (EMI/RFI). Connectors and durability: Equipped with RJ45 plugs that have 50-micron gold-plated contacts and a molded strain-relief snagless boot for reliable mating and long-term use. Compatibility and applications: Backward compatible with Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A/Cat7, this cable works with routers, modems, switches, PCs, laptops, printers, scanners, Smart TVs and gaming consoles (PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox 360). Ideal for online gaming, HD video streaming, PoE devices, server/cloud applications, and video surveillance where high bandwidth and low latency are required.
