Cat8 Indoor Network Patch Cord

　　The Cat8 indoor network patch cord is engineered specifically for indoor use, leveraging Cat8’s ultra-high-speed capabilities while optimizing design and materials for the unique conditions of indoor environments—such as data centers, enterprise server rooms, office buildings, or high-end residential spaces. Unlike outdoor-rated cables (which require weatherproofing and UV resistance), this indoor-focused cord prioritizes compactness, flexibility, and compatibility with indoor cabling infrastructure, making it ideal for dense, controlled settings where speed and reliability are critical.

　　At its core, the Cat8 indoor cord delivers Cat8’s signature performance: up to 40 Gbps speeds at 2000 MHz bandwidth over 40 meters, and 100 Gbps over 30 meters—enough to support next-gen applications like AI computing, real-time 8K video streaming, and large-scale data center interconnects. It uses advanced S/FTP or F/FTP shielding to eliminate EMI/RFI, a must in indoor environments where hundreds of cables run parallel in server racks or ceiling ducts, and nearby power sources generate interference. The 24AWG copper conductors balance flexibility and conductivity, ensuring easy routing through indoor cable management systems (e.g., trays, conduits) without signal loss.

　　The indoor-focused design also includes a lightweight, flame-retardant jacket (typically LSZH or low-smoke PVC) that meets strict indoor fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94 V-0). This jacket resists heat and smoke spread in case of fire, critical for enclosed spaces like server rooms or office buildings. Unlike outdoor cables, it lacks heavy weatherproofing layers, keeping the cord thin and easy to handle—essential for dense cabling setups where space is limited.

　　Compliant with IEEE 802.3bs and ISO/IEC 11801 Class I standards, the Cat8 indoor patch cord works seamlessly with indoor networking hardware, including high-speed switches, servers, and storage area networks (SANs). It is available in lengths from 0.5 meters (for rack-mounted device connections) to 30 meters (for longer indoor runs), and its color-coded jackets (e.g., blue for data, red for critical systems) simplify cable identification. For organizations investing in indoor ultra-high-speed networks, this cord offers optimized performance, safety, and compatibility—avoiding the unnecessary bulk of outdoor cables while delivering Cat8’s full speed potential.
