TMT Global Cat8 S/FTP 8X3SMSLXXX Series Data Patch Cords
The TMT GLOBAL Cat8 S/FTP Patch Cord (Class I / Cat8.1) is engineered for data centre and high-performance computing environments requiring 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet over short channel lengths. Manufactured by TMT Global Technology Ltd, its individually shielded pairs and overall braided shield deliver stable, very high-frequency performance for data centre installers and integrators specifying Cat8 links between switches, servers, and top-of-rack infrastructure.
Note: Cat8 channels (patch cords plus permanent link combined) are limited to 30m total per ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 and ISO/IEC 11801, unlike the 100m channels supported by Cat5e through Cat6A. Built with a halogen-free LSZH jacket and certified to CE, Euroclass Cca-s1b,d2,a2 (EN 13501-6 / BS EN 13501-6), and IEC/EN 60332-1-2 fire safety standards, it is suited to projects with strict fire and life-safety compliance requirements.
