- Rapink Patch Cables Cat8 1ft 24 Pack Slim, Cat8 Ethernet Patch Cable 40G Support, Snagless Cat 8 Patch Cable for Patch Panel to Switch, Flexiable Cat 8 Ethernet Cable Datacenter with Gold Plated

Grabbed these cables for my little DIY network rack setup. They look sharp—thin, black, and tidy without taking up extra space or cluttering things up. They're plenty flexible for the bends in my small rack, feel solid, and the connectors seem well-made with no issues snapping in. Haven't noticed any signal problems at 2.5G speeds so far. For short runs in a home lab or rack, these do the job nicely and keep everything looking clean. Good value for the pack.

Not one issue, works great! Great quality, tight connections. Excellent value!!

High quality, thick but pliable.

So far these patch cables seem great. Purchased these to replace some older self assembled patch cables. They look and feel high quality and all have tested functional. Also nice to have a consistent length rather than my poor job "eyeballing" lengths of my own. One improvement that could be made is to ensure the RJ45 connectors are aligned on each end. Some were 180 degrees opposed which is perfect while others were 45-90 degrees off requiring me to twist the cable a bit to line up with the patch panel ports. Not a huge deal but worth noting, especially for shorter length cables.

I will be adding more of these soon when I restack this panel. Improvement in progress. I wanted to add detail on these wires -- they are CAT8 F/FTP PIMF 25/40GBase-T 2000Mhz slim patch cables... F/FTP: FOILED WITH FOILED TWISTED PAIRS This type of cable features an overall foil shield with individually foil tape shielded twisted pairs. These are similar to F/UTP cables, with the addition of a foil shield around each twisted pair. The cable construction is designed to provide the assembly with greater protection from crosstalk from adjacent pairs and other cables, RFI and EMI. PiMF is an abbreviation of the English 'Pair In Metal Foil' This CAT8 cable will reach 40G on these short runs and certainly can be used in that manner. No you won't be doing this at home in 2025. But they are inexpensive, they look great, they are very flexible, and they will have fewer errors than CAT6A because of their shielding overkill. In comparison, the 22 AWG CAT8 cable runs that I just ran in my house are huge, horrible to route, and are best terminated with a CAT8 field RJ45 connector into a 22AWG keystone jack, then patched with these. 5/5

Look really nice and seem to work with 10gbe and Poe. Time will tell if they last, but I’m happy with them right now.

Great patch cable for the price.

Bought 2 of the 24 packs. Using from 2 patch panels in to their respective ubiquiti switches (perfect size 0.5) No problem handling 10gbe speeds and POE. Great well built cables. Will buy again if network needs more growth.

These are cat6 cables. It says right on the cable. I cut one open and confirmed.
