Sigma™ Cat 8 Ethernet Cable · 40 Gbps • 2 GHz • PoE++ 100 W
The Sigma Cat 8 Ethernet Cable is engineered for professional-grade, next-generation networking. Designed to deliver 40 Gbps data throughput, 2 GHz (2000 MHz) bandwidth, and ultra-low < 1 µs latency, this high-performance cable sets the standard for future-proof enterprise and residential connectivity. It’s built to sustain 40GBASE-T interconnects, ultra-high-definition 8 K video transport, and power-intensive PoE++ 100 W devices—all with uncompromising signal integrity.
Performance Highlights
- Data Rate: 40 Gbps (40GBASE-T compatible)
- Bandwidth: 2000 MHz / 2 GHz transmission channel
- Latency: < 1 µs deterministic link delay
- PoE ++ Support: 100 W / IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 compliant
Engineered for Precision
- Shielding Architecture: F/FTP multi-layer foil with braided drain mesh eliminates EMI, RFI and alien crosstalk (A-XT).
- Signal Integrity: In-line Forward Error Correction (FEC) maintains bit-perfect transmission under electromagnetic stress.
- Construction: Solid 26 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors for maximum conductivity and reduced attenuation over 100 m runs.
- Jacket Options: PVC (CM) for indoor use, LSZH for low-smoke installations, and UV-resistant outdoor jackets for direct exposure.
