ZORA Cat8 S/FTP 4P LSZH Cable

Product Overview

The ZORA Cat8 S/FTP 4P LSZH Cable is the ultimate solution for high-speed data transmission in modern data centers and enterprise networks. Designed to support frequencies up to 2000 MHz and transmission speeds of up to 40Gbps, this cable guarantees zero latency and reliable performance in mission-critical applications.

With S/FTP shielding (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair), each pair is individually shielded with foil and the overall cable is protected by an additional braid screen, ensuring maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket makes it ideal for environments where fire safety and low toxicity are required.

Q1: What is Cat8 cable used for?

A: Cat8 cable is primarily used for high-speed data transmission in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. It supports up to 40Gbps Ethernet and is ideal for short-distance connections between network switches, routers, and servers.

Q2: What is the maximum transmission distance of Cat8 cable?

A: The ZORA Cat8 S/FTP 4P LSZH cable supports up to 40Gbps transmission within 30 meters and 25Gbps up to 50 meters, ensuring reliable performance in high-density environments.

Q3: What does S/FTP mean?

A: S/FTP stands for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair.
Each pair of wires is individually foil-shielded (F/), and the entire cable has an overall braid shield (S/).
This design provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it suitable for environments with high signal interference.

Q4: What are the advantages of LSZH jacket material?

A: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket emits very low smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire.
It ensures greater safety in enclosed or public areas such as data centers, hospitals, and airports.

Q5: Can Cat8 cables be used with Cat6 or Cat7 connectors?

A: Yes. Cat8 cables use standard RJ45 connectors, making them backward compatible with Cat6A, Cat6, and Cat5e systems.
However, for optimal performance, it’s recommended to use Cat8-rated connectors and patch panels.

Q6: What is the difference between Cat8 and Cat6A cables?

A: The main differences are:

• Bandwidth: Cat8 supports up to 2000 MHz vs. Cat6A’s 500 MHz.

• Speed: Cat8 supports up to 40Gbps vs. Cat6A’s 10Gbps.

• Shielding: Cat8 uses full S/FTP shielding for superior EMI protection.

• Distance: Cat8 performs best at shorter distances (≤30m).

Q7: Is ZORA Cat8 cable compliant with international standards?

A: Yes. ZORA Cat8 cables comply with ISO/IEC 11801, ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and RoHS environmental standards, ensuring high quality, performance, and environmental safety.
