What is a CAT 8 Ethernet Cable?

Category 8 (Cat8) cabling is a new version of Cat6A. The main benefit of Cat8 is that it can send data at faster speeds, but only over short distances; it can go up to 40 Gbps for up to 78 feet and 25 Gbps for up to 100 feet. After 100 feet, Cat8 provides the same 10 Gbps speed as Cat6A, but at a higher cost.

Because of these distance limits, Cat8 cables are best used in data centres, which effectively connect network equipment over short distances. At Performance Networks, we provide professional assistance and installation of data cabling, ensuring it is applied where it is most valuable. Contact us today to learn how we can enhance your network system!

Future-proof connectivity with Cat 8 Cabling

Next-Generation Ethernet Performance

Cat 8 cabling addresses the growing need for high speeds, extending applications to advanced data centres, high-performance computing networks, and medical facilities, where speed and security are crucial for data transfer. Moreover, as industries move toward AI, big data analytics, and cloud computing, Cat 8 provides ultra-high speeds to match the growth in emerging technologies.

Unrivalled Technical Superiority

Engineered for excellence, Cat 8 cabling has extensive shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. In this respect, it is secure and can deliver reliable data transmission even in high-interference environments. It is backwards compatible with existing Ethernet standards, meaning integration with an easy upgrade path for enhanced network performance.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"We were grateful that Performance Networks pulled out all the stops to deliver a project within a very tight timescale and to budget. From the planning to the implementation, the Performance Network team worked closely with the BISC IT team, ensuring what was provided best suited the BISC’s needs. And even when things did not go to plan, the Performance Networks team adapted quickly to the new situation and came up with alternative approaches which delivered the same objectives to the same cost. The rural location and older buildings with their associated infrastructure make any BISC IT project a challenge, but Performance Networks overcame every obstacle without hesitation, delivered as promised and followed up with post-implementation support which was unfailing. We would happily turn to Performance Networks again for future projects."

Sarah Butler – Librarian and Head of Learning, BISC

"From the first point of contact Performance Networks have been amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to networks and WiFi and are able to turn a complex topic into something simple and easy to understand. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone who needs a new network or is experiencing performance or connectivity issues with their existing network."

Steven Bennett, Head of IT, Manchester Central

"Performance Networks’ knowledge and expertise on WiFi solutions were invaluable to us during this huge and complex upscale project, and we are delighted with the work they have completed over the last few months.” “We’re really pleased to have completed this project, which is quite an undertaking and brings the technical infrastructure of our 19th century Palace very much up to speed with modern-day requirements."

Nick Johnson, IT Manager, Alexandra Palace

"Performance Networks resolved a complex ongoing WiFi issue in one visit; they are fast to respond and highly professional. We have since engaged them for further WiFi consultancy and thoroughly recommend their services."

David Jackson, DHL

"WiFi is now only an issue if it’s not available – and these occasions have been very few and far between. Access Points are remotely monitored so that Performance Networks can inform management if there is a problem even before they’re aware. Guests have a support line to call in case of difficulty. Performance Networks has helped Ragdale Hall to update its infrastructure to meet the requirements of the business, which is more and more reliant on technology. Guests and suppliers want instant communication, they need banks to provide immediate authorisations. All of this depends upon a stable platform, with excellent response when issues arise. As with WiFi, Ragdale Hall’s staff are only concerned when the technology gets in the way of providing outstanding customer service. Performance Networks have provided that stability and have been pro-active in ensuring that Ragdale Hall maintains and improves its systems."

Keith Palmer, IT Systems manager Ragdale Hall

"I have worked with several WiFi providers over 15 years at CCT, and Performance Networks are the only one who have truly understood the needs of our organisation. With three large conference centres that experience high guest footfall, our WiFi requirements are significant. Performance Networks have delivered a solution that meets our needs fully. I’ve been really impressed with their service after the installation too. They monitor our entire network and their support is second-to-none, proactively identifying and resolving issues before we’re even aware of them! I’m confident to say that our WiFi is sector-leading, which has a huge impact on guest experience."
