Upon joining the Amphenol Cables on Demand team in 2007 as Product Manager, shortly after the company’s launch, it didn’t take long to realize that despite having just worked in the same interconnect manufacturing industry for nearly three years (albeit on the defense/aerospace side for a competing firm), I still had a sizeable amount of...
What is Category-8 and when did it debut on the market? Category-8, also known as CAT-8, represents the most up-to-date and best-performing of the “Cat Cable” family of Ethernet Patch Cable standards. Category-8 was fully ratified by the ANSI TIA/EIA standards committee TR43 working group under 568-C.2-1 in 2016. It is therefore a fully published...
Can Category-8 (CAT-8) Cables substitute for SFP28 Cables and QSFP28 Cables? Absolutely, the aforementioned server/switch OEM’s are designing their hardware to use Category-8 Network Patch Cords in lieu of far more costly High-Speed Direct Attach (DAC) Cables, Optical Transceiver Modules and Active Optical Cable (AOC) assemblies. A 25Gbps or 40Gbps CAT8-based link can substitute for...
