# CAT8
|
||
|
||
Never heard of her, but she is real.
|
||
|
||
## Really...

Telco Data [article](https://www.telco-data.com/blog/cat-cables/):
|
||
|
||
"Category 8 is the official successor to Cat6A cabling.
|
||
It is officially recognized by the IEEE and EIA and parts and pieces are standardized across manufacturers.
|
||
The primary benefit of Cat8 cabling is faster throughput over short distances: 40 Gbps up to 78’ and 25 Gbps up to 100’.
|
||
From 100’ to 328’, Cat8 provides the same 10Gbps throughput as Cat6A cabling."
|
||
|
||
ANSI/TIA [TIA Press Release](https://standards.tiaonline.org/tia-issues-new-balanced-twisted-pair-telecommunications-cabling-and-components-standard-addendum-1):
|
||
|
||
"TIA-568-C.2-1 - This addendum specifies minimum requirements for shielded category 8 balanced twisted-pair telecommunications
|
||
cabling (e.g. channels and permanent links) and components (e.g. cable,connectors, connecting hardware, and equipment cords)
|
||
that are used up to and including the equipment outlet/connector in data centers, equipment rooms, and other spaces that need
|
||
high speed applications. This addendum also specifies field test procedures and applicable laboratory reference measurement
|
||
procedures for all transmission parameters."
