Real Cable Eight Stream 1m

Overview

The Eight Stream Ethernet cable from Real Cable represents excellence in wired network connectivity. This high-end CAT 8 cable delivers exceptional performance with transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps and a bandwidth of 2 GHz. Designed with premium materials and sophisticated shielding, it ensures optimal stability and reliability for all your demanding network connections, whether for HD streaming, online gaming or professional applications.

Cutting-edge technical performance

The Eight Stream stands out with impressive technical specifications that place it at the top of the Ethernet cable hierarchy. With a transmission speed of up to 40 Gbps (40,000 Mbps), it far outperforms lower-category cables. This ultrafast transfer capability is supported by a bandwidth of 2,000 MHz (2 GHz), enabling massive data transmission without latency.

This exceptional performance makes the Eight Stream a future-ready cable, capable of meeting the growing demands of home and professional networks. Even if your current Internet connection does not reach these speeds, your local network infrastructure will be able to transfer large files between devices at lightning-fast speeds.

The Eight Stream is particularly suited to environments where network stability is crucial. Its advanced design minimizes signal loss and interference, ensuring a consistent connection even under the most demanding conditions.

Premium construction for optimal signal quality

The Eight Stream’s build quality reflects Real Cable’s expertise in connectivity. This cable uses high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper), known for its excellent conductive properties that optimize signal transmission.

The S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding system is one of this cable’s major strengths. This technology combines aluminum foil individually surrounding each wire pair with a copper braid enclosing the entire assembly. This dual protection provides maximum resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments.

Each conductor pair is individually processed, with precise twisting that helps reduce crosstalk (interference between pairs). The RJ45 connectors feature a robust, fully shielded zinc housing, extending interference protection right to the ends of the cable.

The braided nylon outer jacket provides not only a premium appearance but also increased resistance to everyday wear, bending and mechanical stress.

HSCC technology: innovation for performance

The Eight Stream incorporates HSCC (High Spec Copper Conductor) technology, an exclusive innovation from Real Cable. This technology is based on oxygen-free copper conductors surrounded by a special polypropylene (PP) insulating jacket. This jacket is injected under high pressure in a vacuum environment, binding the strands extremely tightly.

This sophisticated manufacturing process significantly reduces the gaps between the conductors and their insulation, optimizing electrical conductivity. The result is a notable improvement in signal dynamics and data transmission accuracy.

The Eight Stream also features progressive double insulation (PP gradient insulation). This design combines the inner jacket’s specific dielectric properties with the outer jacket to create an effective barrier against any harmful influence from the external environment. This additional protection helps maintain signal integrity along the entire length of the cable.

Versatile use in every environment

The Eight Stream from Real Cable adapts to a wide range of usage scenarios, for both demanding home users and professionals. In a home setting, it excels at connecting high-end home theater equipment, network players, network-enabled amplifiers or gaming consoles.

For high-definition video streaming (4K, 8K), the Eight Stream provides sufficient bandwidth to avoid any buffering issues or deterioration in picture quality. Online gamers will appreciate the connection stability and reduced latency, crucial factors in competitive games where every millisecond counts.

In a professional setting, this cable is perfectly suited to businesses, retail outlets and stores with connected equipment in suitable racks. Its reliability makes it a wise choice for environments where any network interruption can have significant consequences for operations.

The Eight Stream is also ideal for remote working, providing a stable, fast connection for video conferencing, large file transfers and access to company servers. Its ability to maintain consistent performance even under heavy network loads makes it a valuable ally for professionals working from home.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between a CAT 8 cable like the Eight Stream and a standard CAT 6 cable?

The fundamental difference lies in performance: the Eight Stream (CAT 8) offers a transmission speed of up to 40 Gbps and a bandwidth of 2 GHz, compared to 1 Gbps and 250 MHz for a standard CAT 6. The shielding is also superior with the Eight Stream’s S/FTP technology, which protects each pair individually with an aluminum foil and adds an overall copper braid. These features enable faster and more reliable data transfers, especially over short distances and in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.

What exactly does S/FTP shielding mean, and why is it important?

S/FTP stands for Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair. This type of shielding combines an overall metal braid (S for Screened) that surrounds the entire cable with metal foils (F for Foiled) that individually protect each twisted pair. In the case of the Eight Stream, the braid is made of copper, and the foils are aluminum. This dual protection is crucial as it effectively isolates the signal from external electromagnetic interference and prevents crosstalk between pairs, ensuring signal integrity even in electrically charged environments.

Is the Eight Stream compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology?

Yes, the Eight Stream is fully compatible with all current PoE standards, including PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), which can deliver up to 100W. Its robust construction with high-quality OFC copper and excellent shielding allows it to efficiently transmit both data and power without signal degradation. This is a significant advantage for connecting devices such as surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi access points, or VoIP phones that use this technology.
