RJ-45 (CAT8)

The Ethernet IEEE 25GBASE-T/40GBASE-T RJ-45 (8P8C) TPA Plug Test Adapter (ETH-TPA-RJ45CAT8-P) exceeds testing hosts to the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 8 and IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards. This next-generation cabling offers four times the bandwidth of standard Category 6A cabling and is fully backward compatible with Category 6A cabling, including RJ45 connectivity.

Construction of the test adapter follows the EIA/TIA-568 standard with regard to pin/pair assignments and color coding, specifically incorporating the T568A configuration.
