Furutech LAN-8 NCF High-Performance Category 8 Ethernet Cable
The Furutech LAN‑8 NCF Ethernet Cable is a meticulously engineered Category 8 S/FTP twisted-pair network cable designed for high-speed data transfer and demanding audio/video network applications. Selected for its premium materials and advanced shielding design, this cable is built to deliver stable, low-noise network performance for high-resolution streaming systems and professional networking setups.
Advanced NCF Connector Technology
A standout feature of this cable is Furutech’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) used in the connector shell. This multi-material hybrid construction incorporates a specially developed crystalline compound combined with nano-ceramic particles and carbon powder.
This technology provides multiple benefits:
- Helps reduce static buildup through the generation of negative ions
- Converts thermal energy into far-infrared energy, aiding mechanical stability
- Adds piezoelectric damping properties that help control vibration
Together, these materials help improve electrical and mechanical damping, contributing to greater clarity, improved tonal balance, and a lower perceived noise floor in high-performance audio systems.
Category 8 Performance
The LAN-8 NCF supports Category 8 Ethernet standards, offering dramatically higher bandwidth compared to previous generations.
Key capabilities include:
- Up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
- Bandwidth up to 2000 MHz
- Backward compatibility with Cat 7 and Cat 6 systems
Each twisted pair is individually shielded, and the cable assembly includes additional overall shielding to reduce crosstalk, RF interference, and system noise, helping maintain a fast and stable network connection.
High-Purity Conductors and Precision Connectors
To support high-speed signal transfer with minimal loss, the cable uses:
- 24 AWG silver-plated α-OCC conductors for excellent conductivity and low transmission loss
- Non-magnetic α-conductors in the RJ45 connectors with deep 24k gold plating
- Gold-plated copper alloy connector bodies designed to minimize magnetic interference and signal degradation
Comprehensive Shielding and Vibration Control
The LAN-8 NCF incorporates three layers of shielding combining aluminum foil and copper braiding. This structure provides exceptional noise isolation and helps reduce external interference that can affect network performance and audio playback quality.
Additional design features include:
- Carefully optimized twisted-pair geometry for improved RF shielding
- Advanced insulation and damping materials that support stable signal transmission and balanced frequency response
Durable Construction
The cable is finished with a flexible PVC outer jacket (UL/CL3 flammability rated and RoHS compliant) and a high-quality braided nylon sleeve that helps reduce internal resonance while improving durability and handling.
Outer diameter: approximately 7.0 ± 0.1 mm
Available Lengths
0.6M/1.2M/1.8M/2.5M/3.6M/5M and 7.5M/10M by request.
Rating
- Ultra-high-speed transmission cable with speeds up to 40Gbps 2000MHz 24AWG S/FTP
- Triple Shielding, Deep 24k gold plated RJ45 connector with NCF shell
- Category 8 compatible Ethernet LAN cable.
