Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Rated 40Gbps at 2000MHz bandwidth, roughly 4x Cat6a throughput
  • ✓ F/FTP dual shielding (overall plus per-pair foil) cuts EMI/RFI in noisy racks
  • ✓ Roughly half the diameter of standard Cat8, so three fit one normal cable's space
  • ✓ Fluke DSX-8000 tested and ANSI/TIA 568.2-D compliant pure-copper 30AWG

Cons

  • ✗ 0.5ft length only works switch-to-switch or panel-to-switch, not across a rack
  • ✗ 30AWG conductors are thinner than 24AWG runs and less tolerant of rough pulls
  • ✗ 40G needs Cat8-capable NICs and switches most home setups do not have
  • ✗ Uniform single color offers no port or VLAN color-coding out of the box
