Although the Cat 7 cable is an ISO/IEC 11801 wiring standard for 10 Gb/s over a maximum of 100 m, the IEEE, which develops ALL USA wiring standards has concluded a Cat 8 standards study within the P802.3bq Task Force. This work was concluded on June 30, 2016. The Cat 8 cable standard outlines the transmission of 25 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s data over ethernet using copper cable.
Click Here The IEEE sets the technical standards for the ANSI TIA/EIA to implement in structured wiring proforma, known as 5xx, 6xx and 7xx (such as TIA/EIA 568A or 568B wiring). At this time, I don't know the TIA group which will publish the TIA/EIA standards for Cat 8.
If you thought the specifications for ISO/IEC Cat 7 standards were tough, read the standards which have been adopted by IEEE SA for Cat 8.
