Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat8 3 ft. Shielded S/FTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), White, 40 Gbps PoE Support

Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat8 25G/40G-Certified Snagless Shielded S/FTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 3 ft. (0.91 m), TAA

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat8 Patch Network Cable (Part Number N272-003-WH) delivers high-performance connectivity ideal for demanding network environments. This 3-foot white shielded S/FTP Ethernet cable is engineered to support data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, making it four times faster than traditional Cat6a cables. Its high bandwidth capacity of up to 2 GHz ensures smooth streaming of video, voice, and data without lag, supporting high-speed 40G equipment such as network switches, routers, and modems. The cable's robust construction and certified standards ensure reliable performance in professional settings.

Designed with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket and a shielded foiled twisted pair (S/FTP) configuration, this cable effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are common sources of performance degradation. These EMI/RFI shielding features help maintain data integrity, reduce hardware issues, and extend the lifespan of connected equipment. Near-end crosstalk (NEXT) levels are minimized, simplifying installation in crowded rack environments and eliminating the need for extensive cable management testing.

This cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to power compatible devices such as security cameras, VoIP phones, and access control systems directly through the Ethernet connection. This feature reduces the need for separate power supplies, saving installation time and costs, and enables device placement in locations lacking nearby power outlets, such as ceilings and outdoor poles. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during installation, preventing damage and ensuring a secure connection. Integral strain relief provides extra flexibility, reducing stress on the connectors and preventing cable damage over time.

The cable's white PVC jacket is color-coded for easy identification within crowded racks or workstations, preventing accidental disconnections that could cause costly downtime. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty and manufactured in Taiwan by Eaton Corporation, this cable meets environmental standards including REACH compliance and TAA requirements. It is an environmentally friendly, reliable choice for high-speed networks requiring secure, efficient, and durable cabling solutions.

Features:

• Color-coded white for fast, easy identification in a crowded rack or workstation

• Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent tabs from being damaged during installation

• Dispels EMI/RFI line noise that can destroy data and affect equipment performance

• Supports PoE to save you expense and effort of powering PoE devices individually

• Certified Cat8 S/FTP patch cord rated for 40 Gbps networks—4x faster than Cat6a
