StarTech.com 1ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable with Snagless RJ45 Connectors – 25/40Gbps, 2000MHz, PoE++ Support

StarTech 1ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G 2000MHz, 100W PoE, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH Network Patch Cord

Connect your high-speed network devices seamlessly with the StarTech.com NLWH-1F-CAT8-PATCH Ethernet cable. Designed for enterprise environments, this Cat8 S/FTP patch cord supports data transmission rates up to 25 and 40 gigabits per second, making it ideal for demanding applications such as data centers, SANs, and high-performance switch connections. The 2000MHz bandwidth ensures significantly higher throughput compared to traditional Cat6a cables, facilitating faster data transfer and minimizing latency. The cable’s construction features four shielded twisted pairs with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding, providing excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection for reliable performance even in electrically noisy environments. The 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors enhance conductivity and ensure low resistance, resulting in consistent, high-quality signal transmission across extended distances. The snagless design of the 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensures easy installation and minimizes wear over thousands of mating cycles, while the rated durability allows for over 750 insertions, making this cable a long-lasting solution for high-density deployments. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket offers added safety, emitting low smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to extreme heat, making it suitable for installation in confined or poorly ventilated spaces such as data centers, industrial settings, or transportation environments like trains and aircraft. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, this cable can power critical PoE devices like IP cameras, access points, and switches, reducing the need for additional power supplies. Certified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and independently tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer, the StarTech Cat8 patch cable guarantees high performance, low insertion loss, minimal return loss, and crosstalk limits. Compatibility extends to previous Ethernet standards such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Whether for high-density enterprise networks or critical PoE applications, this cable offers dependable, high-speed connectivity in a compact, flexible, and safe design.
