StarTech.com 3ft White Cat 8 S/FTP Ethernet Cable – 25/40Gbps, 2000MHz, PoE++ Support

StarTech 3ft 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 with the StarTech.com NLWH-3F-CAT8-PATCH Ethernet cable, designed for enterprise-grade performance and reliability. This 3-foot patch cord features a white, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket that ensures safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, such as data centers, aircraft, or industrial environments. The cable's construction includes four shielded twisted pairs with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding, providing exceptional EMI resistance to maintain signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The pure bare copper conductors, rated at 26 AWG, deliver low resistance for consistent throughput and power delivery, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications up to 100W, making it suitable for PoE cameras, access points, and other critical devices. The snagless design with 50-micron gold-plated connectors enhances durability, allowing the connectors to withstand over 750 mating cycles while providing a precise, secure connection that minimizes wear and signal loss. This cable is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring compliance with high-speed 25G/40GBASE-T networks. It supports a maximum frequency of 2000MHz, enabling up to four times higher throughput than Cat6a, which makes it ideal for high-density data centers, SANs, NAS, and SFP modules. The flexible jacket withstands bends up to 90 degrees and facilitates routing through tight spaces, simplifying installation in challenging environments. Certified for environmental compliance under the EU RoHS and WEEE directives, this cable combines performance, safety, and durability for demanding network infrastructures.
