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

This StarTech.com CAT8 Ethernet Cable is designed for high-performance networking environments requiring ultra-fast data transfer and reliable power delivery. Featuring a length of 40 feet, this white patch cord is ideal for connecting 25/40Gbps switches, NAS devices, SANs, and SFP modules in enterprise and industrial settings. The cable's 2000MHz frequency range supports throughput up to four times higher than Cat6a, enabling seamless handling of bandwidth-intensive applications and high-density network deployments. Its construction utilizes 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors, which provide enhanced conductivity and low resistance for consistent, high-quality signals. The shielded foil and braided shielding in aluminum-mylar offer superior EMI protection, ensuring minimal interference even in electrically noisy environments. The snagless design of the connectors features 50-micron gold plating, facilitating a secure, precise connection that withstands over 750 mating cycles, reducing wear over time. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket makes it suitable for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas, emitting low smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to heat or fire, thus improving safety in industrial, transportation, and residential applications. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, this cable reliably powers IP cameras, access points, and other PoE-enabled devices, simplifying deployment without additional power supplies. ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, each cable undergoes rigorous testing with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to guarantee performance compliance and stability over long runs. Its backward compatibility with Cat 6, 6a, 5, and 5e standards ensures easy integration into existing network infrastructures, making it a versatile choice for upgrading or expanding network capabilities. The durable, flexible design withstands bends up to 90 degrees and is easy to route through tight spaces, providing a dependable solution for high-speed, power-enabled network setups.
