StarTech 6ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G 2000MHz, 100W PoE, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH Network Patch Cord

Enhance your high-speed network with the StarTech.com 6ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, designed for demanding enterprise environments. This cable supports data transfer rates up to 40Gbps over distances suitable for large-scale data centers and high-performance network setups. Its 2000MHz frequency range ensures up to four times the throughput of traditional Cat6a cables, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 25G/40G switches, SANs, and NAS systems. The cable's construction utilizes 26AWG pure bare copper wire with braided shielding and aluminum-mylar foil to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent and reliable signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments. The shielded twisted pairs and high-quality connectors contribute to low signal loss and durability, supporting over 750 mating cycles with gold-plated, snagless RJ45 connectors that provide a secure and precise fit. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket enhances safety by emitting low smoke and toxic fumes during a fire, suitable for enclosed spaces like data centers, aircraft, and industrial settings. It is rated to withstand bends up to 90 degrees and fits easily into tight spaces, facilitating flexible deployment across various environments. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, this cable can power devices such as IP cameras, access points, and PoE switches, simplifying your network infrastructure by combining data and power delivery. ETL verified for ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, each cable undergoes rigorous testing to ensure minimal insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk, providing stable, high-speed connections over longer distances. Backward compatible with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards, it integrates seamlessly into existing networks, offering a reliable upgrade for critical network applications. Whether deploying in a data center, office, or industrial environment, this StarTech.com Cat8 patch cable offers a combination of high performance, safety, and durability for your advanced networking needs.
