StarTech.com Cat 8 S/FTP Patch Network Cable - 15 ft, White

StarTech.com 15ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G 2000MHz, 100W PoE, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH Network Patch Cord

The StarTech.com NLWH-15F-CAT8-PATCH is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for demanding enterprise network environments. With a maximum frequency of 2000MHz, it supports data transfer rates up to 40Gbps, making it ideal for high-density 25/40GBASE-T networks. This cable provides a significant performance boost, offering up to four times the throughput of traditional Cat6a cables, ensuring your network can handle bandwidth-intensive applications with ease. Its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W facilitates reliable power delivery to network devices such as IP cameras, access points, and switches, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for separate power supplies.

The cable features shielded four-pair twisted pairs with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding, significantly reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Its 26AWG pure bare copper conductors deliver consistent conductivity and low resistance, ensuring reliable and stable data transmission. Gold-plated, snagless connectors rated beyond 750 mating cycles guarantee a durable connection with minimal wear, supporting long-term use in demanding environments. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, including industrial, transportation, and residential applications, where safety and fire safety standards are a priority.

This 15-foot cable is built to withstand harsh conditions, with the ability to handle bends of plus or minus 90 degrees and route efficiently through tight spaces. Fully tested to meet Cat8 performance standards, it guarantees high-speed, reliable connections for critical network infrastructure. Its backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a/5/5e standards allows seamless integration into existing network setups. Whether connecting to high-speed switches, NAS, SANs, or SFP modules, this cable ensures optimal performance and safety, supporting the increasing demands of modern network environments.
