StarTech.com 2m White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G, 2000MHz, 100W PoE++, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH

The Snagless S/FTP Category 8 Ethernet Cable is engineered for high-performance networking, designed specifically to support enterprise-level 25/40Gbps applications. With a maximum frequency of 2000MHz, this cable significantly enhances throughput capacity, offering speeds up to four times higher than those of conventional Cat6a cables.

Superior Construction Material

Utilizing 26AWG pure bare copper wire, this Cat8 cable ensures enhanced conductivity and reduced resistance, enabling reliable performance across diverse environments. The cable’s 4-Pair Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) design not only minimizes signal loss but also significantly improves protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Each twisted pair is surrounded by aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid for optimal shielding.

Enhanced Durability

Constructed for longevity and dependable performance, the Cat8 Ethernet Cable features snagless 50-micro gold-plated connectors, designed to fit perfectly while minimizing wear and ensuring a reliable connection. With a rating beyond 750 insertions, these connectors are built for frequent use without sacrificing performance. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket contributes to safety in installations, particularly in poorly-ventilated areas. This jacket emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes in the event of combustion, making it suitable for enclosed spaces such as trains, aircraft, and industrial environments.

Versatile Performance

This Shielded Cat8 Patch Cord is an excellent choice for high-density 25/40GBASE-T networks and is capable of delivering up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++) to devices like IP cameras, access points, and PoE switches. This functionality ensures critical devices receive both data and power efficiently. Furthermore, the backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards allows for seamless integration into existing network setups.

Practical Specifications

Measuring 2 meters in length and available in a sleek white finish, this snagless Cat8 cable supports speeds of 10/25/40Gbps, making it ideal for a variety of applications. The cable features a compact 5.6mm (0.22in) outer diameter, allowing for easy routing in confined spaces while withstanding bends of up to +/-90 degrees. Fluke channel testing further guarantees its adherence to Cat8 performance specifications, ensuring you receive a reliable and high-quality product.

In summary, the Snagless S/FTP Category 8 Ethernet Cable is designed for advanced networking needs, delivering high performance, durability, and compatibility with various devices, ensuring a robust and dependable networking solution.
