StarTech.com NLBL-2M-CAT8-PATCH 2m Blue CAT8 Ethernet Cable - LSZH

CAT8 ETHERNET CABLE

Connect to a 25/40Gbps switch or networking device using this Snagless S/FTP Category 8 Ethernet Cable. The 2000MHz maximum frequency enables up to four times higher throughput than Cat6a.

- Snagless S/FTP Cat8 cable is optimized for enterprise 25/40Gbps networks
- 2000MHz frequency range enhances throughput capacity
- Up to 4 times faster than Cat6a
- Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices up to 100W

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

The Snagless Cat8 Cables are designed for long-lasting performance. The 4-Pair Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) construction utilizes 26AWG pure bare copper wire for improved conductivity and low resistance, ensuring reliable transmission and minimal signal loss.

Pure bare copper wiring offers consistent performance characteristics across different environments. Each pair is shielded in aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid for enhanced EMI protection.

- Shielded 50-micron gold-plated connectors enable a precise fit to minimize wear and signal loss
- Rated beyond 750 insertions
- 26AWG pure bare copper wire with braided shield enhance EMI protection for consistent throughput and power

SAFETY AND RELIABILITY

The Cat8 Ethernet Cable features snagless 50-micro gold-plated connectors that enable a precise fit to minimize wear and are rated beyond 750 connector mating cycles. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket emits low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer installations in poorly-ventilated areas including some industrial settings, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where compliance with building codes must be considered.

- Fluke channel tested for guaranteed Cat8 performance
- PoE++ specifications complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is safe for enclosed/poorly ventilated spaces and emits low toxic fumes if combusted

VERSATILE DEPENDABILITY

The Shielded Cat8 Patch Cord is ideal for high-density 25/40GBASE-T networks and supports up to 100W output to Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices. Establish connectivity to 25G/40G switches, Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SANs), and SFP modules. It facilitates reliable throughput and power to low-latency and critical PoE devices, including PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras.

Backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards ensure seamless integration into existing network environments. The Snagless Cat8 cables are Fluke channel tested for guaranteed Cat8 performance.
