StarTech.com 25ft White Cat8 S/FTP Ethernet Patch Cable with Snagless RJ45 Connectors

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

The StarTech.com NLWH25FCAT8PATCH is a high-performance 25-foot white Cat8 Ethernet cable designed for demanding networking environments. Built to support data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps, this cable features a maximum frequency of 2000MHz, enabling four times higher throughput than traditional Cat6a cables. Its robust construction makes it ideal for connecting high-speed switches, NAS, SANs, and PoE devices in data centers, server rooms, or industrial settings.

The cable employs a shielded foil and braid (S/FTP) design with 26 AWG pure bare copper wires, which ensures superior conductivity, minimal signal loss, and reliable transmission across extensive distances. The shielded construction provides excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, making this cable suitable for environments with significant electrical noise. The rugged yet flexible LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety by reducing smoke and toxic fumes during fire exposure, making it compliant with safety standards in confined or sensitive environments.

The StarTech Cat8 patch cord features snagless 50-micro gold-plated RJ-45 connectors that resist wear and maintain a secure connection through numerous mating cycles. The connectors are designed for easy installation and precise fit, reducing strain and wear over time. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) with up to 100W, the cable delivers both power and data to PoE-compatible devices such as security cameras, access points, and IP cameras, streamlining deployment in modern networks. Its backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards allows seamless integration with existing infrastructure.

Designed for durability and high performance, this cable withstands bends up to ±90 degrees and can be routed through tight spaces without compromising signal integrity. The shielded design and flame-retardant LSZH jacket contribute to a safer, more reliable network connection. Certified through Fluke channel testing for Cat8 standards, the StarTech.com 25ft Cat8 Ethernet patch cable ensures you receive maximum productivity with a dependable, future-proof solution for your high-speed networking needs.
