StarTech.com 3ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G 2000MHz, 100W PoE, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH Network Patch Cord

This StarTech.com 3-foot white CAT8 Ethernet cable is designed for high-performance enterprise network deployments, supporting data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and a maximum frequency of 2000 MHz. The cable's innovative construction ensures reliable high-speed connections for demanding applications such as data centers, server rooms, and high-density network environments. Its shielded S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) design employs aluminum-mylar foil and braided tinned copper shields, providing superior EMI protection and signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The cable's 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors deliver excellent conductivity, low resistance, and consistent performance across various operating conditions. The snagless design with gold-plated connectors minimizes wear during repeated insertions, rated beyond 750 mating cycles, ensuring durability and long-term performance. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes during fire, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas including industrial sites, transportation, and residential installations. The cable's flexible construction withstands bends up to ±90 degrees, facilitating easy routing through tight spaces and complex layouts. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, this cable can power PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, access points, and switches, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional power supplies. Backward compatible with Cat 6, 6a, and 5 standards, it integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures. Certified through Fluke channel testing for guaranteed Cat8 performance, the StarTech.com CAT8 patch cord offers a reliable and future-proof solution for high-speed data and power transmission in demanding environments.
