StarTech.com 50ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G 2000MHz, 100W PoE, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper, LSZH Network Patch Cord

The StarTech.com NLWH50FCAT8PATCH is a 50-foot white Cat8 Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-performance network environments. Designed to connect switches, NAS devices, SAN systems, and PoE++ devices, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and a maximum frequency of 2000MHz, providing four times the throughput of standard Cat6a cables. Its robust construction ensures reliable, high-speed connections suitable for demanding applications such as data centers and enterprise networks.

Constructed with four shielded twisted pairs of 26 AWG pure bare copper wire, the cable offers excellent conductivity and minimal signal loss. The S/FTP shielding—comprising aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid—protects against electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity in high-density or electrically noisy environments. The snagless design features micro gold-plated connectors rated for over 750 mating cycles, ensuring durability and consistent performance over time. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting low smoke and toxic fumes during exposure to extreme heat or fire, making it suitable for installation in confined or sensitive areas including industrial, transportation, and residential settings.

This versatile cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, enabling reliable power delivery to devices such as security cameras, access points, and IP cameras. Its backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards allows seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. Fluke channel tested for Cat8 performance, this cable guarantees high-quality transmission and dependable operation. The flexible design allows routing through tight spaces and around obstacles, making installation straightforward and efficient. With a lifetime limited warranty, the StarTech.com Cat8 patch cable offers a reliable, future-proof solution for high-speed, high-density network setups, ensuring optimal performance and long-term dependability for your connectivity needs.
