StarTech.com Cat.8 Patch S/FTP Network Cable

<p>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.</p> <p><b>Pure Bare Copper Wire</b></p> <p>Our 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><b>Durable Construction</b></p> <p>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.</p> <p>The cable is rated to withstand -/+90-degree bends and routes well in confined spaces.</p> <p><b>Versatile Dependability</b></p> <p>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.</p> <p><b>ETL Verified</b></p> Our Cat8 Ethernet Cables are ETL Verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring peak performance for high-speed 25G/40G applications. Independent testing confirms compliance with strict insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk limits, maintaining stable signal transmission over longer runs. The S/FTP shielding is verified for EMI resistance, for guaranteed reliability in demanding environments.<p></p> <p>Backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards ensure seamless integration into existing network environments. Each cable is individually tested using a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™ for guaranteed Cat8 performance.</p>
