StarTech.com 30ft White Cat8 Ethernet Cable
Product ID: NLWH-30F-CAT8-PATCH
Product Overview
This 30-foot white StarTech.com Cat8 Ethernet Cable is designed for enterprise-level networking, supporting 25Gbps and 40Gbps speeds with a 2000MHz frequency range, offering up to four times the throughput of Cat6a cables. It is optimized for high-density 25/40GBASE-T networks and supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices.
The cable features a Snagless S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction utilizing 26AWG pure bare copper wire for enhanced conductivity and minimal signal loss. Each pair is shielded with aluminum-mylar foil and a tinned copper braid to provide superior EMI protection, ensuring consistent throughput and power delivery. The connectors are snagless and feature 50-micron gold plating for a precise fit and durability, rated for over 750 mating cycles.
The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket is designed for safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, emitting low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or fire. This makes it suitable for industrial settings, transportation environments like trains and aircraft, and residential areas where building code compliance is critical. The cable is built to withstand +/-90-degree bends, allowing for easy routing in confined spaces.
It facilitates reliable connectivity and power delivery to critical PoE devices such as IP cameras and access points, as well as 25G/40G switches, Network Attached Storage (NAS), and Storage Area Networks (SANs). The cable is backward compatible with Cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 5, and Cat 5e standards, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. It has undergone Fluke channel testing to guarantee Cat8 performance.
Two white StarTech.com Cat8 Ethernet cables with snagless RJ45 connectors are shown.
