Description

StarTech NLBL-10F-CAT8-PATCH 10ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBL-10F-CAT8-PATCH is a 10-foot, blue Cat8 Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency network applications. It supports 25Gbps and 40Gbps data transfer rates up to 2000MHz, making it suitable for demanding environments such as data centers, high-performance workstations, and network-attached storage (NAS) systems. The cable also supports up to 100W of PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), ensuring sufficient power delivery for connected devices without requiring a separate power supply. Its snagless design simplifies installation and removal.

Compatibility

This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e systems. It is designed for use with network devices featuring RJ-45 connectors, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that require high-speed data transmission and/or PoE++ power.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 26 AWG conductor gauge and S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with aluminum-mylar tape and braid shielding to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material reduces toxic fumes and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where safety regulations are stringent. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
