Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-10F-CAT8-PATCH is a 10-foot white, snagless Cat8.1 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, high-power applications. It supports 40Gbps data transfer rates and up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure, including high-performance surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where reliable, high-speed connectivity is critical. The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 26 AWG solid copper conductors minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) for optimal signal integrity.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for Cat8.1 networks, supporting 2000MHz frequencies and 40GBASE-T Ethernet standards. It is backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, and lower categories for broader network integration. The RJ45 connectors are compatible with standard network ports on switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP devices. Its 100W PoE++ rating ensures it can safely power high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and other network equipment requiring substantial power delivery over Ethernet.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, preventing the tab from breaking during installation and removal, which is crucial for frequent reconfigurations or troubleshooting. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket material reduces toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a key consideration for plenum spaces or enclosed installations. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is rated for 750 insertion cycles, ensuring durability for repeated connections.
