StarTech NLWH-15F-CAT8-PATCH 15ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech NLWH-15F-CAT8-PATCH is a 15-foot, white, Category 8 Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network infrastructure. It supports data transfer rates up to 40Gbps and a frequency range of 2000 MHz, making it suitable for demanding applications like high-resolution surveillance systems, data centers, and high-speed network backbones where bandwidth is critical. The snagless RJ-45 connectors and 100W PoE++ support simplify deployment in environments requiring robust connectivity and power delivery over a single cable.
Compatibility
This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e systems, but to achieve its full 40Gbps and 2000 MHz performance, it must be terminated with compatible Cat8 network devices and switches. It is designed for use with any standard RJ-45 networking equipment, including network video recorders (NVRs), IP cameras, switches, and servers that support Cat8 specifications. The IEEE 802.3bt compliance ensures it can safely carry up to 100W of power for PoE-enabled devices.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 26 AWG pure bare copper conductor construction with S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, consisting of an aluminum-mylar tape and braid shield, to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is crucial for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations, as it produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to heat. The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 connector tabs during installation and removal, and the gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, rated for 750+ mating cycles.
