Description

StarTech NLBL-1F-CAT8-PATCH 1ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBL-1F-CAT8-PATCH is a 1-foot, blue Category 8 Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed network deployments. It supports 40Gbps data rates and 2000MHz frequencies, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure, including high-performance computing, data centers, and advanced surveillance systems requiring maximum bandwidth. The short length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter in dense rack environments. This cable also supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++), simplifying device installation by providing both data and power over a single cable connection.

Compatibility

This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, and earlier Ethernet standards. It is designed for use with network devices requiring high bandwidth and low latency, such as 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T network switches, servers, routers, and high-performance network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, NVRs, and other surveillance equipment that leverages high-throughput network connections.

Installation Notes

The cable features 26 AWG conductors for optimal signal integrity and flexibility. Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable connectivity and resist corrosion, rated for 750 mating cycles. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material reduces toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a critical consideration for enclosed spaces like server racks and plenum spaces. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
