Description

StarTech NLWH-1F-CAT8-PATCH 1ft White Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-1F-CAT8-PATCH is a 1-foot, white Category 8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth network infrastructure. It supports data transfer rates up to 40Gbps and frequencies up to 2000MHz, making it suitable for demanding applications like data centers, high-performance computing, and advanced AV systems. The cable's 100W PoE++ rating ensures it can power high-demand devices without requiring a separate power source, simplifying installations. Its snagless RJ45 connectors prevent damage during connection and disconnection, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material offers enhanced safety in enclosed spaces.

Compatibility

This Cat8 patch cable is backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, and older Ethernet standards. It is designed to work with any network device featuring an RJ45 port, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. Specifically, it is ideal for connecting 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T network equipment. The 100W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) support makes it compatible with high-power devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require more than 30W of power.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless connectors to protect the locking tab during installation and removal. Its 26 AWG solid copper conductors ensure signal integrity, and the S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with aluminum-mylar tape and braid shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining 40Gbps speeds. The LSZH jacket is rated for use in environments where fire safety is a concern, operating between 0°C and 50°C. The ETL verification confirms it meets TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards and performance requirements for 2000MHz.
