Description

StarTech NLWH-25F-CAT8-PATCH 25ft Cat 8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-25F-CAT8-PATCH is a 25-foot, white, Category 8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth network infrastructure. It supports 25Gbps and 40Gbps data transfer rates up to 2000MHz, making it suitable for demanding applications like high-performance computing, data centers, and advanced surveillance systems requiring maximum throughput. The cable's construction includes pure bare copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity. It also supports up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery, simplifying deployment by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.

Compatibility

This Cat 8 cable is backward compatible with Cat 7, Cat 6a, Cat 6, and Cat 5e Ethernet standards. It is designed for use with network devices featuring RJ45 connectors, including high-speed network switches, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that require 25G/40GBASE-T connectivity. It is particularly suited for environments utilizing IEEE 802.3bt compliant devices requiring up to 100W of power over Ethernet.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors to prevent damage during installation and removal. The 26 AWG wire gauge and 5.6 mm OD ensure flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is critical 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 fire. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
