Description

StarTech NLWH-3F-CAT8-PATCH 3ft White Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-3F-CAT8-PATCH is a 3-foot white Cat8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections. It supports 40Gbps data transfer rates and up to 2000MHz frequency, making it suitable for demanding applications like high-performance computing, data centers, and advanced surveillance systems requiring maximum throughput. The cable's 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) rating ensures it can power compatible devices without needing a separate power source, simplifying installations.

Compatibility

This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e Ethernet standards. It is designed for use with network devices featuring RJ45 connectors, including high-speed switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that require Cat8 performance. The 100W PoE++ capability makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal integrity and prevent damage during insertion and removal. The 26 AWG solid copper conductors provide superior performance, while the S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with Aluminum-Mylar tape and braid shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal quality at 40Gbps. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material reduces toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where safety regulations are stringent.
