Description

StarTech NLWH-40F-CAT8-PATCH 40ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-40F-CAT8-PATCH is a 40-foot, white, snagless Cat8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency network infrastructure. It supports 25Gbps and 40Gbps data transfer rates up to 30 meters, making it suitable for demanding applications like high-resolution video surveillance recording, large file transfers, and high-performance computing environments. The 100W PoE++ rating ensures sufficient power delivery for connected devices without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e systems. It is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, servers, and workstations that require the highest available Ethernet speeds and bandwidth. It supports IEEE 802.3bt standards for PoE++ power delivery, ensuring compatibility with devices drawing up to 100W.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors to protect the locking tabs during installation and removal. Its 26 AWG solid copper conductors provide superior performance and reliability. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is suitable for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations, minimizing toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
