Description

StarTech NLWH-50F-CAT8-PATCH 50ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-50F-CAT8-PATCH is a 50-foot, white, snagless Cat8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth applications. It supports data transfer rates up to 40Gbps and frequencies up to 2000MHz, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure, including high-resolution surveillance systems and data centers. The cable's solid copper conductors and S/FTP shielding minimize interference, ensuring signal integrity for critical data transmission. Its 100W PoE rating allows for power delivery to connected devices without requiring a separate power source.

Compatibility

This Cat8 cable is backward compatible with Cat7, Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e systems. It is designed for use with network devices requiring 25GBASE-T or 40GBASE-T connectivity, such as high-performance network switches, servers, and IP cameras with high bandwidth requirements. The TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with standard networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors to protect the locking tab during installation and removal. Its low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket material is suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is rated for 750 insertion cycles, ensuring durability for frequent connections and disconnections.
