StarTech NLBL-6IN-CAT8-PATCH 6in Blue Cat8 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech NLBL-6IN-CAT8-PATCH is a 6-inch (0.5 ft) Category 8 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency network applications. Its short length minimizes signal degradation and clutter in dense server racks or network closets, making it ideal for connecting high-performance network devices like switches, servers, and workstations that require maximum throughput. The snagless RJ45 connectors ensure a secure fit without obstructing adjacent ports.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for Cat8 network environments, supporting data rates up to 40Gbps and frequencies up to 2000MHz. It is fully compliant with PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) standards, capable of delivering up to 100W of power, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones over a single Ethernet cable. It uses the TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard.
Installation Notes
The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material, which is crucial for installations in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety regulations are stringent. The 26 AWG solid copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission, while the S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
