StarTech NLWH-6IN-CAT8-PATCH 6" Cat8 Ethernet Cable
Overview
This 6-inch white Cat8 Ethernet patch cable, model NLWH-6IN-CAT8-PATCH, provides a short, high-performance link for demanding network environments. Its 26 AWG solid copper conductors and S/FTP shielding minimize crosstalk and EMI, ensuring signal integrity for 25Gbps and 40Gbps data rates up to 2000MHz. The snagless RJ45 connectors with gold plating and 750 mating cycle rating ensure reliable connections in high-density server racks or for connecting network-attached storage (NAS) devices. The low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket is suitable for installations requiring fire safety compliance.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with any network device featuring an RJ45 port and supporting Cat8 standards. It is fully compatible with 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T Ethernet networks. The 100W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) rating ensures it can safely carry power to devices like high-performance wireless access points, PTZ cameras, or other PoE-powered equipment without overheating. It is also backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat7, and older Ethernet standards for broader network integration.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Its compact 0.2-inch outer diameter and 6-inch length are ideal for short, clean runs in tight spaces. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 clip during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. ETL verification confirms it meets TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards and performance requirements.
