StarTech.com NLBL-50C-CAT8-PATCH network cable 0.5 m S/FTP (S-STP) Round

Connect reliably to a 25G/40G network using this LSZH Cat8 shielded cable

Connect to a 25/40Gbps network switch or device using this Snagless S/FTP Category 8 Ethernet cable. The 2000MHz maximum frequency enables up to four times the performance of Cat6a.

Pure Copper Wire

Our Snagless Cat8 cables are engineered for long-lasting performance. The 4-pair shielded and foiled twisted-pair (S/FTP) construction uses 26AWG pure copper wire to improve conductivity and reduce resistance, ensuring reliable transmission and minimal signal loss.

Pure copper cabling offers consistent performance characteristics across different environments. Each pair is shielded with aluminum mylar foil and tinned copper braiding to improve protection against EMI.

Durable Construction

The Cat8 Ethernet cable features snagless 50-micron gold-plated connectors that allow for a precise fit to minimize wear and are rated for 750+ connector mating cycles. The flexible LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flame-retardant jacket emits low smoke and toxic gases when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This allows for safer installations in poorly ventilated areas, including some industrial settings, standalone environments like trains and planes, as well as residential settings where building code compliance must be considered.

The cable is rated to withstand -/+90-degree bends and routes well in tight spaces.

Versatile and Reliable

The shielded Cat8 patch cable is ideal for high-density 25/40GBASE-T networks and supports up to 100W output for Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices. It establishes connectivity with 25G/40G switches, network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), and SFP modules. It facilitates reliable throughput and power to critical, low-latency PoE devices, including PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras.

Backward compatibility with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards ensures seamless integration into existing network environments. Our Snagless Cat8 cables have been Fluke tested to ensure Cat8 performance.
