Tripp Lite CAT8 40G Snagless SSTP PoE Ethernet Cable, Blue, 1ft

This certified Cat8 cable transmits 40 Gbps data, voice and audio/video signals through high-speed 40G equipment, such as high-speed switch-to-switch communication devices in your data center. Not only is its 40 Gbps data transfer speed four times that of Cat6a cable, but this Cat8 Ethernet cable also supports bandwidth up to 1200 MHz for carrying information and streaming video with no lag.

Because this Cat8 shielded cable supports PoE, it can supply the power to operate compatible PoE devices, including network switches, security cameras, equipment sensors and wireless access points. This saves you the expense and effort of purchasing, connecting and installing individual power supplies for each device. It also helps you install PoE devices in areas far away from AC outlets, such as poles or ceilings.

The 26 AWG SSTP (screened shielded twisted pair) cable’s screened shielding blocks disruptive line noise that can disturb your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss. This EMI/RFI filtering also helps your connected components perform better and last longer. Near-end crosstalk (NEXT) levels are practically eliminated, so you don’t have to worry about keeping your cables separated in crowded pathways or spend valuable time on field testing.

The RJ45 connectors’ snagless design protects the locking tabs from being damaged or broken off during installation. Integral strain relief provides extra flexibility, reduces stress and helps the cable move freely without cracking or breaking loose from the connector.

This Cat8 Ethernet cable features a durable white PVC jacket, which is easy to identify quickly in a crowded patch panel or switch and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected.
