High-speed network connectivity
This StarTech.com 3ft blue CAT8 Ethernet cable delivers ultra-fast 25G and 40G data speeds, ideal for demanding network environments like SANs, NAS devices, and 40GBASE-T switches.
Its 2000MHz frequency rating offers up to four times the throughput of Cat6a cables, ensuring high-bandwidth applications run smoothly.
Superior shielding and wiring
Featuring 4-pair shielded and foiled twisted pair (S/FTP) construction, this cable minimizes electromagnetic interference for reliable data transmission.
The core utilizes 26AWG pure bare copper wiring, improving conductivity and reducing signal loss across varied environments.
- S/FTP shielding with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid
- 26AWG pure bare copper for consistent performance
Durable connectors and jacket
Gold-plated, snagless RJ45 connectors provide a precise fit and resist wear over 750 mating cycles, supported by strain reliefs for added durability.
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes during fires, suitable for industrial and residential installations.
- 50-micro gold-plated connectors
- Flexible LSZH flame-retardant jacket
- Supports tight -/+90-degree bends
Versatile compatibility and power delivery
Backwards compatible with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards for seamless integration into existing networks.
