StarTech.com 10ft Blue CAT8 Shielded LSZH Ethernet Cable

This 10ft Blue CAT8 Ethernet cable delivers exceptional performance with data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, ideal for demanding 25G/40GBASE-T network environments. Operating at a 2000 MHz frequency, it offers up to four times the throughput of Cat6a cables, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for critical applications.

Constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, this cable ensures low resistance and consistent transmission quality. Each twisted pair is individually shielded with aluminum-mylar foil and surrounded by a tinned copper braid, providing robust EMI protection for minimal signal interference.

The cable jacket utilizes Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits low smoke and toxic fumes under fire conditions, making it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. The snagless RJ45 connectors have 50-micro gold plating for durability and a secure fit, rated beyond 750 mating cycles. The cable supports bends up to +/-90 degrees allowing installation in tight spaces without damage.

Designed to support 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices, this cable reliably powers equipment such as PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras. It maintains backward compatibility with older Ethernet standards including Cat6, Cat6a, Cat5, and Cat5e for seamless network integration.

Each cable undergoes individual testing with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify compliance with Cat8 standards, providing confidence in its performance across high-demand network setups.
