Perfect for data centers and high-performance applications.

## Long description

Ethernet Cable StarTech.com 3m RJ45 Cat8 Blue provides a shielded LSZH Cat8 connection for reliable 25G/40G networking. This 3 m snagless S/FTP Category 8 patch cable supports up to 40 Gbps data rates with a 2000 MHz frequency and is constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors for low resistance and consistent performance. The cable is backward compatible with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e and is suitable for installations where low smoke zero halogen jacket material is required.
Advantages
The cable’s S/FTP 4-pair construction uses aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding per pair, reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable transmission. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micro gold plating provide precise mating, rated for over 750 cycles, while the LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The 26AWG pure bare copper conductors deliver improved conductivity and minimal signal loss compared with plated or copper-clad alternatives.
Suitable for
 Connecting 25G/40GBASE-T switches and networking devices
 Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Networks (SANs)
 High-density data center and server rack deployments
 Power over Ethernet installations up to 100W (PoE++)
 Environments requiring LSZH cabling such as confined or poorly ventilated spaces
Key specifications
 Length: 3 m
 Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (snagless)
 Category: Cat8 (S/FTP)
 Maximum data rate: up to 40 Gbps
 Frequency: 2000 MHz
 Conductor: 26AWG pure bare copper
 Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
 Colour: Blue
 PoE support: up to 100W (PoE++)
How to use
Plug the snagless RJ45 connectors into the corresponding RJ45 ports on your 25G/40G switch, SFP module adapter, NAS or other networking device. Route the cable through racks, trays or conduits while observing the cable’s bend tolerance. Avoid excessive twisting and do not exceed the recommended pull force during installation. For best performance, use within the same channel or link specifications for Cat8-rated installations and ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure.
Usage recommendations
For reliable high-speed links, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 40GBase-T switching and use Fluke-tested Cat8 channels when possible. When installing in mixed-category environments, maintain separate routing or proper segregation from unshielded cables to preserve shielding effectiveness.
