## Long description

The StarTech.com NLBL-50C-CAT8-PATCH is a 0.5 m Blue Shielded LSZH Category 8 Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors, designed for 25G/40G networks and supporting data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps. Constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper in a 4-pair S/FTP configuration and fluke channel tested, the cable provides high-frequency performance (up to 2000 MHz) and backward compatibility with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e systems.
Advantages
This Cat8 cable uses pure bare copper 26AWG conductors and 4-pair S/FTP shielding (aluminum-mylar foil plus tinned copper braid) for improved conductivity, low resistance, and enhanced EMI protection. Snagless 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure a precise fit and durability beyond 750 mating cycles. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces toxic fumes and smoke in the event of fire and permits safer indoor and constrained-space installations. Rated for -/+90° bends, the cable routes easily in confined spaces and supports PoE++ up to 100 W.
Suitable for
Connecting 25G/40G switches and network devices
High-density data center or server rack patching
Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) links
Power over Ethernet (PoE++) connections for access points and IP cameras
Upgrading existing Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a installations to 25/40G-capable links
Key specifications

Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 (snagless)
Cabling: S/FTP (4-pair shielded and foiled twisted pair)
Conductor: 26AWG pure bare copper
Frequency: up to 2000 MHz
Data rate: up to 40 Gbps (40GBase-T)
Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
Color: Blue
PoE support: up to 100 W (PoE++)
Tested: Fluke channel tested for Cat8 performance
How to use
Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding RJ45 port on the switch, network device, or patch panel until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable to link 25G/40G switches, NAS, SAN, SFP-equipped devices or PoE-capable equipment. Route the cable through cable managers or raceways as required, avoiding excessive tension or sharp kinks. The snagless boots protect the connector clip during installation and removal in dense racks.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 40GBase-T connections, avoid tight bends beyond the rated -/+90° limit, and maintain proper separation from high-power electrical lines to reduce EMI. Verify end-to-end channel testing when integrating into critical or long channel deployments.
