## Summary description

The StarTech.com 12m CAT8 Ethernet Cable offers high-speed data transfer rates of up to 40Gbps. It features snagless RJ45 connectors, S/FTP shielding, and is made of 26AWG pure bare copper wire, ensuring durability and performance for demanding networking applications.

## Long description

Connect reliably to a 25G/40G network with the StarTech.com 12m CAT8 Ethernet Cable. This 12 m snagless S/FTP Cat8 patch cord supports up to 40Gbps data rates and a maximum frequency of 2000 MHz. Constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, aluminum-mylar foil and tinned-copper braid shielding, and white LSZH jacketing, the cable is designed for high-density 25G/40GBASE-T networks, backward compatibility with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e, and PoE++ power delivery up to 100W.
Advantages
The cable’s 4-pair S/FTP design and 26AWG pure bare copper wire provide low resistance and consistent conductivity for minimal signal loss. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micro gold plating offer precise mating and are rated for more than 750 connect/disconnect cycles. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits reduced smoke and toxic fumes, making installations safer in enclosed or regulated environments. Foil and braid shielding on each pair improve EMI protection for reliable high-speed transmission.
Suitable for
Connecting 25G/40G switches and network devices
High-density server racks, NAS and SAN connections
Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices up to 100W
Environments requiring LSZH cabling (trains, aircraft, certain buildings)

Brand / MPN / EAN: StarTech / NLWH-12M-CAT8-PATCH / 0065030898669
How to use
Route the cable between RJ45 ports on switches, network devices, NAS or SFP-equipped equipment. Align the snagless RJ45 plug with the device port and insert until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified -/+90-degree tolerance and secure the cable in cable management systems or trays to prevent strain at the connectors. For PoE applications, confirm compatible PoE++ equipment and power budgets before deployment.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use the cable in shielded or grounded installations where possible, maintain proper cable bend radius and separation from high-power electrical sources, and confirm channel testing (Fluke tested) when integrating into structured cabling systems.
