## Summary description

The StarTech.com 15m CAT8 Ethernet Cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, supports data rates up to 40Gbps, and is made with 26AWG pure bare copper wire. It is ideal for high-speed networking applications and is Fluke channel tested for reliability.

## Long description

The StarTech.com 15m CAT8 Ethernet Cable provides a shielded S/FTP design with snagless RJ45 connectors for reliable connections to 25G and 40G networks. With a 2000 MHz rating and 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, the cable supports high-throughput links up to 40 Gbps and is backward compatible with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e systems. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions for safer installations in confined or regulated environments.
Advantages
The cable uses 4-pair S/FTP construction with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding around each pair to reduce EMI and crosstalk. 26AWG pure bare copper wire provides low resistance and consistent signal transmission. Snagless, 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors are rated for more than 750 mating cycles to ensure durable physical connections. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat. The cable is Fluke channel tested to meet Cat8 performance requirements.
Suitable for
 Connecting 25G/40GBASE-T switches and networking equipment
 High-density server racks, NAS and SAN interconnects
 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) delivery up to 100W
 Environments requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling (trains, aircraft, regulated buildings)

How to use
Route the 15 m CAT8 cable between network devices ensuring connector latches are aligned and fully inserted into RJ45 ports. Use the snagless strain relief to guide the cable through patch panels or tight spaces and avoid sharp kinks; the cable is rated to withstand ±90-degree bends. For PoE applications, confirm the connected equipment supports PoE++ and the power budget does not exceed 100W. Test the installed link with appropriate certification tools for guaranteed Cat8 performance.
Usage recommendations
For reliable 25G/40G performance, keep cable runs within structured cabling guidelines, avoid prolonged exposure to electromagnetic interference sources, and verify system compatibility with Cat8-rated components. Use Fluke or equivalent channel testers after installation to confirm link performance.
