## Summary description

The StarTech.com 1m CAT8 Ethernet Cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, supports data rates up to 40Gbps, and is designed for high-speed networking. It is made with 26AWG pure bare copper wire and has S/FTP shielding for enhanced performance. Ideal for data centers and high-performance networks.

## Long description

StarTech.com's 1m CAT8 Ethernet Cable provides a shielded, snagless RJ45 connection for high-speed 25G/40G networks. Designed for data centers and high-performance networking, this Cat8 patch cable supports frequencies up to 2000 MHz and data rates up to 40 Gbps. It uses 26AWG pure bare copper conductors in an S/FTP (shielded and foiled twisted pair) construction and is backward compatible with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e installations.
Advantages
The cable's 26AWG pure bare copper wire offers improved conductivity and low resistance for reliable signal transmission and minimal loss. Each twisted pair is shielded with aluminum-mylar foil and a tinned copper braid to enhance protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Snagless 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure a precise fit and are rated for over 750 mating cycles. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame-retardant and emits low smoke and toxic fumes, suitable for installations where reduced smoke and fumes are required. The cable is flexible, supports -/+90-degree bends, and is Fluke channel tested to meet Cat8 performance standards.
Suitable for
High-density 25G/40GBASE-T data center connections
Connecting 25G/40G switches, NAS and SAN storage devices
Links to SFP modules and high-speed networking equipment
Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications up to 100W
Environments requiring LSZH-rated cabling (trains, aircraft, constrained spaces)

Brand / MPN / EAN: StarTech / NLWH-1M-CAT8-PATCH / 0065030898638
How to use
Plug one RJ45 connector into your 25G/40G network switch or device and the other into the corresponding port on the endpoint (NAS, SAN, SFP adapter, PoE device, or another switch). Route the cable through conduit or cable channels as needed, keeping bends within the -/+90-degree rating to maintain signal integrity. Ensure connectors are fully seated to obtain the rated mating cycles and to minimize connection wear.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this Cat8 cable for short, high-speed links within racks or between adjacent network equipment in data centers. Avoid prolonged tight bending and keep the cable away from large sources of EMI where possible. Verify compatibility with PoE devices and switches when delivering up to 100W.
