## Summary description

The StarTech.com 2m CAT8 Ethernet Cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, supports data rates up to 40Gbps, and is made with 26AWG pure copper wire. Ideal for high-speed networking applications, it ensures reliable performance with shielding and strain reliefs.

## Long description

Connect reliably to 25G/40G networks with the StarTech.com 2m CAT8 Ethernet Cable. This snagless S/FTP Cat8 patch cable supports up to 2000 MHz and data rates to 40 Gbps, and is constructed with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, foil and braid shielding, and a flexible LSZH jacket for safer installations in confined or regulated spaces.
Advantages
The cable’s 4-pair shielded and foiled twisted-pair (S/FTP) design with 26AWG pure bare copper wire provides low resistance and improved conductivity for consistent signal transmission. Snagless, 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors reduce wear and are rated beyond 750 mating cycles. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes. The cable is rated for tight bends, supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W (PoE++), and is backward compatible with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e standards. Fluke channel tested to meet Cat8 performance requirements.
Suitable for
High-density 25G/40GBASE-T switching environments
Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) connections
Connecting SFP+ / SFP28 modules or high-speed uplinks (where compatible with RJ45)
Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices such as access points and IP cameras
Installations requiring low-smoke, flame-retardant cabling (trains, aircraft, industrial enclosures, compliant residential builds)

How to use
Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your switch, NAS, SAN, PoE injector, or network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain the gold-plated contact engagement. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and maintain bend radius within the rated limits to preserve performance. For PoE applications, verify that both the switch or injector and the powered device support the required PoE class and power budget.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use this Cat8 cable for short to medium runs up to 2 m in high-speed 25G/40GBASE-T environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and physical stress; if installing in permanent or concealed pathways, follow local building and fire-safety codes regarding LSZH cabling.
