## Summary description

The StarTech.com 3m CAT8 Ethernet Cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, supports 25G/40G data transfer rates, and is made with pure bare copper wire for optimal performance. Ideal for high-speed networking applications, it is shielded and tested for reliability.

## Long description

StarTech.com CAT8 Ethernet Cable 3m Snagless RJ45 25G 40G 2000MHz is a 3 m shielded network patch cord designed for 25G/40GBASE-T environments. The snagless RJ45 connectors and S/FTP (4-pair shielded and foiled twisted pair) construction with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors provide improved conductivity, low resistance and sustained signal integrity up to a 2000 MHz maximum frequency. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket in white and is Fluke channel tested for Cat8 performance.
Advantages
The cable supports high data rates (25G/40G) and higher throughput than Cat6a thanks to its 2000 MHz frequency rating. Shielded S/FTP construction with aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid around each pair reduces electromagnetic interference, while pure bare copper conductors deliver consistent electrical properties and minimal signal loss. Snagless, 50-micro gold-plated RJ45 connectors are rated for extended mating cycles and the LSZH jacket offers flame-retardant, low-smoke behavior for installations where reduced toxic emissions are required.
Suitable for
Connecting 25G/40G switches and network devices
High-density 25G/40GBASE-T server and switch racks
Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) links
Power over Ethernet (PoE++) delivery up to 100W to devices such as access points and IP cameras
Environments requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling (trains, aircraft, certain industrial or residential installations)

Brand / MPN / EAN: StarTech / NLWH-3M-CAT8-PATCH / 0065030898577
How to use
Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your switches, servers or devices. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and maintain bend radii appropriate for ethernet patch cords; the cable is rated to withstand ±90-degree bends but should not be sharply kinked. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected equipment to ensure 25G or 40G operation where supported. For PoE devices, confirm power sourcing equipment supports the required PoE++ power levels.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this Cat8 cable in short-range, high-speed links within data centers or equipment racks. Combine with compatible shielded connectors and grounded infrastructure to preserve EMI protection; avoid routing alongside high-voltage power runs without proper separation.
