## Summary description

The StarTech.com 5m CAT8 Ethernet Cable features snagless RJ45 connectors, supports data rates up to 40Gbps, and is made with pure bare copper wire for optimal performance. Ideal for high-speed networking applications.

## Long description

The StarTech.com 5m CAT8 Ethernet Cable Snagless RJ45 25G 2000MHz provides a shielded, high-frequency connection for 25G/40G networks. This 5 m white Cat8 patch cable features snagless RJ-45 connectors and S/FTP (shielded and foiled twisted pair) construction with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors, delivering low resistance and minimal signal loss for reliable high-speed links. It is backward compatible with Cat6/6a and Cat5/5e and is Fluke channel tested to meet Category 8 performance.
Advantages
The cable supports up to 2000 MHz frequency and 25/40Gbps data rates while maintaining low electromagnetic interference through aluminum-mylar foil and tinned copper braid shielding on each pair. Gold-plated, snagless RJ-45 connectors rated for over 750 mating cycles ensure a secure fit and long connector life. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits low smoke and toxic fumes in the event of fire, and the cable tolerates -/+90-degree bends for routing in confined spaces. It also supports up to 100W PoE (PoE++) for powered devices.
Suitable for
High-density 25G/40GBASE-T switch connections
Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) links
Connections to SFP modules and high-speed uplinks
Power over Ethernet installations requiring up to 100W (PoE++)
Environments requiring LSZH-rated cabling (trains, aircraft, industrial or code-compliant buildings)

How to use
Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on your networking devices, such as 25G/40G switches, NAS, SAN or PoE-capable equipment. Route the cable using its flexible LSZH jacket and avoid sharp kinks; the cable supports -/+90-degree bends for tight runs. Ensure ports and devices support the required data rates and PoE power before powering connected devices.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this Cat8 cable within a channel or patching environment tested for Cat8 compliance and avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential EMI. Store and install the cable without exceeding its bend radius and verify connector seating for reliable long-term operation.
