Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, LSZH, Blue, 0.5 m (1.6 ft.)

The Tripp Lite N272L-F0P5M-BL is a Category 8 Ethernet patch cable built for network teams that refuse to compromise on speed or reliability. Rated for 40 Gbps throughput and up to 1200 MHz of bandwidth, it keeps data flowing smoothly whether you are mirroring servers, moving large media files, or driving virtual machines in real time. At 0.5 meters in length, it is the right size for short, tidy links between adjacent switches, patch panels, or high-performance workstations.

The cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet, so you can run both data and power to devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, and security cameras without adding extra power lines. This is especially useful in ceilings, walls, or remote racks where power outlets are scarce.

An SSTP construction shields each twisted pair and the overall cable, helping block electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise that can appear in crowded wiring trays or near heavy-duty electrical gear. The blue jacket uses low-smoke, zero-halogen material, meeting safety requirements for enclosed spaces while also giving installers an easy way to color-code links.

Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the latch during pulls and rerouting, reducing the chance of broken connectors during upgrades or maintenance. Because the cable follows ANSI/TIA standards, it connects seamlessly with existing Cat6a, Cat6, or Cat5e hardware, letting you mix new and legacy equipment as your network evolves.

Whether you run a data center, an enterprise wiring closet, a production studio, or a high-end gaming setup at home, this cable offers the low latency and high stability you need, right out of the package.

• Supports 40 Gbps data rates and 1200 MHz bandwidth, four times faster than Cat6a
• PoE ready for powering cameras, phones, and access points through the same cable
• SSTP shielding helps prevent EMI and RFI from degrading signal quality
• Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during installation and maintenance
• Blue LSZH jacket provides fire-safety benefits and easy port identification
• Short 0.5 m length keeps patch panels and switch racks neat and uncluttered
