Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Blue, 5 ft. (1.5 m)

The Tripp Lite N272-F05-BL is a Category 8 Ethernet cable that moves data at up to 40 Gbps while supporting 1200 MHz bandwidth. It is designed for short, high-demand links where every bit of throughput matters, such as connections between top-of-rack switches, servers, storage arrays, or any workstation that handles large files, virtual machines, or high-definition video.

This cable is also ready for Power over Ethernet, so devices like wireless access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones can receive both power and data through one run. By removing the need for separate power wiring, PoE makes installations cleaner and often less expensive.

SSTP shielding surrounds the conductors with both foil and braid, helping block electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise that can appear near power lines, HVAC equipment, or crowded patch panels. The result is a steadier signal and fewer retransmissions.

Each end features a snagless RJ45 plug that protects the latch while you fish the cable through racks or cable managers. A blue PVC jacket makes the cable easy to trace in busy environments, and the 5 ft length is well-suited for rack-to-rack or desktop-to-switch runs without creating extra slack.

Like many Tripp Lite cables, the N272-F05-BL carries a lifetime limited warranty, giving network teams added confidence when they choose it for critical links.
