Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 1 ft. (0.3 m)

The Tripp Lite N272-F01-WH is a Category 8 Ethernet patch cable that helps network teams move data quickly and cleanly in crowded racks or workstations. It supports transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and a bandwidth ceiling of 1200 MHz, so servers, storage arrays, and high-resolution video streams can run without bottlenecks. Because Cat8 works at four times the speed of Cat6a, it is a straightforward upgrade for data centers that need more headroom without replacing active equipment.

The cable uses individually shielded twisted pairs inside an overall shield, a design often called SSTP. This construction fights electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency noise that can creep in near power lines, industrial machinery, or densely packed switches. By keeping interference out, it helps connected devices maintain signal integrity, extend port life, and avoid the retransmissions that slow a network down.

Power over Ethernet compatibility lets the same run of copper deliver both data and up to 100 W of power to devices such as PoE switches, wireless access points, and security cameras. This simplifies installation in ceilings, kiosks, or remote corners where power outlets are scarce.

Snagless boots guard the RJ45 locking tabs, so the cable slides out of a patch panel without catching on neighboring ports. The one-foot length is ideal for top-of-rack connections or for grouping gear inside a wall-mounted enclosure, and a PVC jacket that is durable and white makes it easy to identify short links at a glance.

• Category 8 rating supports 40 Gbps data transfer and 1200 MHz bandwidth
• Power over Ethernet readiness supplies data and power through one cable
• SSTP design with individual pair shielding controls EMI and RFI
• Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during moves or re-cabling
• One foot length and white jacket simplify patching in tight network spaces
