The StarTech.com 3m White CAT8 Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 25G/40G, 2000MHz, 100W PoE++, S/FTP, 26AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire, LSZH, Shielded Network Patch Cord w/Strain Reliefs,… connects reliably to high-speed 25/40G networks. It is designed for UK data centres, studios, and dense office racks. The key USP is verified 40 Gbps throughput with 100W PoE++ in a low-smoke LSZH jacket.

Slim Specifications

Certified 40 Gigabit Performance

This cable meets the TIA/EIA-T568B certification. It supports 40GBase-T networking standards. Because it is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, it maintains stable signal transmission. You can use it for 25G/40G switches and SFP modules.

Reliable PoE++ Power Delivery

The cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a 100W budget. It powers access points, IP cameras, and switches reliably. Pure bare copper conductors minimise resistance. So, you get consistent power delivery over the full 3-metre run.

Enhanced Shielding and EMI Protection

S/FTP construction uses foil and braid shielding on every pair. This design protects against electromagnetic interference in busy racks. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion. In practice, this reduces signal loss and maintains data integrity.

LSZH Safety and Flexibility

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket emits minimal toxic fumes. It is safer for confined spaces and UK building compliance. The cable handles -/+90-degree bends. Also, the snagless boots protect connectors during frequent mating.
