3 ft CAT8 Patch Cable

The StarTech NLBL-3F-CAT8-PATCH is a three-foot Category 8 patch cable built with S/FTP shielding and 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors. Gold-plated RJ45 plugs feature snagless boots and the jacket uses LSZH material. It is rated for 2000 MHz bandwidth and carries up to 100 W PoE++.

Enterprise Links and High-Density Racks

This cable suits installers who need 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps connections in dense racks or data-centre rows where low-smoke halogen-free jackets are required. Buyers who need longer runs for campus or building backbone links should look at something else because the fixed three-foot length limits reach.

2000 MHz Bandwidth Rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 2000 MHz bandwidth rating, which qualifies the cord for Category 8 performance at 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps. Verify that your switch and NIC ports operate at those speeds before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat8 cable work with my existing Cat6a patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes, the Cat8 cable is backward compatible and will operate at the speed of your Cat6a panel and gigabit switch.

How can I verify the 2000MHz bandwidth and 25/40Gbps capability after installation?

Use a certified cable analyser to test the link; it should report Cat8/Class I performance up to 2000MHz.

Does the 3ft patch cord include the snagless boots and is the LSZH jacket pre-terminated on both ends?

The cable arrives with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and snagless boots already fitted on both ends; nothing extra is required.
