6 ft Cat8 shielded patch cord

The Tripp Lite N272-006-WH is a 6 ft Cat8 S/FTP Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is certified for 40 Gbps networks and designed to connect 25G and 40G equipment in high-performance environments. The white PVC jacket aids quick identification in dense racks or workstations.

Suited for 40GBase-T links and PoE gear

This cable serves installers who need a certified Cat8 patch cord for short 25G or 40G connections and want Power over Ethernet support to avoid separate power runs. Builders who require longer runs beyond the certified short reach or who need a different cable category should look at other options.

Certified 40 Gbps Cat8 rating

The decisive specification is the Cat8 certification at 40 Gbps, which confirms the cable meets the performance standard for 40GBase-T data centre links. Without this certification the cable cannot guarantee the required throughput for 25G or 40G equipment.

Questions about this item

Is the 6 ft length the only option for this Cat8 cable?

The listed model N272-006-WH is a 6 ft Cat8 patch cord; other lengths would carry different part numbers.

What does the 40 Gbps rating mean for my 40GBase-T hardware?

The cable is certified for 40 Gbps networks, so it will carry full 40GBase-T throughput between compatible switches, servers or NICs.

Does the S/FTP shielding and RJ45 connector limit the speed in any way?

The shielded S/FTP construction and snagless RJ45 plugs are designed to meet Cat8 specifications, so they do not cap the 40 Gbps rating.
