Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 7 ft. (2.1 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-F07-WH is a Cat8 Ethernet cable designed to deliver ultra-fast data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps over a seven-foot length. It supports a signal bandwidth of 1200 MHz, making it ideal for high-demand applications such as connecting top-of-rack switches, servers, gaming consoles, and high-performance workstations. This cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to carry both data and power to compatible devices like wireless access points and security cameras, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

Key features

• Data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, providing four times the speed of Cat6a cables for demanding network environments
• Supports 1200 MHz bandwidth to ensure smooth handling of large file transfers, 4K video streaming, and virtual machine traffic without interruptions
• Power over Ethernet capability enables a single cable to deliver both power and data, reducing the need for additional power outlets
• SSTP shielding around each twisted pair and the overall cable bundle minimizes electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, maintaining signal integrity in crowded or electrically noisy environments
• RJ45 connectors feature snagless hoods that protect the latch during installation, preventing damage when pulling the cable through conduits or behind equipment
• White PVC jacket enhances cable visibility in patch panels and cable trays, making identification and troubleshooting easier
• Seven-foot length is well suited for desktop setups and rack patch runs, offering flexibility without excess cable clutter
