Tripp Lite Cat8 25G/40G-Certified Snagless Shielded S/FTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 40 ft. (12.19 m), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-040-WH is a Cat8 Ethernet cable designed for high-speed networking environments requiring data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and bandwidth support up to 2 GHz. This 40-foot cable is ideal for short-reach connections in data centers, offices, and studios where reliable, low-latency performance is essential for tasks like video editing, CAD design, and server interconnects.

Constructed with 22 AWG solid copper conductors and an S/FTP shielding design, it minimizes electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference to maintain consistent network performance. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing you to power devices such as wireless access points and PTZ cameras without additional power lines.

Key features

• Certified for Cat8 performance, ensuring data speeds up to 40 Gbps on 25G and 40G networks
• Bandwidth capacity up to 2 GHz to handle data-intensive applications with ease
• S/FTP shielding that protects each twisted pair and the entire cable from EMI and RFI, enhancing signal integrity
