White 6in CAT8 Ethernet cable with snagless RJ45 connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH NLWH6INCAT8PATCH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-28VR-G409Z

Short white Cat8 patch cable with snagless RJ45 plugs, 2000 MHz bandwidth, S/FTP shielding and 100 W PoE support for 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps links

  • Supports 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps speeds with 2000 MHz bandwidth
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during frequent patch-panel changes
  • S/FTP shielding and pure bare copper reduce crosstalk for reliable signal integrity
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen for safer indoor installations
  • Delivers up to 100 W PoE power alongside data on 26 AWG conductors

Run Patch Cable

This six-inch white Cat 8 patch cord is built for dense rack or patch-panel work where every centimetre counts. It supports 25 and 40 gigabit Ethernet over its 2000 MHz bandwidth and carries up to 100 watts of PoE power. The S/FTP shielding and pure bare copper conductors keep signal integrity tight in high-interference environments.

Cat 8 2000 MHz Rating

The 2000 MHz Cat 8 specification is the single figure that decides whether this cable matches the port speed you are running. It qualifies the link for 25G and 40G BASE-T, so anything slower will work but anything faster will not. If your switch or NIC tops out at 10G you still get full performance, just with unused headroom.

Snagless RJ45 Plugs

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated inserts and pulls in crowded cabinets. The 26 AWG stranded conductors make the cord flexible enough to route around cable managers without kinking. LSZH jacket material meets low-smoke requirements for plenum or riser spaces where building codes apply.

Questions about this item

What does the 2000 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed in a real network?

The 2000 MHz bandwidth supports the full Category 8 frequency range, allowing 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet signals to pass without loss over the rated distance.

How does the RJ45 connector limit the practical speed of this Cat 8 patch cord?

The RJ45 interface is the standard for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, so the connector itself does not cap the 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps rates this cable is built for.

What physical clearance does the snagless boot need to fit into a dense patch panel?

The snagless boot adds a small over-mould behind the RJ45 plug; allow a few millimetres extra depth behind the port so the latch can release without catching on adjacent cables.
