Cat.8 S/FTP 26 AWG Stranded Patch Cord
RJ45 Cat8 Shielded Foiled 26 AWG 8P8C Patch Cable
Cat.8 SFTP stranded patch cord provides 25Gbps data speed and 2GHz bandwidth at a link length of 30 meters. The PoE++ connector is GHMT Channel (30m) Category 8.1 Approval Type. The ethernet cable can deliver both data and power through the balanced twisted pair cable. The shielded balanced twisted pairs have the ability to significantly reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk (AXT). The shielding makes a cleaner signal to optimize the data speed for highly demanding data centers.

GHMT Verified and Fluke Tested Cat8.1 Channel Performance
Tested in GHMT field-testing lab, the Category 8.1 ethernet cable is set up to be used in the most bandwidth-intensive enterprise data centers and edge data centers that require low-latency data transfer. The cable bandwidth of Category 8 balanced twisted pair copper cabling is field tested from 1MHz to 2,000MHz (2GHz). Cat8 cabling is tested under a stricter setting and a higher standard than Category 6A structured copper cabling, which is only tested from 1MHz to 500MHz. The CAT8 shielded stranded ethernet cable is GHMT certified and tested under a 30 m (98 ft) Channel configuration. It is also tested with the Fluke DSX-8000 cable tester. It passes the CAT8.1 Channel performance and specifications.
PoE++ RJ45 Patch Cords Compliant With IEC 60512-99-002:2022
High bandwidth and high power given by a PoE++ RJ45 ethernet cable come in handy when you have a powered device (PD) installed in places that are further away from the power source and difficult to acquire power. Two Category 8 connectors with a PoE++ RJ45 stranded cable provide both data and power through all 4 pairs of the balanced twisted pairs. Compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 and IEC 60512-99-002:2022 standards, the network cable can deliver up to 90 watts of power. It can power LED lighting, wireless access points (WAPs), IP cameras, and VoIP phones while it transfers data signals with just one cable. You do not have to have a network engineer to run data through your cables and hire an electrician to run power that costs money. With PoE++, you can do everything on one cable.
