Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Black, 2 ft. (0.6 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-F02-BK is a Cat8 Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission over short distances, specifically two feet. It supports data rates up to 40 Gbps and offers 1200 MHz bandwidth, making it well suited for demanding network tasks such as 4K video streaming, large backups, and virtual machine migrations. Its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability allows it to deliver both data and power through a single cable, ideal for devices installed where power outlets are not easily accessible.

Key features

• Supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer for ultra-fast network connections over short runs
• 1200 MHz bandwidth ensures smooth data flow during high-traffic operations without bottlenecks
• Power over Ethernet compatibility enables powering devices like wireless access points and IP cameras without separate power cables
• SSTP shielding protects against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments
• Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent locking tab damage when pulling cables through tight spaces or bundles
• Durable black PVC jacket resists daily wear and helps with quick cable identification in complex setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device that supports RJ45 connections and Cat8 standards, including switches, routers, servers, and networked devices requiring PoE. Its short length and high performance make it ideal for connecting rack-mounted equipment or devices in tight spaces where minimal slack is necessary.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable works well in professional IT environments, data centers, and network closets where high-speed connections over short distances are critical. Its shielding and PoE support make it a strong choice for installations near power supplies, fluorescent lighting, or industrial machinery, as well as for powering ceiling-mounted or pole-mounted network devices without nearby power outlets.
