Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Black, 5 ft. (1.5 m)

The Tripp Lite N272-F05-BK is a Category 8 Ethernet patch cable that links network devices at speeds up to 40 Gbps across its five-foot length. It fits the rack that needs a rapid backbone between switches and servers, and it serves just as well in a home lab where large game files or media projects move back and forth without delay.

The cable supports Power over Ethernet, so a single run can carry data and power to ceiling cameras, wireless access points, or other PoE devices. This removes the need for separate power wiring and streamlines installations in spots that are tough to reach.

An SSTP design, which combines individually shielded pairs with an overall foil braid, keeps electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from disturbing the signal. You get reliable throughput even when the cable shares tight spaces with power lines or other sources of noise.

Each end features an RJ45 plug with a snagless boot that shields the latch, preventing it from catching on ports or cable trays during pulls. A PVC jacket that is black and abrasion resistant stands up to everyday handling and remains visible among lighter colored cables when it is time to trace a connection. Tripp Lite backs the cable with a limited lifetime warranty for added confidence.
