The JBX71466 Cat8 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the pinnacle of network connectivity technology for professional-grade installations. This 4-foot premium cable is specifically engineered to handle the demanding requirements of modern data centers, server farms, and enterprise networking infrastructure. **Superior Shielding Technology** The S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Each twisted pair is individually foiled, and an additional shield surrounds all pairs, ensuring maximum signal integrity and data transmission reliability. This advanced shielding makes the cable ideal for installations near power lines or in electrically noisy environments. **Exceptional Data Transmission Capabilities** With support for 40GB data rates, this Cat8 cable future-proofs your network investment. It exceeds Cat6A specifications and supports the latest high-bandwidth applications including 4K video streaming, cloud computing, and real-time data processing. **Premium Conductor Materials** The 26AWG oxygen-free copper conductors (>99.95% purity) provide superior electrical conductivity and durability. This high-quality construction ensures consistent performance and longer cable lifespan compared to standard alternatives. **Practical Design Features** The snagless RJ45 connectors feature strain relief boots that prevent accidental disconnection and protect pins from damage during installation. The 6mm diameter provides optimal balance between flexibility and durability, facilitating easier cable routing through conduits and wall penetrations. **Commercial-Grade Compliance** The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing is suitable for commercial installations and meets fire safety standards. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC certification ensures environmental compliance and safety. **Technical Specifications:** • Length: 4 feet (1.2 meters) • Category: Cat8 (ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 compliant) • AWG: 26 gauge • Shielding: S/FTP • Data Rate: 40GB • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +75°C • Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 (Straight Through) • Outer Diameter: 6mm • Compliance: RoHS, EU directive certified • Warranty: Lifetime Limited Warranty **Custom Length Availability** Require a different length?
