The JBX71649 CAT8 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the pinnacle of network cable engineering, designed specifically for organizations that demand maximum performance and reliability from their network infrastructure. At 7 feet in length, this cable provides the optimal balance between connectivity flexibility and cable management efficiency. Superior Shielding Technology: The S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) design incorporates both overall shield and individual foil wrapping around each twisted pair, delivering exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This dual-layer shielding is particularly valuable in environments with heavy electrical equipment, wireless systems, or other potential sources of signal degradation. Exceptional Conductor Quality: Constructed with >99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable ensures minimal signal loss and maximum conductivity. The 26AWG gauge provides the optimal balance between flexibility and signal integrity, while the high copper purity guarantees long-term reliability and performance consistency. Certification & Compliance: Fully compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 Category 8 standards, this cable meets or exceeds industry requirements for high-speed data transmission. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC certifications confirm environmental responsibility and safe manufacturing practices. The OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing allows for installation in vertical cable runs between floors while maintaining safety standards. Performance Specifications: • Supports up to 40GB/s data transmission rates • Operating temperature range: -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F) • 6.0mm outside diameter ensures compatibility with standard cable management • Straight-through polarity configuration for standard network applications • RJ45 to RJ45 connection standard Ideal Applications: Perfect for data centers, server installations, network infrastructure upgrades, high-frequency trading environments, multimedia production facilities, and any installation requiring maximum network performance. The snagless connector design prevents accidental disconnection and damage during installation. Customization & Availability: Available in custom lengths for specialized installations. Ships from multiple distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensuring fast delivery.
