The JBX71797 CAT8 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Network Cable represents the pinnacle of network infrastructure cabling, engineered for environments demanding maximum performance and reliability. This 5ft green cable is purpose-built to support the latest high-speed network requirements with 40GB data rate capability, making it essential for modern data centers, enterprise networks, and professional installations. **Superior Shielding Technology:** The S/FTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) design provides exceptional electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) protection. Each pair is individually foiled, while an overall shield wraps the entire cable assembly. This dual-layer shielding approach ensures signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments, preventing data corruption and transmission delays. **Premium Conductor Construction:** Crafted from >99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable delivers exceptional electrical properties and longevity. The 24AWG gauge provides optimal balance between flexibility and signal quality, while the 6.5mm outer diameter accommodates standard cable routing and management systems. **Professional-Grade Design:** Snagless RJ45 connectors feature protective tabs that prevent accidental disconnection during installation and maintenance. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing ensures safe installation in vertical cable runs between floors without flame spread risks. **Compliance & Standards:** Fully compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 Category 8 standards, RoHS, and EU Directive 2002/95/EC. Supports straight-through wiring configuration for standard network connections. **Ideal Applications:** • Data center infrastructure • Server room cabling • High-speed network switches • Enterprise backbone connections • Future-proofed network installations • Professional AV installations **Operating Specifications:** Temperature range from -20°C to +75°C accommodates diverse installation environments. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this cable represents a long-term investment in network reliability. **Custom Availability:** While this 5ft configuration is ready to ship with free standard shipping on orders over $99, custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. Multi-unit purchases ship from strategically located facilities in California, Texas, and South Carolina for faster delivery.
