The JBX71882 Cat8 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the pinnacle of network connectivity technology. At just 1 foot in length, this compact yet powerful cable is perfect for patch panels, switch-to-switch connections, and short-run installations where space is premium and performance cannot be compromised. **Superior Shielding Technology**: The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides dual-layer protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Each pair is individually foiled, while an overall braid shield surrounds all four pairs, delivering maximum signal integrity even in challenging electrical environments. **Premium Conductor Quality**: Constructed with 24AWG oxygen-free copper conductors (>99.95% purity), this cable minimizes signal degradation and ensures consistent data transmission. The optimized conductor geometry meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 Category 8 standards for 40GB Ethernet performance. **Performance Specifications**: Supports data rates up to 40GB with a 6.5mm outside diameter for easy routing through cable trays and conduits. Operating temperature range of -20 to +75°C (-4 to 167°F) ensures reliable performance in diverse environments. **Professional-Grade Construction**: The snagless RJ45 connectors feature molded strain relief to prevent cable damage and accidental disconnection. Riser-rated OFNR jacketing provides fire safety compliance while the red outer jacket simplifies cable identification and management. **Compliance & Warranty**: Fully RoHS and ELV compliant, manufactured to EU directive 2002/95/EC standards. Every cable ships with a lifetime limited warranty, reflecting our confidence in product durability and quality. **Flexible Sourcing**: Available in custom lengths to meet your specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders over $99. Whether you're building a data center, upgrading network infrastructure, or setting up a professional workstation, the JBX71882 Cat8 cable delivers the reliability and performance your mission-critical applications demand.
