StarTech.com NLWH Cat8 Ethernet Cable, 15 m, S/FTP Screened, White Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech NLWH Series Ethernet Cable, 15m Cable Length, White - NLWH-15M-CAT8-PATCH

This ethernet cable provides high-speed screened connectivity for enterprise and dense installations. It supports 25/40Gbps links over a shielded four-pair S/FTP construction and is sheathed in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket suitable for confined or poorly ventilated spaces. The cable is intended for use with 40GBASE-T hardware, delivering both data and up to 100W PoE++ power while maintaining stable transmission characteristics across demanding environments.

Features and Benefits:

• 2000MHz frequency for increased throughput and reduced congestion
  26AWG Pure bare copper for low resistance and consistent conductivity
  S/FTP shielding with Al-mylar and braid for enhanced EMI protection
  50μ gold-plated RJ45 connectors minimise wear across insertions
  LSZH jacket limits smoke and toxic emissions in fires

Applications

• Suitable for high-density data centre switch interconnects
  Used with 40GBASE-T switches and copper SFP modules
  Ideal for powering PoE++ access points and IP cameras
  Used for NAS and SAN copper connectivity in racks

What conductor type is used and why is it chosen?

It uses 26AWG solid Pure bare copper conductors which provide low resistance and stable signal performance across varying temperatures.

How is electromagnetic interference addressed in the cable design?

Each twisted pair is individually foil screened and the overall cable has a tinned-copper braid to improve EMI rejection in noisy environments.

What are the operating and storage temperature limits?

The cable operates between 0°C and 50°C and can be stored between -20°C and 60°C.

How is performance verification performed for each unit?

Every cable is tested individually using a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser to confirm conformance to Cat8 parameters.

Which wiring standard and PoE specification does it support?

It follows TIA/EIA-T568B wiring and supports PoE++ power delivery up to 100W in line with IEEE 802.3bt.
