Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, LSZH, Blue, 1 m (3.3 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272L-F01M-BL is a Category 8 Ethernet cable designed to deliver high-speed data transmission up to 40 Gbps with support for frequencies reaching 1200 MHz. This cable is ideal for connecting switches, servers, and other backbone network devices where fast and reliable communication is essential. Its 1-meter length makes it perfect for short, neat connections in racks or network closets, while the blue LSZH jacket ensures easy identification and safety in environments requiring low smoke and zero halogen materials.

Key features

• Supports 40 Gbps data transfer rates to handle demanding network traffic without bottlenecks
• 1200 MHz bandwidth capacity enables high-density network environments to operate smoothly
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability allows powering compatible devices like security cameras and access points without separate power cables
• Shielded with SSTP (Screened Shielded Twisted Pair) construction to minimize electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining signal integrity
• Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tab during installation, preventing damage when pulling through conduits or patch panels
• Blue LSZH jacket provides clear visual identification and complies with safety standards for low smoke and zero halogen emissions
• Compact 1-meter length keeps cable runs tidy and helps maintain proper airflow in network racks

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device that supports RJ45 connections and can benefit from Cat8 performance, including modern switches, servers, and PoE-enabled devices. Its shielding and construction make it well suited for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference, such as data centers and crowded network racks.

Installation and setup

The snagless RJ45 connectors simplify installation by protecting the locking tabs from damage during cable pulls through tight spaces or behind patch panels. The 1-meter length is ideal for short patch runs, reducing cable clutter and helping maintain airflow in racks, which is important for equipment cooling and longevity.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable fits well in professional IT environments where high-speed, low-latency connections are critical. It is a strong choice for data centers, server rooms, and network backbones that require both fast data transfer and PoE support. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for use in spaces with strict fire safety regulations, such as commercial buildings and educational facilities.
