Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Black, 1 ft. (0.3 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-F01-BK is a Cat8 SSTP Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver high-speed data transfer at up to 40 Gbps with a bandwidth of 1200 MHz. This one-foot cable is ideal for short connections such as patch panels, switch-to-server links within the same rack, or test bench setups. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to transmit both power and data over a single cable, which simplifies installations and reduces clutter.

Constructed with 26 AWG copper pairs shielded individually with foil and wrapped in an overall braided shield, this cable effectively blocks electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The black PVC jacket provides durability and easy identification, while snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during installation in tight spaces.

Key features

• Supports 40 Gbps data transfer and 1200 MHz bandwidth for high-performance networking
• Power over Ethernet capability enables simultaneous power and data delivery to compatible devices
• Individual foil shielding and overall braided shield reduce interference for stable connections
• Snagless RJ45 connectors protect locking tabs during cable pulls, enhancing durability
• Compact one-foot length minimizes cable slack and is perfect for short rack or patch panel runs
• Black PVC jacket allows quick visual identification and protects the cable from physical damage

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with high-speed network equipment such as switches, storage arrays, and virtualized servers that require 40 Gbps throughput. Its PoE support makes it suitable for powering devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, and ceiling-mounted wireless access points without needing separate power cables. The RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports found in most networking hardware.

Ideal uses and environments

The short length and high performance of this cable make it a strong choice for data centers, small business networks, and home labs where space is limited and high-speed connections are essential. It fits well in rack-mounted setups where minimizing cable clutter is important and provides reliable, interference-resistant links in environments with potential electrical noise.
