StarTech NLBL Series Ethernet Cable, 2m Cable Length, Blue Jacket - NLBL-2M-CAT8-PATCH
This ethernet cable provides a screened high-speed link for networked equipment in industrial and laboratory settings. It is intended for use where reduced-smoke, low-toxicity materials and robust copper conductors are required, connecting devices that demand high bandwidth and shielded transmission within controlled temperature environments.
Features and Benefits:
• Cat8-rated performance supports 40GBASE-T network speeds
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Solid copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket minimises toxic emissions
• Compatible with TIA/EIA T568B wiring for standard terminations
• Operates reliably between 0°C and 50°C
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Solid copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket minimises toxic emissions
• Compatible with TIA/EIA T568B wiring for standard terminations
• Operates reliably between 0°C and 50°C
Applications
• Suitable for rack-to-rack links in data centres requiring screened cable
• Ideal for automated test benches needing high-speed copper connections
• Used with industrial switches where LSZH materials are mandated
• Can be used for high-density network patching in electronics labs

What is the cable’s external thickness and how does that affect routing?
The cable has an outside diameter of 5.6mm which facilitates routing through standard cable management channels while maintaining sufficient insulation and shielding.
What conductor and screening combination is used for performance?
It uses solid copper conductors combined with an overall shielded design to provide stable transmission and reduced crosstalk for high-frequency signalling.
How does the jacket material influence installation in enclosed spaces?
The low smoke zero halogen jacket minimises toxic and corrosive gases during combustion, making it suitable for confined spaces where material emission control is required.
Which connectorisation standard should be used for consistent pin assignments?
Follow the TIA/EIA T568B wiring scheme to ensure correct pin mapping and interoperability with standard RJ45 terminations.
