StarTech NLBL Series Ethernet Cable, 3M Cable Length, Blue Jacket - NLBL-3M-CAT8-PATCH
This ethernet cable provides a screened Cat8 connection for high-speed network links in professional environments. It is intended for short-range patching where reduced smoke emission during fire events and robust shielding are required, operating within typical indoor temperature ranges.
Features and Benefits:
• Supports 40GBASE-T performance enabling high-throughput transfers
• Screened S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Solid copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket decreases toxic emissions
• T568B wiring ensures compatibility with common termination standards
• 5.6mm outside diameter balances flexibility and durability
• Screened S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference
• Solid copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket decreases toxic emissions
• T568B wiring ensures compatibility with common termination standards
• 5.6mm outside diameter balances flexibility and durability
Applications
• Suitable for rack-to-switch connections in data centres
• Ideal for industrial automation network patching
• Used with test equipment for high-frequency signal validation
• Can be used for structured cabling in electrical control rooms
• Used for short-range links in mechanical systems monitoring

What temperature conditions can it tolerate during operation?
It operates reliably between 0°C and 50°C, accommodating typical indoor server rooms and plant floors.
What material ensures conductor performance and longevity?
Conductors are formed from solid copper, chosen for stable transmission and minimal attenuation over short patch runs.
How does the cable address fire-safety concerns in enclosed spaces?
The jacket is manufactured from a low smoke zero halogen compound, which limits smoke density and hazardous halogen emissions when exposed to fire.
What screening arrangement protects against crosstalk and external noise?
The cable uses an overall shield with individually screened pairs to provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference.
