Tripp Lite Cat8 40G Snagless SSTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Black, 3 ft. (0.9 m)

The Tripp Lite N272-F03-BK is a Cat8 Ethernet cable designed for installers and power users who refuse to let cabling slow down their network. At just three feet long, it fits neatly between devices that sit close together, such as a top-of-rack switch and a server, a router and a workstation, or a patch panel and a PoE-powered access point.

This cable is rated for 40 Gbps throughput and carries up to 1200 MHz of bandwidth. That level of performance keeps large backups, 4K video streams, and latency-sensitive voice traffic moving smoothly, making it a practical choice for data centers, post-production suites, and engineering labs.

Because it supports Power over Ethernet, the cable can deliver both data and power to devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. This simplifies installation work by removing the need for separate power lines, which can be especially useful in ceiling runs or other hard-to-reach spots.

Each end features an RJ45 plug with a snagless hood that protects the locking tab when you pull the cable through crowded racks. Full SSTP shielding surrounds the conductors, blocking EMI and RFI that can creep in from nearby power cables or high-density equipment. A black PVC jacket offers everyday durability and helps you spot the Cat8 link quickly during maintenance.

Backed by Tripp Lite’s lifetime limited warranty, the N272-F03-BK gives network teams a dependable, forward-looking patch cable they can drop in today and count on for years to come.
