Tripp Lite N272-F01-BL Cat8 Shielded Patch Cable 1 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N272-F01-BL is a Cat8 single shielded twisted pair (S/STP) patch cable designed for high-speed structured wiring applications. At 1 foot in length and finished in blue, this cable provides a short-run interconnect solution for patch panels, switches, and network equipment in data center and enterprise environments. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense equipment rack deployments where cable runs are closely bundled. Licensed network technicians and data center installers rely on this cable for clean, organized front-of-rack patching.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in enterprise data centers, server rooms, and high-density switching environments where Cat8 bandwidth headroom is required. Its 1-foot length makes it ideal for direct connections between adjacent rack-mounted equipment, minimizing excess cable management overhead. The blue jacket aids in color-coded port identification, a common practice in structured cabling installations.

Key Features

• Cat8 rated for high-frequency, high-bandwidth structured cabling applications
• Single shielded twisted pair (S/STP) construction reduces electromagnetic interference in dense rack environments
• 1-foot length suited for short patch runs between adjacent rack-mounted equipment
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable management and port identification
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable compatible with Cat8, Cat7, Cat6A, and backward-compatible RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed network technicians or qualified data center professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure both termination points are powered down or that hot-swap procedures are followed per site policy before disconnecting active links. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius to maintain shielding integrity. Verify that shielded cable terminations are bonded to a common ground at both ends to realize full EMI rejection benefits.
