Tripp Lite N272-F05-WH Cat8 Shielded Patch Cable 5 Feet

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N272-F05-WH is a Cat8 shielded patch cable designed for high-density structured cabling environments. Built with a single-strand configuration and SSTP (Screened Shielded Twisted Pair) construction, this cable provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference. At 5 feet in length, it is well suited for short patch runs in server rooms, data centers, and network equipment racks. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect switches, patch panels, and network interface equipment where signal integrity and shielding performance are required.

This patch cable is intended for enterprise-grade network installations where Cat8 performance is specified. Typical applications include cabinet-to-cabinet connections, top-of-rack switching deployments, and high-frequency structured cabling runs. The 5-foot length makes it practical for within-rack and adjacent-rack patching. The white jacket aids in cable identification and organization within patch panel installations.

Key Features

• Cat8 SSTP construction provides shielding against EMI and crosstalk
• 5-foot length suits short in-rack and panel-to-equipment patch runs
• White jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• Single-strand design for structured cabling patch point terminations
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat8-compatible network switches, patch panels, and RJ45 network interface equipment in enterprise structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians and structured cabling installers typically handle Cat8 patch cable deployments. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for termination and routing practices. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors to preserve shielding effectiveness. Verify that all connected equipment supports Cat8 or is backward compatible before installation.
