Tripp Lite N272-040-WH

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-040-WH is a Cat8 Ethernet cable designed for high-speed networking environments requiring data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps and bandwidth support up to 2 GHz. This 40-foot cable is ideal for short-reach connections in data centers, offices, and studios where reliable, low-latency performance is essential for tasks like video editing, CAD design, and server interconnects.

Constructed with 22 AWG solid copper conductors and an S/FTP shielding design, it minimizes electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference to maintain consistent network performance. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing you to power devices such as wireless access points and PTZ cameras without additional power lines.

Key features

• Certified for Cat8 performance, ensuring data speeds up to 40 Gbps on 25G and 40G networks
• Bandwidth capacity up to 2 GHz to handle data-intensive applications with ease
• S/FTP shielding that protects each twisted pair and the entire cable from EMI and RFI, enhancing signal integrity
• PoE support enables combined data and power delivery over a single cable run, simplifying installations
• Snagless RJ45 connectors safeguard locking tabs during installation, reducing the risk of damage when pulling through conduits or patch panels
• 22 AWG solid copper conductors provide stable and low-loss signal transmission for reliable connectivity
• White PVC jacket improves cable visibility and organization in mixed-color cable bundles

• Supports Power over Ethernet for devices like wireless access points and PTZ cameras
• RJ45 connectors fit standard Ethernet ports on networking equipment

Ideal uses and environments

This cable fits well in data centers requiring short-distance, high-speed connections between critical network components. It also works effectively in professional offices and creative studios where large file transfers and low latency are important. The white jacket helps technicians quickly identify the cable among others, which is valuable in complex wiring setups.

Network administrators and IT professionals will appreciate the cable’s robust shielding and snagless connectors, which reduce installation challenges and maintain signal quality in electrically noisy environments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
