Tripp Lite N272-F03-BL

Overview

The Tripp Lite N272-F03-BL is a Cat8 Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 40 Gbps data transfer over a short 3-foot (0.9 m) length. It is ideal for connecting high-throughput devices such as switches, servers, and network storage in data centers or enterprise network closets. With a bandwidth rating of 1200 MHz, this cable supports demanding applications like high-resolution video streaming, real-time backups, and low-latency audio transmission.

Key features

• Cat8 specification enables ultra-fast data speeds up to 40 Gbps for high-performance networking
• SSTP shielding combines foil and braid around each twisted pair to minimize electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring cleaner signal transmission
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows simultaneous delivery of data and power, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installations for devices like security cameras and VoIP phones
• Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during installation, preventing damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces
• Blue jacket color makes it easy to identify and trace connections in dense network racks or equipment rooms
• Compact 3-foot length keeps patch runs neat and reduces excess cable slack in tight setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, servers, and PoE-enabled devices. Its Cat8 rating ensures backward compatibility with lower category standards while providing the highest speeds and shielding for modern network infrastructures.

Ideal uses and environments

The Tripp Lite Cat8 cable is well suited for short patch runs in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network closets where high-speed, low-latency connections are critical. It also works effectively for powering PoE devices on desktops or ceiling mounts, helping maintain clean and organized cabling in professional IT 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.
