CONTECH's Category 7 S/FTP cables exceed Category 7/ Class F specification maximizing the user’s return on investment, by extending the life of the system. It is tested to 600 MHz frequency range and designed to support 10 Gigabyte applications. S/FTP construction with individual foiled pair and an overall braid offering superior performance in terms of ACR.It supports all Ethernet applications up to 1000 Base-T and CATV applications upto 862 Mhz.
Applications:
- High-Speed Data Centers: 10G backbone cabling (future-proof for 25G/40G short-reach).
- Broadcast & Professional AV .
- Industrial Automation, Smart Factories & High-EMI Environments.
- High-Speed PoE++ (802.3bt) Applications
- Future-Proof Installations
Key Features:
- Cat 7 supports frequencies up to 750 MHz .
- Future-proof for emerging technologies like 10 Gbps over 100M and 25 Gbps over shorter distances.
- Each pair is individually shielded, and an overall shield reduces crosstalk and EMI (electromagnetic interference).
- Suitable for Power over Ethernet applications (PoE/PoE+/4PPoE) according to IEEE 802.3af, IEEE ,802.3at and 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++)up to 100W.
- The optional outer LSZH/LSFRZH jacket is flame-retardant and produces minimal smoke and zero halogen gases during combustion.
Standard:
- ISO/IEC 11801 Class F.
- EN 50173-1 & EN 50288-9-1.
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
- IEC 60332-1,2 (for LSZH),
- IEC 60332-3-24/25, (for LSFRZH),
- RoHS & CE
