CONTECH's Category 7A S/FTP cables exceed Category 7A/ Class FA specification, maximizing the user’s return on investment, by extending the life of the system. It is tested to 1000 MHZ frequency range and designed to support Broadband CATV and other 10 Gigabyte applications.
Applications:
- Ultra-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 7A supports frequencies up to 1000 MHz .
- Future-proof for emerging technologies like 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps over shorter distances.
- S-FTP: 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.
- Optional Outer Jacket LSZH/LSFRZH Compound provide Maximum Safety & Performance for High-Risk Environments.
Standard:
- ISO/IEC 11801 Class FA.
- EN 50173-1 & EN 50288-9-1.
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
- IEEE 802.3,
- IEC 61156-5.
- IEC 60332-1,2 (for LSZH & FRNC),
- IEC 60332-3-24/25, (for LSFRZH),
- RoHS & CE
