Cavo di rete Metz Connect 1308427B34145 Cat7a S/FTP blu 100m

The Metz Connect 1308427B34145 Cat7a S/FTP Blue 100m is a structured networking cable designed for high-performance data transmission in professional and enterprise environments. Built to Cat7a specification with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction, this 100-metre cable provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The blue jacket gives a clear visual identification in cabling infrastructures and is suitable for horizontal runs, patch panels and backbone connections where high bandwidth and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This Cat7a S/FTP cable offers a combination of high bandwidth capacity and robust shielding to support demanding network applications. The S/FTP design, with an overall shield and individually foiled pairs, reduces external noise and pair-to-pair interference, improving signal stability over longer distances. The 100 m length allows for flexible installation without frequent splicing, and the standardized cable geometry supports reliable performance with compatible connectors and components.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet installations
• Server rooms and data centres requiring shielded cabling
• Backbone and horizontal network runs in offices and commercial buildings
• Applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference (industrial environments, near power lines)
• Patch panels and structured cabling systems

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 100 m
• Colour: Blue
• Conductor arrangement: Twisted pairs
• Application: Structured cabling for high-speed Ethernet

How to use

Run the cable following standard cabling practices: plan the route, avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and maintain correct bend radius as recommended for Cat7a cabling. Terminate the cable with compatible shielded connectors and ensure the shield continuity is maintained by connecting shields to grounded panels or connector housings. Test the installed links using a suitable network tester to verify performance and identify any faults before putting the link into service.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded patch panels and shielded RJ45 connectors designed for Cat7a cabling, and ensure proper grounding of the cable shield. Avoid running the cable in close parallel to high-voltage power lines and use dedicated cable trays or conduits in industrial environments.
