DIGITUS cavo dati per installazione CAT7 S/FTP, duplex, 500 m, arancione, Cca

The Digitus CAT 7 S/FTP installation cable is a 500 m duplex cable designed for structured cabling in buildings and data centers. It supports 10 Gbit Ethernet and transmission frequencies up to 1200 MHz, is Permanent Link certified and compatible with PoE standards including PoE, PoE+ and 4PPoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt). The cable uses individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall tinned copper braid and an LSZH outer sheath classified as Cca according to EN 50575. Its construction and standards compliance make it suitable for analog and digital data transmission in line with ISO/IEC 11801 and related norms.

Advantages

The S/FTP design with foil-shielded pairs and full copper braid provides strong electromagnetic interference protection and stable electrical characteristics for high-speed data. The AWG 23 bare copper conductors and foamed polyethylene insulation ensure consistent signal integrity while the LSZH Cca outer sheath reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire. Support for PoE/PoE+/4PPoE allows simultaneous power and data delivery to powered devices.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling in commercial and industrial environments
• Data center horizontal and backbone links
• High-speed Ethernet networks up to 10 Gbit/s
• Installations requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, 4PPoE)

How to use

Install the Digitus Cat 7 cable as part of structured cabling following applicable installation standards. Route and fix the cable without exceeding the specified strain relief and respect the minimum bending radii during pulling and positioning. Terminate the individual shielded pairs using appropriate Cat7-compatible connectors or patch panels that preserve pair shielding and overall braid continuity. Use certified Permanent Link configurations where required for guaranteed performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, perform link certification after installation, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimise interference, and use suitable gland and grounding techniques to maintain shielding effectiveness. Observe the specified temperature ranges during installation and operation.
