Horizontal Cabling
Category 7 4PR S/FTP Cable
General Info
The S/FTP AWG23 cable is designed for applications up to 600 MHz and provides transmission performance meeting Category 7 specifications ISO/IEC 11801 (2002) and EN 50173-1 (2002). Likewise it is suitable for the transmission of digital data signals for future applications to 10Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE) in accordance with IEEE 802.3an. These cables are low skew products, i.e. the difference in propagation delay between the individual pairs is very low. This is increasingly being requested for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The suitability of the cable for high-bit-rate transmission systems ensures a high degree of future proofing. Additional features are the slim design and low weight of the cables. Each pair is individually shielded with foil (FTP). The twisted pairs are additionally enclosed as a group in a braided shield (S/FTP) to provide superior shielding performance. The cable thus exceeds the requirements for EN 55022 Class B emission and EN 55024 immunity, enabling networks to be built which are compliant with the standards on electromagnetic compatibility.
- Product Description: Category 7 4PR S/FTP Cable
- Product Number: 7053 3 762-55
- Application: Horizontal Cabling
- Length: 1000m
- Colour: Orange
Features
- Specified up to 600 MHz
- Outstanding electrical characteristics
- Wire colours: white/blue, white/orange, white/green, white/brown
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
- Flame retardant to IEC 60332-1 and EN 50266-2-1
- Non corrosive to IEC 60754-2 and EN 50267
- Low smoke to IEC 61034 and EN 50268
- Each pair is wrapped with a metal foil (PimF) and all of the pairs are screened with tinned copper wire; this level of protectionrnensures error free data transmission even in harsh environments
- The shielding eliminates alien crosstalk allowing more cables to be bundled close together
- Smaller nominal diameter than unshielded Category 6 A cable allows for a higher number of cables in a run
