CAT 7 Outdoor Network Cable for Clean Network Connections
General Information: The CAT 7 Outdoor Network Cable is a high-quality installation (solid) cable for setting up high-performance network connections. It is a CAT 7 cable featuring a pure copper inner conductor, S/FTP shielding, and a LSZH halogen-free outer jacket. Depending on the selected variant, the cable is available in different lengths and comes with the matching number of CAT 7 network connectors.
Function: The cable is designed for high transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps or 10000Mbps. The data frequency rate is up to max. 1000MHz. Stable data transmission is supported by the double S/FTP shielding, which consists of aluminum foil pairs and a tinned copper braid as overall shielding. The cable is compatible with IEEE 802.3, WLAN networks, 10/100/1000Base-T, 10GBase-T, PoE, PoE+, and PoE++.
Application: The CAT 7 installation cable is intended for LSA connections and is suitable for network installations with network sockets, patch panels, Keystone modules, network plugs, and network cabinets. It can be used in both residential and industrial areas where a structured LAN cabling system with high transmission performance needs to be established. Important installation note: This is a rigid installation (solid) cable for LSA connections and not a cable meant for crimping.
Material: The inner conductor is made of pure copper with 4x2 wires. The wire inner conductor diameter is Ø0.56mm AWG23. The conductor structure is Twisted Pair with 4 wire pairs. The pair colors are green + white, brown + white, orange + white, and blue + white. The second wire in the pair is solid white, which is typical for installation cables. The outer jacket is made of LSZH halogen-free material. The outer diameter is Ø7.2mm.
Technical Specifications: Technically, the cable is structured as a CAT 7 installation cable with S/FTP shielding. The shielding consists of 0.025mm PIMF aluminum foil pairs and a tinned copper braid as overall shielding. The data frequency rate reaches up to max. 1000MHz, and the supported speed is up to 10Gbps or 10000Mbps. The DC resistance is 68Ohm/km, the impedance is @100MHz - 100Ohm, and the coupling attenuation is 85dB. The operating voltage is 125V, the NVP value is 78-80%, and the temperature range is -20° to +60°. The fire protection class is Cca s1a d1 a1 according to EN 50575:2014. Standards mentioned also include ISO IEC 11801-1, ISO IEC 61156-5, EN 50575:2014, EN 50290-2-23, EN 50290-2-27, EN 60332-1-2, EN 60754-1/2, and EN 61034-2, as well as RoHS and CE.
The CAT 7 network plug features a fully shielded die-cast zinc housing, gold-plated contacts, and a robust screwable strain relief. It is designed for AWG22-26, cable diameters of 6-7.5mm, and insulated wire diameters of 1.35-1.5mm. Pin assignment is possible according to T568A and T568B. No special tools are required for assembly, apart from wire strippers.
Conclusion: The CAT 7 Outdoor Network Cable is a suitable solution for structured LAN installations requiring high transmission performance. It combines pure copper, an AWG23 inner conductor, S/FTP shielding, a LSZH jacket, and CAT 7 network plugs in selectable variants. This allows you to choose the right length and the required number of network connectors depending on your installation needs.
