CAT 7 Outdoor Network Cable with CAT 7 Network Connectors for Clean Network Connections
General Information: The CAT 7 Outdoor network cable is a high-quality installation cable for building high-performance network connections. It is a CAT 7 cable with a pure copper inner conductor (solid), S/FTP shielding and a PE outer jacket that is UV-, weather- and moisture-resistant. Depending on the selected variant, the cable is available in different lengths and is supplied as a set with CAT 7 network connectors.
Function: The cable is designed for high transmission speeds of up to 10Gbit/s or 10000MBit/s. The data frequency rate is max. up to 1000MHz. The double S/FTP shielding with pair-wise aluminium foil and tinned copper braid as overall shield supports stable data transmission. The cable is compatible with IEEE 802.3, WLAN networks, 10/100/1000Base-T, 10GBase-T, PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ (up to 60W).
Application: The CAT 7 installation cable is intended for LSA/IDC terminations and is suitable for network installations with network sockets, patch panels, Keystone modules, network connectors and network cabinets. It can be used in private and industrial environments where structured LAN cabling with high transmission performance is required. The installation note is important: this is a rigid installation cable for LSA terminations and not a cable for crimping.
Material: The inner conductor is made of pure copper with 4x2 wires, solid. The inner conductor diameter is Ø0.56mm AWG23/1. The conductor structure is twisted pair with 4 wire pairs. The pair colours are green + white, brown + white, orange + white and blue + white. The second wire in each pair is plain white, which is typical for installation cables. The outer jacket is made of PE and is UV-resistant as well as weather- and moisture-protected. The outer diameter is Ø7.2mm.
Technology: Technically, the cable is built as a CAT 7 installation cable with S/FTP shielding. The shielding consists of 0.025mm aluminium foil PIMF per pair (100% coverage) and a tinned copper braid as overall shield. The data frequency rate is max. up to 1000MHz, the supported speed up to 10Gbit/s or 10000MBit/s. The DC resistance is max. 76Ohm/km, the impedance is @100MHz - 100 ±5Ohm and the coupling attenuation is 85dB. The operating voltage is 125V, the NVP value 78-80% and the operating temperature range -20°C to +60°C. The fire protection class is Fca. The following standards are also stated: ISO/IEC 11801 (2nd ed.), ISO/IEC 61156-5, EN 50173-1, LVD 2014/35/EU and RoHS 2015/863/EU.
The CAT 7 network connectors included in the set have a fully shielded housing made of zinc alloy with nickel plating, 50µ gold-plated RJ45 pins and a robust screwable metal sleeve as strain relief. The wires are terminated tool-free via LSA/IDC contacts, the IDC terminal is made of stainless steel. The connectors are designed for AWG22-24 solid-core network cables, cable diameters of 6-7.5mm and insulated wire diameters of 1.35-1.5mm and support PoE/PoE+/4PPoE up to 100W. Wiring is possible according to T568A and T568B. Apart from a stripping tool, no special tool is required for assembly.
Conclusion: The CAT 7 Outdoor network cable is a suitable solution for structured LAN installations with high transmission performance. It combines pure copper, an AWG23/1 inner conductor, S/FTP shielding, a UV-resistant PE jacket and CAT 7 network connectors in selectable variants. This makes it possible to choose the right length and the required number of network connectors for each installation.
