CAT 7 SLIM – slim in design, strong in connectivity

General information: With an outer diameter of 6.0 ± 0.3 mm, the CAT 7 SLIM network cable offers a compact design for fixed network cabling. The simplex cable is available in white and green and in various lengths.

Function: The cable supports data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s at a maximum link length of 60 m. Via PoE and PoE+, compatible devices such as access points, IP cameras or VoIP phones can be powered through the network cable.

Application: For structured cabling in residential buildings, offices and technical rooms. When connecting to keystone modules or patch panels, the connectors must be suitable for solid AWG26/1 conductors.

Material: Eight solid copper conductors, each 0.40 mm in diameter, form four twisted pairs. The conductors are insulated with SFS-PE. The halogen-free LSZH outer jacket is low-smoke; the cable meets fire class Eca.

Technology: The S/FTP shielding combines an aluminum foil around each pair with a common aluminum-magnesium braided shield. This shields both the individual pairs and the entire cable against electromagnetic interference.

Conclusion: A compact solution for network links of up to 60 m that combines 10 Gbit/s data transmission, double shielding and PoE support. For installation, suitable connection components for AWG26/1 are essential.

FAQ

Which connectors are compatible with the CAT 7 SLIM network cable?

Keystone modules, network outlets and patch panels must be suitable for solid AWG26/1 conductors. Also check the permissible diameters: 0.91 ± 0.02 mm for the insulated wires and 6.0 ± 0.3 mm for the cable.

Can I use the CAT 7 SLIM network cable over a 100 m run?

According to the datasheet, the maximum permanent link length is 60 m. A 100 m reel can be divided up for several shorter runs.

Can I power IP cameras or access points with the CAT 7 SLIM network cable?

Yes, the cable supports PoE and PoE+. The connected device and the switch or PoE injector must support the appropriate PoE standard. PoE++ is not listed in the datasheet.

How tightly can I bend the CAT 7 SLIM network cable?

For fixed installation, the minimum bending radius is four times the cable diameter; for flexing applications, it is eight times the cable diameter. With a nominal outer diameter of 6 mm, that corresponds to a radius of approximately 24 mm and 48 mm respectively.
