Material: Inner conductor made of bare annealed copper (solid AWG 23/1, 0.56 mm), insulated with SFS-PE (Foam-Skin Polyethylene) according to EN 50290-2-23. Eight wires in four twisted pairs, color-coded in Blue-White, Orange-White, Green-White, and Brown-White. The LSZH outer jacket is halogen-free and corrosion-resistant, 0.60 mm thick – available as CAT 7 B2ca installation cable in Orange (RAL 2003) or Yellow (RAL 1016).

Technology: Impedance 100 ± 15 Ohm at 4–100 MHz, capacitance 45 pF/m, maximum DC resistance 95 Ohm/km, minimum insulation resistance 5 GOhm × km. Maximum signal propagation delay 450 ns/100 m, NVP 79%, outer diameter 7.2 mm ± 0.3 mm, operating temperature -20 °C to +50 °C. Standards compliance according to ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 61156-5, EN 50173-1/4, and EN 50288-4-1.

Conclusion: GHMT-certified, B2ca fire protection compliant, and designed for 10-Gigabit networks – anyone prioritizing quality and standard compliance for network installation is well-equipped with the CAT 7 B2ca Network Cable.

FAQ

What is the fire behavior of B2ca class cables?

B2ca class cables exhibit excellent fire behavior. They are flame-retardant, limit flame spread, and are suitable for installations with increased fire protection requirements.

What is the practical use of the CAT 7 PRO B2ca Network Cable?

For fixed network installations in walls, ceilings, cable ducts, offices, technical rooms, or network cabinets. It connects to network sockets, Keystone modules, or patch panels.

What does S/FTP mean for the CAT 7 PRO B2ca Network Cable?

S/FTP means: each wire pair is individually shielded, and the cable additionally has an overall screen. This protects data transmission better against interference.
