Key features

600MHz

Wide bandwidth

The CAT7 construction carries signal across a 600 MHz band.

10GBase-T

10 Gigabit Ethernet

Carries IEEE 802.3an 10GBase-T links.

23AWG

Conductor gauge

The S/FTP PIMF construction shields each 23 AWG pair separately.

-20 / +60°C

Operating temperature

Works in environments between -20 °C and +60 °C.

190/km

Loop resistance

Loop resistance stays at 190 /km.

IN EVERYDAY USE

Structured cablingBuilds permanent links in horizontal and vertical in-building routes.

Flame retardant jacketThe LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen release during a fire.

Color separationThe yellow jacket separates links that share the same route.
