Network Cable Draka Patchkabel UC900 FLEX RJ45 Cat. 7 500m Orange

The Draka Patchkabel UC900 FLEX RJ45 Cat. 7 in orange is a halogen-free, S/FTP-shielded network cable provided on a 500 m reel. Designed for structured cabling and high-speed data transmission, this Cat 7 cable supports demanding network environments where reduced interference and clear identification of cable runs are required. The flexible construction simplifies installation in racks and conduits while the bright orange sheath helps with visual tracing and maintenance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding architecture combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free jacket reduces the release of harmful fumes in case of fire and is appropriate for environments with strict safety requirements. The cable’s flexibility and consistent manufacturing quality enable reliable terminations and long-distance runs without frequent signal degradation. The orange color improves visibility for identification and management in complex installations.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in commercial and industrial buildings
• Server rooms and data centres requiring high bandwidth
• Horizontal and backbone network links
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Class F / Cat. 7 performance suitable for high-frequency transmission
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 500 meters on a reel
• Conductor type: twisted pairs with individual pair shielding
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Colour: orange for easy identification
• Connector compatibility: RJ45 terminations suitable for Cat. 7 cabling

How to use

Measure and plan the cable route according to installation standards and site constraints. Unreel the cable carefully to avoid kinks and twisting that can affect performance. Terminate the cable using compatible RJ45 connectors and follow recommended wiring schemes and crimping procedures for Cat. 7 installations. Ensure proper grounding of shielded components and maintain specified bend radii during routing. Test the installed links with appropriate certification tools to verify attenuation, NEXT, and return loss meet expected parameters.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable reel on a stable surface and avoid sharp bends; respect manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius. Maintain separation from high-voltage power cables where practical, and use shielded connectors and properly connected screens to preserve the S/FTP performance. For permanent installations in occupied spaces, the halogen-free jacket supports safer fire behaviour.
