Network cable Draka INFRALAN Cat.7 1000 AWG23 S/FTP 2x4P CPR Cca orange 100m

Draka INFRALAN Cat.7 1000 AWG23 S/FTP 2x4P CPR Cca orange 100m is a high-performance network cable intended for reliable structured cabling and backbone installations. The cable complies with Category 7 wiring requirements and supports Gigabit Ethernet throughput over AWG23 conductors. Its S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs, while the orange outer jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable environments. The CPR Cca classification defines the cable's reaction-to-fire properties for installations where fire performance is required by regulation.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. AWG23 conductors offer lower attenuation and better transfer characteristics compared with finer-gauge conductors, enabling stable 1000 Mbps operation. The dual 2x4P assembly design provides two separate 4-pair cores in a single outer jacket, allowing flexible deployment for parallel links or future expansion while saving installation time. The orange jacket simplifies route identification and the overall construction is suitable for structured cabling, data center backbones and high-performance network segments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links in office, server room and campus networks
• Backbone and horizontal structured cabling installations
• Data centers and telecommunication rooms requiring enhanced shielding
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference (industrial or dense cable bundles)
• Installations where fire reaction classification Cca is required

How to use

Route and secure the cable according to standard structured cabling practices, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Terminate each 4-pair assembly with compatible shielded RJ45 or appropriate connector systems designed for Cat.7 S/FTP cable; ensure the shield continuity is maintained through shielded connectors and proper grounding. When deploying the dual 2x4P cable, plan connectorization and patching to utilize each 4-pair core as needed for separate links or combined applications. Test each channel with a suitable network tester to verify continuity, pair mapping, shielding integrity and performance at the target data rate.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, maintain bend radii and maximum pull tensions as specified by industry cabling standards. Use shielded connectors and ensure proper grounding to preserve the S/FTP shielding benefits. In installations subject to building fire-safety requirements, confirm that CPR Cca classification meets local regulations and coordinate with facility planners for cable routing in risers and plenums.
