Network cable DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP 100% Copper Solid Conductor LSZH Cca 305m

DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP 100% Copper Solid Conductor LSZH Cca 305m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in indoor environments. The cable features a full-size solid copper conductor in each of the four pairs, combined with S/FTP shielding — an overall braided screen plus individually foil-shielded pairs — to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath and Cca reaction-to-fire classification make this cable suitable where low smoke emission and improved fire-behaviour classification are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction and 100% solid copper conductors deliver stable signal transmission and improved immunity to external interference, supporting high-frequency data transfer typical for CAT7 applications. The solid (stiff) core provides predictable impedance and is suitable for fixed, permanently installed runs. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, while the Cca rating helps meet stricter building-code and safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Permanent horizontal and backbone Ethernet cabling in offices, data closets and server rooms
• High-speed applications such as 10GBASE-T and other high-frequency network links where CAT7 characteristics are required
• Indoor installations that require low-smoke, low-halogen materials and enhanced fire-performance classification
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is beneficial

When it may not be suitable

The solid, stiff conductor construction is intended for fixed installation and not for frequent flexing or use in patch cords; it is not recommended for movable connections or where repeated bending is expected. For outdoor use, direct burial, or environments exposed to UV and weather, a cable with appropriate outdoor rating and jacket material should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Length per spool: 305 m
• Number of pairs: 4 pairs

How to use

Install this DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP cable as part of structured cabling by routing and fixing it along cable trays, conduits or within walls according to local regulations and installation best practices. Terminate at RJ45 or compliant CAT7 keystone jacks and patch panels designed for shielded cables, ensuring correct grounding of the overall braid and drain wire where required. Maintain recommended bend radius during installation to avoid damaging the solid conductors and verify continuity and performance with appropriate cable testers after termination.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: fixed installation vs. patching — solid conductor is for permanent runs
• Required fire and safety classification for the building — LSZH and Cca suitability
• Connector and panel compatibility for shielded CAT7 wiring and proper grounding
• Length required and whether a 305 m spool fits routing and termination planning

Usage recommendations

Use dedicated shielded RJ45 jacks or CAT7-compatible keystone modules and connect the cable shield to the installation earth to maintain shielding effectiveness. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling tension; perform post-installation testing for alien crosstalk and return loss when deploying in high-speed networks.
