Network cable DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP solid installer cable 50m LSZH Dca 10 Gbit/s double-shielded

DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP solid installer cable, 50 m, LSZH Dca rated, is a structured cabling cable designed for permanent in-wall and horizontal installations. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and combines pair-level foil shielding with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and near-end crosstalk. The solid conductor design and LSZH Dca jacket make the cable suitable for fixed installations where fire performance and low smoke emissions are required.

Advantages

The DS-IT CAT7 S/FTP cable provides high transmission performance for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper, with pair-wise foil and an overall braid that improve signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Its solid conductors offer stable impedance for long runs in structured cabling, while the LSZH Dca jacket minimizes toxic and smoky emissions in case of fire. The 50 m length is convenient for installer rolls during site deployment.

Suitable for

• Permanent in-wall Ethernet installations in residential and commercial buildings
• Structured cabling vertical and horizontal runs in offices and data closets
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred
• Applications requiring up to 10 Gbit/s over copper for switches, routers, and patch panels

When it may not be suitable

This solid conductor CAT7 cable is intended for permanent installation and is not designed for frequent flexing or use as a patch cord. It may not be suitable for scenarios that require flexible stranded cable for pre-terminated patch panels or moveable equipment connections. For runs exceeding standards-recommended distances or when fiber optic transmission is required for longer backbones, optical fiber solutions should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (pair-level foil with overall braided shield)
• Conductor: solid copper conductors
• Category/Class: CAT7
• Length: 50 m
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), fire performance class Dca
• Application: permanent in-wall and structured cabling installations

How to use

Run the cable following local building codes and structured cabling best practices. Use appropriate cable management, support, and separation from power lines to maintain signal quality. Terminate the solid conductors on suitable keystone jacks, punch-down patch panels or on-site installed connectors designed for solid CAT7 conductors and shielded interfaces. Ensure the shield continuity by properly grounding and bonding the cable shielding at designated enclosure points.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a solid conductor CAT7 cable is appropriate for fixed, in-wall installations rather than removable patching.
• Check that your termination hardware (jacks, panels) supports S/FTP and solid conductors and provides proper shielding connections.
• Verify required run length and whether 50 m roll length meets site needs without intermediate splices.
• Ensure compliance with local fire and building regulations for LSZH Dca rated cables.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain proper bend radius during installation, avoid tight bends or kinks, separate data runs from high-voltage power cables, and perform certification testing after installation to verify continuity, pair balance, and crosstalk performance up to the intended frequency for 10 Gbit/s operation.
