LAN cable Cat7 S/FTP Electro Base S/FTP7-O-PB-PE-500 10Gbit 500m

Electro Base LAN cable Cat7 S/FTP S/FTP7-O-PB-PE-500 is a shielded network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s. Supplied on a continuous 500 m spool, this cable combines an overall braided screen (S) with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (FTP) to minimise crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The construction is suitable for backbone runs and structured cabling in both commercial and residential installations where stable, high-throughput connections are required.

Advantages

The combination of overall screening and foil-shielded pairs reduces alien crosstalk and improves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s transmission rates and is provided on a long continuous reel that simplifies deployment for installers and reduces joins in long runs. Its construction offers consistent pair balance and mechanical durability for fixed installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet backbone and horizontal cabling
• Structured cabling in offices, data closets and server rooms
• Residential networks requiring enhanced EMI/RFI protection
• Long continuous cable runs where fewer splices are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: overall braided screen plus foil-shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 500 m continuous reel
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper conductors suitable for Ethernet (check installer preference)
• Application: backbone, structured cabling, high-interference environments

How to use

Unwind the cable from the 500 m reel and route it through cable trays, conduits or along planned pathways following local installation standards. Terminate the cable with compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks rated for Cat7 and shielded terminations, ensuring the shield continuity is maintained by properly bonding drains and connector shields to the building grounding system. Test each run with a suitable network cable tester certified for Cat7 or Class F performance to verify pair integrity, attenuation and alien crosstalk.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling tension during installation, maintain proper separation from power cables where possible, and use shielded connectors and grounding to preserve the cable's EMI protection. Confirm conductor type (solid vs. stranded) matches your termination method and use professional testing after installation to document performance.
