Patch cable Flexline Cat.7 S/FTP RJ45 PUR black 1.0m

Flexline Cat.7 S/FTP RJ45 patch cable, 1.0 m in length, features a black PUR jacket and fully shielded S/FTP construction designed for high-speed Ethernet and data transmission. The cable combines individually foil-shielded pairs with an overall braid to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, supporting reliable links in structured cabling, server racks, switches and workstation connections where Cat.7 performance and durable insulation are needed.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference, improving signal integrity for Gigabit and higher-speed links. The PUR outer jacket offers greater abrasion resistance, flexibility and resistance to oils and chemicals compared with standard PVC jackets, extending suitability for industrial or high-traffic environments. Robust RJ45 connectors and precise pair termination maintain consistent contact quality for frequent plug cycles.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling backbones and patch panels in data centers
• Server racks and switch-to-switch interconnections
• Workstation/network outlet to switch patching in offices
• Environments requiring enhanced EMI protection, such as near electrical equipment
• Applications where a durable, oil- and abrasion-resistant jacket is desirable

When it may not be suitable

This Cat.7 S/FTP cable is optimized for high-performance copper Ethernet links but may be unnecessary for simple home networks or low-bandwidth applications where Cat.5e or Cat6 cabling already meets requirements. The thicker shielding and more robust jacket can reduce flexibility compared with thinner, unshielded patch cords, which may matter in very tight cable management situations.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) connectors
• Length: 1.0 m
• Outer jacket material: PUR (polyurethane), black
• Application: Ethernet/data networks, structured cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (switch, patch panel, or network outlet) and the other into the corresponding device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the bend radius recommended for shielded cables to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal integrity. For installations requiring grounding of shields, connect equipment chassis or patch panels to a common ground per site grounding practices.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat.7 performance and S/FTP shielding are required for your network environment
• Confirm 1.0 m length suits your patching distance and rack layout
• Ensure devices and patch panels accept RJ45 connectors and can utilize shielded cables with proper grounding
• Consider whether the less flexible PUR jacket fits your cable routing needs

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Flexline Cat.7 S/FTP patch cable in combination with shielded components (shielded patch panels and shielded jacks) and a proper grounding scheme. Avoid tight bending and mechanical strain, and keep separation from high-power cabling where possible to maintain optimal data transmission and long-term reliability.
