Outdoor network cable GOOBAY CAT 7 S/FTP (PiMF) black 100 m

GOOBAY CAT 7 S/FTP (PiMF) outdoor network cable in black, 100 m length, is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet transmission in outdoor environments. The cable meets Cat7 shielding requirements with pair-level aluminium foil (PiMF) and an overall braided shield to minimise crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. A polyethylene (PE) outer sheath provides enhanced resistance to weathering and UV radiation, making this cable suitable for runs on facades, between buildings and other exposed installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines individual foil shielding for each twisted pair with an overall braid to deliver strong protection against external interference and to preserve signal integrity for higher bandwidths. The polyethylene outer jacket offers mechanical robustness and long-term outdoor durability. This unterminated installation cable is flexible enough for routing and assembly, and it supports modern network standards and PoE power delivery, enabling versatile use in demanding network links.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet runs on building facades and between separate structures
• Wiring for surveillance cameras and security systems exposed to the elements
• Garden, campsite or temporary outdoor network setups
• High-speed links requiring reduced interference for data centres or point-to-point connections

How to use

Measure the required run and unroll the 100 m cable carefully to avoid kinks. Use appropriate outdoor cable clips or conduit to secure the cable along facades and between buildings, ensuring the polyethylene jacket remains intact. Terminate the cable on-site with connectors or keystone jacks designed for S/FTP cables and follow standard IDC or soldered termination procedures as required by your chosen connector type. Maintain proper bend radii and avoid sharp bends near terminations to preserve pair geometry and network performance.

Usage recommendations

For long outdoor runs, protect the cable where it enters buildings with a grommet or gland to prevent water ingress and mechanical wear. When routing near power lines or other sources of interference, keep separation distances and use the cable's shielding ground appropriately at termination points to optimise EMI rejection. Regularly inspect exposed runs for physical damage and replace damaged sections to maintain reliable network operation.
