Helos Cat.7 Duplex Rohkabel S/FTP PiMF LSZH, 600 MHz, 2x(4x2xAWG23/1), orange, 500 m drum

Helos Cat.7 Duplex Rohkabel S/FTP PiMF LSZH, 600 MHz, 2x(4x2xAWG23/1), orange, 500 m drum is a duplex raw network cable designed for high-speed structured cabling. The cable features individually shielded pairs (S/FTP) with overall screening in a paired-in-metal-foil (PiMF) arrangement to reduce near-end and far-end crosstalk and provide robust protection against electromagnetic interference. Its construction of two cores each containing four twisted pairs of AWG 23/1 conductors supports frequencies up to 600 MHz, and the halogen-free LSZH jacket reduces toxic gas emission in case of fire. The orange sheath improves visual identification in installations and the 500 m drum format simplifies deployment for long backbone runs.

Advantages

The cable combines per-pair foil shielding and an overall braid or screen to deliver enhanced EMI resistance and improved pair-to-pair isolation compared with unshielded or less-shielded alternatives. AWG23/1 solid conductors maintain stable impedance and support long runs with lower attenuation. LSZH outer sheath minimizes halogen release, making the product suitable for environments with strict safety requirements. The duplex design with two separately constructed cores on a single drum reduces handling time for backbone or multi-segment installations.

Suitable for

• Data center and server room backbone cabling
• Industrial Ethernet and automation cabling where EMI is present
• High-speed broadband and enterprise network distribution
• Horizontal and vertical structured cabling requiring shielded connections

Key specifications

• Pair shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair) with overall shielding (PiMF)
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Color: Orange for easy identification
• Length/packaging: 500 m drum

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices and local regulations. Route the cable along defined cable trays, conduits or cable channels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. For terminations, strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the shield layers and twisted pairs, maintain pair twists as close as possible to the connector termination point, and connect to compatible shielded connectors or patch panels to preserve the shielding continuity. Ensure proper grounding of the overall shield at the designated grounding point to maintain EMI performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with shielded RJ45 components or Class F connectors rated for Cat.7 systems, limit bend radius to manufacturer guidelines (typically 8–10 × cable diameter), and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Store the drum flat and unroll without rotating the drum excessively to prevent kinking. Inspect terminations for shield continuity and use appropriate cable management to maintain separation from noise sources.
