InLine Installation cable Cat.7a S/FTP 4x2x0.58 AWG23 1200MHz 500m

The installation cable is supplied in a drum box that allows convenient removal of the required length. The cable is wound on a plastic reel fixed inside a reinforced cardboard box to enable tangle-free unrolling and protect the cable during transport and storage. The InLine Cat.7a S/FTP installation cable supports up to 1200 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbit/s, has full copper conductors, an overall braided shield with pairwise metal foil (S/FTP), and a halogen-free LSZH orange sheath. The delivered product for the 500 m length is on a drum; shorter bundle packaging options include box packaging for 10 m and 25 m and drum boxes for 50 m, 100 m, and 300 m.

Advantages

The reinforced drum box reduces handling effort on site by eliminating the need for additional unwinding devices and lowers transport damage and soiling by protecting the cable with cardboard packaging. The packaging is lightweight and stackable for simpler transport and storage, and the remaining-metre indication on the cable helps avoid cutting errors and reduce waste for small-length requirements. The cable construction provides stable impedance and effective shielding to minimise interference.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling and long-run installations (500 m reels)
• High-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s and applications up to 1200 MHz
• Environments requiring LSZH (halogen-free) jacket materials
• Installation scenarios where protected, tangle-free cable dispensing is required

How to use

Place the drum or box on a stable surface or a suitable dispenser so the plastic reel can rotate freely. Pull the required cable length and cut at the remaining-metre indicator if needed. Install the cable following standard Cat.7a installation practices: avoid tight bends (respect minimum bend radius), maintain separation from strong electrical sources where possible, and terminate with compatible connectors and shielded components to preserve S/FTP performance. Ensure temperature limits are observed during installation.

Usage recommendations

For best shielding and performance, terminate the cable with shielded connectors and use proper grounding for the overall braid. Store and transport the drum box upright to prevent deformation of the reel and protect the sheath from mechanical damage.
