DIGITUS DK-1741-V-05-OD Category 7 Installation Cable, S/FTP, AWG 23/1, PE, Outdoor, 50m, Black

The DIGITUS Category 7 installation cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered specifically for demanding outdoor environments. With its robust construction and advanced shielding technology, this cable provides reliable, high-speed data transmission while maintaining signal integrity over long distances. The 50-meter length makes it a versatile choice for connecting remote network devices, security cameras, or outdoor access points to your primary infrastructure.

Advantages

This installation cable features S/FTP shielding, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable performance even in environments with high electrical noise. The use of solid AWG 23/1 copper conductors supports high bandwidth requirements, making it suitable for modern Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. The durable polyethylene (PE) outer sheath is specifically designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term reliability for outdoor installations.

Suitable for

• Outdoor network infrastructure projects
• Connecting IP security cameras in exterior locations
• Linking outdoor wireless access points to the main network
• Backbone cabling between buildings

This cable may not be suitable for indoor applications where a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rating is required by fire safety regulations, as the PE sheath is designed for outdoor durability rather than fire resistance. Additionally, it is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or frequent movement, as the solid conductor design is optimized for permanent, fixed installations.

Key specifications

• Category: 7
• Shielding: S/FTP (Screened Fully Shielded Twisted Pair)
• Conductor: AWG 23/1 solid copper
• Outer sheath material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Length: 50 meters
• Color: Black

To install this cable, ensure that it is routed through appropriate conduits or secured with UV-resistant cable ties to prevent mechanical stress. When terminating the cable, use compatible Category 7 shielded connectors to maintain the integrity of the shielding throughout the entire link. Always ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to avoid damaging the internal conductors or shielding layers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable length is sufficient for your specific installation path
• Ensure compatibility with your existing network hardware and connectors
• Confirm that the installation environment complies with the cable's fire safety ratings
• Check if additional conduit or protective housing is needed for your specific site requirements

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is properly grounded at both ends using shielded connectors and that the installation path avoids proximity to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference.
