Draka UC1500 HS22 Cat 7A S/FTP Installation Cable, 100m Ring, Orange

The Draka UC1500 HS22 Cat 7A S/FTP installation cable is a high-performance solution engineered for demanding professional network infrastructures. This cable is designed to support high-speed data transmission, providing reliable connectivity for modern enterprise environments. With its robust S/FTP construction, it features individual pair shielding (PiMF) combined with an overall braid, which effectively minimizes crosstalk and provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent signal integrity even in high-density cabling environments.

Advantages

This installation cable offers exceptional transmission characteristics, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications that require stable and secure data flow. The high-quality shielding design significantly reduces the risk of signal degradation, allowing for reliable performance over long distances within structured cabling systems. Its durable construction ensures longevity and consistent performance, while the bright orange jacket allows for easy identification and organization within complex server rooms or cable trays.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks (LAN)
• Data centers and server room infrastructure
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Structured cabling systems in office buildings
• Industrial environments requiring high electromagnetic compatibility

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or direct burial, as it lacks the necessary UV resistance and moisture protection required for such environments. Additionally, it may be overkill for basic home networking setups where lower-category cables would suffice and be more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 7A
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF + overall braid)
• Length: 100m ring
• Color: Orange
• Application: Installation cable

How to use

The cable is designed for permanent installation within walls, conduits, or cable trays. When installing, ensure that the minimum bend radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors and shielding. Use appropriate Cat 7A compatible connectors and patch panels to maintain the integrity of the shielded system throughout the entire link. Proper grounding of the shielding is essential to achieve the full performance benefits of the S/FTP design.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific installation path
• Ensure compatibility with your existing network hardware and connectors
• Check if the installation environment requires a specific fire safety rating
• Confirm that the cable diameter fits your existing conduits or cable management systems

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension during installation. Always ensure that the cable is properly terminated with shielded connectors to maintain the electromagnetic interference protection provided by the S/FTP design.
