Network cable WENTRONIC Goobay 75714 Cat7a S/FTP (S-STP) 50 m, orange

WENTRONIC Goobay 75714 is a 50 m Cat7a network cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and an orange outer jacket. The cable is supplied without pre-fitted connectors, featuring individually foil-shielded twisted pairs plus an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Copper conductors deliver signal integrity for high-speed Ethernet, structured cabling and backbone installations where an unterminated cable is required for custom connectorisation or installation into patch panels and keystone jacks.

Advantages

The double shielding design (pair foil plus overall braid) provides improved protection against EMI and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. Copper conductors ensure reliable transmission and compatibility with high data rates typical for Cat7a performance. The bright orange jacket improves visibility in installation environments and helps with cable identification in cable management runs. Supplied in a 50 m length, the cable is suitable for longer runs without intermediate splices and for use in structured cabling backbones.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links and data centre horizontal or backbone cabling
• Structured cabling installations requiring shielded pairs and overall shield
• Custom assembly with RJ45 plugs, keystone modules or direct termination into patch panels
• Environments where cable visibility and identification are important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 50 m
• Conductor material: copper
• Termination: no pre-fitted connectors (unterminated cable)
• Colour: orange

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length, allow additional slack for routing and strain relief. Strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the individually shielded pairs, maintain the integrity of the pair foil and braid until termination to preserve shielding performance. Terminate using compatible shielded connectors, keystone jacks or patch panel modules designed for Cat7a S/FTP cables, and ensure proper grounding of the cable shield and connector to maintain EMC protection. Test each link with appropriate network testers after installation to confirm continuity and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded terminations and ensure the cable braid is connected to the grounding point to benefit fully from S/FTP shielding. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable's minimum bend radius during routing. Store and deploy the 50 m reel in dry environments and avoid mechanical stress during installation to preserve conductor and shield integrity.
