DIGITUS installation cable - Cat 7 - S/FTP - AWG 23/1 - 500m - Black

The Digitus Cat.7 S/FTP burial installation cable (500 m) is a high-performance network cable designed for outdoor and underground installations. It supports 10 GBit Ethernet, offers S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and is rated for transmission frequencies up to 1200 MHz. The cable features a PE outer jacket for mechanical and weather resistance and a halogen-free inner jacket that meets IEC 60332-1, FRNC-B, LSZH-1 and CPR Euro class Eca standards. It is suitable for permanent link installations and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Advantages

The cable construction (4x2x AWG23/1) and S/FTP shielding provide stable high-speed transmission and improved protection against crosstalk and external interference. A PE outer jacket ensures durability for burial and outdoor use, while the halogen-free inner jacket and compliance with IEC and CPR standards deliver fire safety and low-smoke characteristics. Designed for 10GBase-T networks and certified for permanent link installation, the cable accommodates PoE devices.

Suitable for

• Buried outdoor network trunk lines
• Permanent link installations in data centers or building backbones
• PoE-powered outdoor devices (e.g., cameras, access points)
• High-speed Ethernet up to 10 GBit/s

How to use

Plan the route for the burial or outdoor installation and ensure compliance with local regulations for underground cabling. Verify cable length and allow service loops where needed. Use appropriate conduit or direct burial techniques recommended for PE-jacketed network cables. Terminate the cable with compatible Cat.7 connectors or patch panels designed for S/FTP cables, and perform certification testing for permanent link compliance and signal quality. When supplying PoE devices, confirm power budgets and connector compatibility.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical damage; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius during installation. For direct burial, use proper backfill materials and consider additional protective conduit in areas with mechanical stress or heavy traffic. Perform post-installation tests (continuity, shielding integrity, and certification to Cat.7/10G) to validate the installation.
