DRAKA UC900PE SS23 Cat.7A S/FTP Installation Cable, 23 AWG, LSZH-FR, Black, Sold per Meter

Where standard Cat.7A cables often sacrifice either bandwidth headroom or fire safety, the DRAKA UC900PE SS23 delivers both. This installation cable pairs solid 23 AWG bare copper conductors with S/FTP shielding and a low-smoke, zero-halogen flame-retardant jacket, achieving a full 1200 MHz frequency range while meeting Euroclass Dca-s2,d2,a1 fire performance. The result is a cable that supports 10GBASE-T and beyond without compromising on building code compliance.

Highlights

• Category 7A performance with 1200 MHz bandwidth, supporting 10GBASE-T and future network speeds.
• S/FTP construction: overall braided screen plus individual foil shielding on each of the 4 pairs for superior alien crosstalk resistance.
• 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors ensure excellent conductivity and support for Power over Ethernet applications.
• LSZH-FR (Low Smoke Zero Halogen, Flame Retardant) black jacket meets Euroclass Dca-s2,d2,a1, reducing toxic emissions in fire scenarios.
• Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, IEC 61156-5, and EN 50575 for reliable structured cabling installations.

In daily use

Installers will appreciate the cable's balance of flexibility and robustness. With an outer diameter of approximately 7.5 mm and a minimum bending radius of 8 times the diameter during installation, it routes cleanly through conduits and cable trays without excessive stiffness. The black LSZH-FR jacket is durable yet easy to strip, and the colour-coded pairs simplify termination.
