DSIT Cat.7 S/FTP PiMF RJ45 Network Patch Cable, 7.5m, Grey

Data centres and high-density office networks demand cabling that can keep up with 10-Gigabit speeds without interference. This DSIT Cat.7 patch cable uses S/FTP shielding with individually foiled pairs (PiMF) to eliminate crosstalk and external noise, making it a reliable link between servers, switches, patch panels, and workstations. The 7.5-metre grey jacket blends into raised floors and cable trays while providing enough reach for rack-to-rack or desk-to-wall connections.

Key specifications

• Category 7 (Cat.7) performance, backward compatible with Cat.6a, Cat.6, and Cat.5e
• S/FTP shielding: overall braid plus foil around each twisted pair (PiMF)
• RJ45 male connectors on both ends, gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Length: 7.5 metres; grey PVC jacket, outer diameter approx. 7.0 mm
• Conductor: pure copper, 26 AWG stranded, 100 Ohm impedance
• Supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 600 MHz bandwidth
• Wiring standard: TIA/EIA-568B; RoHS and CE compliant

Why choose it

Stranded copper conductors give this cable the flexibility needed for tight bends behind equipment, while the double shielding (S/FTP) keeps signal integrity intact even in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated contacts ensure a stable connection over thousands of mating cycles, and the PVC jacket resists abrasion and everyday wear. With Cat.7 headroom, you can run 10-Gigabit today and still have margin for future upgrades.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches in data centres
• Linking patch panels to switches in structured cabling systems
• High-speed workstation connections for video editing, CAD, or large file transfers
• Extending network drops in offices, labs, or industrial control cabinets

Good to know

The cable is fully backward compatible with existing Cat.5e and Cat.6 infrastructure, so you can upgrade gradually without replacing all components. For best performance, avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and keep connectors clean. The grey colour is neutral and easy to label in cable management systems.
