METZ CONNECT Cat.7 S/FTP Patch Cable 500 m, LSZH, Orange, Drum

The METZ CONNECT 1308427032143 is a high-performance Cat.7 S/FTP (S-STP) bulk cable designed for demanding 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. With a length of 500 meters on a convenient drum, this cable is ideal for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. The S/FTP shielding (overall braid and individual foil pairs) provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission up to 600 MHz.

Advantages

This cable offers superior signal integrity and minimal crosstalk thanks to its S/FTP construction and solid bare copper conductors (AWG 23/1). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it suitable for public buildings and data centers. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, 4PPoE) for flexible device powering.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T networks requiring high bandwidth and low latency
• Data center cabling, server rooms, and enterprise LANs
• Industrial automation and security systems
• Installations where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical
