Networking cable EFB Elektronik Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) 100 m Black

The EFB Elektronik 99731.100 is a Cat7 networking cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, supplied on a 100 m reel in black. The cable has a thick-walled polyethylene outer sheath suitable for direct burial, is UV-resistant and supports transmission rates up to 1000 MHz, enabling IEEE 802.3 transmission speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. It exceeds the electrical transmission properties required for Category 7 and is suitable for structured cabling classes E, EA and F in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801 (AMD 2:2009) and EN 50173-1 (2009).

Advantages

The cable construction with overall braid and individually foil-shielded pairs (S/FTP) provides high immunity to external interference and minimizes crosstalk. A robust polyethylene outer sheath offers mechanical protection and UV resistance for outdoor and direct-burial installations. Compliance with Cat7 and relevant international standards ensures compatibility with structured cabling systems and supports high data rates up to 10 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling for Class E, EA and F installations
• Outdoor and direct-burial network runs requiring UV resistance
• High-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s (IEEE 802.3)
• Environments needing enhanced shielding to reduce interference

How to use

Route the Cat7 S/FTP cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. For direct-burial applications, install the cable at the recommended depth and use appropriate conduit or warning tape where local regulations require. Terminate the cable with connectors and keystone jacks rated for Cat7 or compatible with S/FTP shielding to preserve performance. Follow standard cabling practices for pair untwisting limits and maintain separation from strong electrical sources to avoid interference.

Recommendations

Use Cat7-compatible connectors and grounding for the overall braid when the installation requires maximum shielding performance. For long outdoor runs, inspect the outer sheath periodically and follow local building codes for burial depth and protection.
