Patchcord LAN Extralink Kat.7 S/FTP 2 m 20G Green — copper twisted-pair cable

Extralink Kat.7 S/FTP patchcord, 2 m length, green, is a shielded copper twisted-pair cable designed for LAN connections requiring Category 7 performance. The cable uses S/FTP construction (each pair individually foil‑shielded plus an overall braided/foil shield) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It is intended for short patching runs in data cabinets, between switches and patch panels, or at workstations where a compact, high-performance patch cable is needed. The connectors are shielded and gold-plated to ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance in network installations.

Advantages

Cat.7 S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against EMI and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded or less-shielded cables, improving signal stability in electrically noisy environments. The cable is made of pure copper conductors suitable for data transmission and PoE power delivery. With rated support for high frequencies and high throughput over standard Ethernet distances, this patchcord offers greater longevity and performance headroom than lower category cables.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links and network patching in data cabinets and racks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network appliances
• Workstation cabling where compact, shielded patch cords are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7 (S/FTP)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor material: copper (four twisted pairs)
• Shielding: foil shield per pair and overall shield (S/FTP)
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts with shielded RJ45 boots
• Colour: green
• Nominal supported bandwidth: up to 600 MHz
• Nominal supported data rate: up to 20 Gb/s over typical Ethernet distances

How to use

Plug the shielded RJ45 connectors into the corresponding LAN ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Ensure the device ports and the cabling environment are properly grounded to allow the shielding to function correctly. Route the 2 m patchcord without sharp bends or kinks and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables for long distances to minimize potential interference. For PoE devices, confirm that the switch or injector complies with the required PoE standard before applying power over the cable.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m Extralink Cat.7 S/FTP patchcord for short interconnects inside racks and at workstations where shielded, high-bandwidth connections are needed. Maintain proper grounding of connected equipment and avoid excessive cable compression; replace the patchcord if connector contacts show visible wear or damage.
