Sommer Cable SC-Mercator CAT.7 S/FTP Network Installation Cable 8x Inner Conductor 4x2² FRNC - Orange

The Sommer Cable SC-Mercator CAT.7 network installation cable is a high-performance S/FTP (PiMF) cable designed for permanent building cabling and data centers. With 8 solid OFC copper conductors (AWG 23/1) arranged in 4 twisted pairs, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 MHz and is fully compliant with CPR fire class Dca-s2,d2,a1. The FRNC/LSZH jacket ensures low smoke and zero halogen, making it safe for use in public and commercial environments.

Advantages

This cable offers excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference thanks to its S/FTP construction (pairs in metal foil plus overall braid). The solid AWG 23/1 conductors provide reliable signal transmission over longer distances. Its halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket meets strict safety standards, and it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Permanent network installations in buildings
• Data center structured cabling
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone connections
• PoE applications (up to 90W)
• Installations requiring CPR compliance (Dca)
