The Cat7 Copper SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) Patch Cord is a premium ultra-high-performance data transmission solution engineered for extreme EMI/RFI environments requiring top-tier bandwidth and signal purity. Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 Class F, EN 50173-1, and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 (backward compatible) standards, it integrates enhanced dual shielding (individual foil-shielded pairs + overall braided shielding) and precision structural design, supporting 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) up to 100 meters and 40GBASE-T up to 15 meters. Ideal for mission-critical systems where zero interference, ultra-low latency, and future-proof scalability are non-negotiable.
Core Technical Specifications
Conductor Material: 23AWG Solid/Bundled Pure Copper (99.99% high-purity conductivity) – lower resistance than Cat6a, ensuring stable ultra-high-speed transmission even at full distance
Insulation: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) with dual-layer extrusion – flame-retardant, ultra-low dielectric loss, resistant to high-frequency signal attenuation (600MHz peak)
Shielding Structure: Enhanced SFTP design – Each pair wrapped in aluminum foil (≥98% coverage) + overall tinned copper braid (64/80 strands, ≥90% coverage) + pair-separating PE spline – comprehensive EMI/RFI rejection (≥100dB @ 1GHz)
Jacket Material: PVC (RoHS-compliant) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) – rugged, oil-resistant, UV-stable; optional industrial-grade abrasion-proof coating for harsh environments
Connector Type: Shielded RJ45 8P8C with 50μ Gold-Plated Contacts + zinc alloy shell – 360° continuous shielding, anti-magnetic interference, 2000+ insertion cycles (industry-leading durability)
Transmission Performance: Bandwidth: 600 MHz (20% higher than Cat6a); Attenuation: ≤38.6 dB (100m, 600MHz); NEXT: ≥35.3 dB (100m, 600MHz); AXT: ≥34.5 dB (100m, 600MHz); Return Loss: ≥13.0 dB (100m, 600MHz)
Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (PVC/LSZH) – extreme environmental adaptability (industrial outdoor, frozen warehouses, high-temperature server rooms)
Grounding System: Integrated 360° connector grounding + braid-to-shell conductive design – eliminates static buildup, ensures shielding effectiveness without signal leakage
Physical Characteristics: Diameter: 6.8-7.8mm (PVC); 7.0-8.0mm (LSZH); Weight: 0.12-0.16kg/m – rugged yet flexible for complex routing in dense cabling environments
Key Performance Advantages
600MHz Ultra-High Bandwidth & Multi-Speed Support
Delivers error-free 10Gbps transmission up to 100 meters, 40Gbps up to 15 meters, and 100Gbps up to 10 meters (via NBASE-T), outperforming Cat6a/SFTP in high-bandwidth scenarios (AI data processing, 8K/16K video streaming, cloud backbone networks).
Military-Grade Anti-Interference Capability
Enhanced dual shielding (foil-per-pair + high-density braid) blocks extreme EMI/RFI from industrial machinery, power lines, radar systems, and radio transmitters – critical for medical imaging, military communications, and power substation control systems.
Ultra-Low Latency & Signal Purity
High-purity copper conductors + dual-layer HDPE insulation minimize signal delay (≤500ns/100m) and jitter, ensuring real-time data synchronization for precision industrial automation, financial trading platforms, and remote surgical equipment.
Backward & Forward Compatibility
Fully compatible with Cat6a/Cat6/Cat5e systems and legacy devices, while supporting next-gen protocols (40G/100G Ethernet) – future-proofing networks against 10+ years of technology upgrades without full cabling replacement.
Strict Global Compliance & Safety
RoHS 3.0, CE, FCC, UL 444, ISO 9001, and EN 50524 certified; LSZH jacket meets EU EN 50265-2-1 (fire safety Class A) and IEC 60332-1-2 (flame retardancy), suitable for enclosed public spaces, aircraft, and industrial facilities.
Wide Application Scenarios
Industrial Automation: PLCs, robotic arms, IoT sensors, SCADA systems (extreme EMI from heavy machinery)
Critical Medical Facilities: MRI/CT scanners, surgical robots, hospital data backbones (signal purity for diagnostic data)
High-Density Data Centers: Server-to-top-of-rack (ToR) switches, storage area networks (SAN), 40G/100G backbone extensions
Military & Aerospace: Radar systems, communication terminals, airborne/shipborne networks (severe electromagnetic environments)
Smart Cities & Critical Infrastructure: Subway control systems, power grid monitoring, 5G small cell backhaul (high RFI/EMI exposure)
Broadcasting & Media: 8K/16K live streaming studios, video production facilities (zero-latency audio/video transmission)
