Product Overview
The Cat7 4-Pair SFTP Shielded Cable is a high-performance Ethernet solution engineered for ultra-high-speed, high-interference industrial and commercial network environments. Adopting S/FTP (Screened/Foil Twisted Pair) double shielding structure, it provides ultimate protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk (AXT), ensuring zero-disruption data transmission for core business network systems.
Built with 100% pure oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and chemical foam insulation, this cable supports a super high bandwidth of 600MHz and stable 10Gbps Ethernet transmission over 100 meters, making it a future-proof choice for high-bandwidth application scenarios. The combination of aluminum foil shielding for each twisted pair and tinned copper braided overall shielding boosts anti-interference capability by 25dB compared with unshielded cables (up to 90dB in optimal conditions). With optional LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, it meets fire safety requirements for confined and fire-sensitive locations, fully complying with TIA/EIA-568-B and ISO/IEC 11801 international standards.
Core Advantages
- Dual Shielding for Maximum Anti-Interference: Foil shielding for each 4 pairs + tinned copper braided overall shielding, effectively isolating EMI/AXT, ideal for high-electromagnetic interference industrial environments.
- Ultra-High Speed & Bandwidth: 600MHz bandwidth supports stable 10Gbps transmission over 100 meters, meeting the needs of high-frequency trading, large-scale enterprise and data center high-speed networking.
- High-Quality Conductor & Insulation: 100% pure OFC conductor ensures low resistance and minimal signal loss; chemical foam insulation greatly improves transmission capacity and signal integrity.
- Multi-Standard Compliance: Conforms to YD/T1019-2013, TIA/EIA-568-B and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, performance indicators exceed Cat7 baseline requirements.
- Fire Safety Optional: PVC jacket for general scenarios, LSZH jacket optional for fire-sensitive areas (low smoke, zero halogen, low toxicity in case of fire).
- Easy Installation: Built-in rip cord for quick jacket stripping, suitable for indoor horizontal structured cabling and LAN wiring with convenient construction and laying.

Installation & Application
Applicable Scenarios
- High-demand data center server room and core network structured cabling
- Industrial Ethernet cabling for heavy industrial manufacturing with strong electromagnetic interference
- High-frequency trading system networks requiring ultra-stable and low-latency transmission
- Large-scale enterprise backbone networks and high-bandwidth office networking
- Indoor horizontal work area wiring in commercial and industrial buildings
- Security and shielding systems with ultra-high requirements for electromagnetic interference and data confidentiality
Installation Notes
- Avoid excessive bending during laying, ensure bending radius ≥5×cable outer diameter to prevent damage to shielding layer and conductor, affecting transmission performance.
- Control tensile strength within the standard range during construction to avoid core breakage and shielding layer damage.
- Keep away from high-voltage power cables, frequency converters and other strong interference sources to maximize the dual shielding effect.
- For fire-sensitive areas such as data centers and high-rise building core tubes, select the LSZH jacket version to meet fire safety and environmental protection requirements.
- This cable is for indoor use only; additional waterproof and anti-UV protection measures are required if used in semi-outdoor environments.
- Ensure reliable grounding of the shielding layer during installation to further improve anti-interference and signal confidentiality performance.
FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Cat7 SFTP and Cat6 STP cable, and how to choose?
A1: Cat7 SFTP adopts double shielding structure (foil + braid) with 600MHz bandwidth and 10Gbps transmission speed, suitable for high-speed, high-interference core network scenarios (data centers, industrial Ethernet); Cat6 STP is single foil shielding with 250MHz bandwidth and 1Gbps transmission speed, suitable for general medium-high speed networking (smart buildings, ordinary enterprise networks). Choose Cat7 SFTP for ultra-high speed and anti-interference requirements, and Cat6 STP for cost-effective medium-high speed networking needs.
Q2: Why is Cat7 SFTP cable the best choice for high-frequency trading systems?
A2: High-frequency trading systems require ultra-stable, low-latency and zero-disruption data transmission. Cat7 SFTP cable's 600MHz ultra-high bandwidth ensures 10Gbps low-latency transmission, and the S/FTP double shielding structure can completely isolate external EMI interference, avoiding signal delay or error caused by electromagnetic interference, and the pure OFC conductor ensures minimal signal loss, fully meeting the strict requirements of high-frequency trading for network stability.
Q3: Can Cat7 SFTP cable be compatible with lower grade connectors (such as Cat6 RJ45)?
A3: Cat7 SFTP cable is physically compatible with standard RJ45 connectors (Cat6/Cat6A), but to exert its 10Gbps ultra-high speed and full shielding performance, it is recommended to match it with Cat7 dedicated shielded RJ45 connectors and patch panels, and ensure the entire link shielding is continuous and reliably grounded, otherwise the transmission performance and anti-interference effect will be limited.
Q4: What are the key points of long-term maintenance of Cat7 SFTP cable?
A4: The core maintenance points focus on the shielding layer and connection part: 1) Regular check the grounding status of the shielding layer to ensure no disconnection or poor contact; 2) Inspect the connector and patch panel connection to avoid loose contact leading to signal attenuation; 3) Keep the cable laying environment dry and away from corrosive gases to prevent jacket aging and conductor corrosion; 4) Avoid frequent bending and pulling of the cable at the turning point to prevent shielding layer damage.
