Cabo de rede EFB Elektronik MK7101DX.500-CPR

The EFB Elektronik MK7101DX.500-CPR is a Cat7 networking cable supplied in a 500 m length and finished in high-visibility orange. Designed for environments that require secure, high-speed data links, this S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is suitable for structured cabling in commercial and industrial installations. The cable construction prioritizes signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference while offering a robust outer sheath for installation durability.

Advantages

This Cat7 S/FTP cable delivers consistent high-speed performance for demanding networking tasks while its shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference. The orange jacket improves visibility for installation and maintenance, helping to identify runs in dense cabling environments. With a focus on reliable data transmission, the cable is suitable for long continuous runs and professional installations where reduced signal loss and stable throughput are required.

Suitable for

• Backbone and horizontal structured cabling in offices and data rooms
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s
• Environments requiring protection from electromagnetic interference (S/FTP shielding)
• Visible cable routing where orange colour aids identification and safety

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for fixed installation in structured cabling systems and may be less suitable for applications requiring frequent flexing or movement, such as patch cords or portable links. In situations where higher than 10 Gbit/s performance or specific fibre-optic characteristics are required, a fibre-optic solution or higher-category engineered system should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid/foil)
• Length: 500 m
• Colour: Orange
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Conductor gauge: 23 AWG
• Jacket type: low-smoke, halogen-free variant suitable for indoor installations where reduced smoke and corrosive gases are required

How to use

Install the cable as part of a structured cabling system following standard practices for Cat7 cabling. Route the cable through cable trays, conduits, or underfloor systems avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. Terminate the cable with compatible Cat7 or screened RJ45 connectors and use shielding-aware patch panels and grounding to preserve the S/FTP performance. Label both ends and test the installed links with appropriate certification tools for continuity, attenuation, and crosstalk to verify up to 10 Gbit/s operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your network equipment (patch panels, connectors, switches) supports shielded Cat7 cabling and proper grounding
• Verify that a 500 m spool length suits your planned cable runs and installation logistics
• Check environmental and fire-safety requirements to ensure the jacket type matches local regulations

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded terminations and ensure continuous shielding continuity to equipment earth. Test each run after installation with a certified tester to document performance up to 10 Gbit/s and to detect installation issues such as improper termination or excessive bend radii.
