S-STP Category 7 Installation Cable
Signamax Category 7 shielded installation cable complies with the most stringent parameters with
significant headroom for installation safety. Selected design goes hand-in-hand with the best quality
which, with strictly controlled production, guarantees the highest performance. The shielded
Category 7 installation cable is produced in S-STP configuration (PimF—Pair in metal foil) and is
tested up to 900 MHz. Its excellent performance ensures full compatibility with all new high-speed
data protocols, such as 10GBaseT. Foamed PE insulated conductors in the cable have the pairs
shielded by aluminum foil (each pair separately) and copper braid (all four pairs). Sheath material is
supported by fire retardant halogen free compound. Signamax Category 7 shielded installation cable
complies with the latest standards as specified in EN 50173-1 and ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
