Cat.7 flexible cables that last longer

With immediate effect, Datwyler is replacing its CU 7702 4P flexible cable, including the industrial PUR, BOL and SHF1 variants, with new versions with tin-coated copper braids – an “upgrade” that will give these patch and connection cables a longer service life and greater corrosion resistance.

Datwyler’s CU 7702 4P Flex cables have individually screened pairs (PiMF) and an additional copper braid as an overall shield. This design ensures optimum NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) and impedance values, which, in turn, minimizes interference and improves signal quality.

These category 7 cables allow data transmission rates of up to 10 Gbit/s, support the transmission of digital and analogue speech, image, multimedia and data signals and are suitable for all ICT network applications up to Class F. And because they are optimized for multimedia applications in the CATV frequency range up to 862 MHz, they allow the transmission of broadband signals such as cable TV. They are also compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (up to 4PPoE) and can therefore be used for connecting wireless access points, for example.

The CU 7702 4P Flex cables come in different colors and cover fire classes D_ca, C_ca and B2_ca. This allows for a wide range of applications in different environments, including office buildings, data centers and industrial installations. The SHF1 cable can also be used in offshore and marine applications.

The cable sheath is characterized by its improved fire performance (FRNC/LS0H); PVC options to Euroclass E_ca are also available on request. The new 5-colour coding of the wires – white/blue, white/orange, white/green, white/brown – helps achieve fault-free installation and efficient network infrastructure management.
