Product Information

Full details

This Lindy 15m Cat.7 S/FTP LSZH network cable is ideal for demanding network environments like data centers and server rooms requiring stable, high-speed connections. Its key benefit is reliable 10 GBase-T Ethernet support up to 600MHz, ensured by robust shielding and gold-plated connectors. A potential caveat is that while it uses RJ45 connectors, the Cat.7 standard originally defined different connectors; however, modern RJ45 connectors are designed to meet these requirements.

FAQs

What does S/FTP LSZH mean?

S/FTP stands for 'Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair', indicating that each twisted pair of wires is individually foil-shielded, and the entire cable bundle is also braided-shielded. LSZH means 'Low Smoke Zero Halogen', referring to the cable jacket material which emits very little smoke and no toxic halogens when burned.

Can I use this cable with a Cat.6 network?

Yes, this Cat.7 cable is backward compatible with Cat.6 networks and devices. However, your network speed will be limited by the slowest component, likely Cat.6 speeds in this case.

What is the maximum frequency supported by this cable?

This Cat.7 cable supports bandwidth up to 600 MHz.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use within a specific operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C). Outdoor conditions may damage the cable and affect its performance.

Why does the cable imprint mention Cat.6A if it's Cat.7?

The cable itself uses Cat.7 raw cable material, but the RJ45 connectors are rated for Cat.6A. This is a common practice as RJ45 connectors, while not originally defined for Cat.7, have evolved to meet its performance requirements when used with appropriate raw cable.

Troubleshooting

No network connection or intermittent connection.

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports. Check that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly. Try a different network port or a different cable to isolate the issue.

Slow network speeds.

Verify that the cable is connected to ports that support the expected speeds (e.g., 10 GBase-T). Ensure there are no other bottlenecks in the network. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors.

Connector latch breaks or becomes loose.

Use the snagless strain relief to guide the cable during insertion and removal. If the latch is damaged, the connector may need to be replaced by a qualified technician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high bandwidth (600MHz) for future-proofing and demanding applications.
  • Robust S/FTP shielding effectively combats electromagnetic interference.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable, low-loss signal transmission.
  • Snagless design protects connectors and simplifies installation.
  • LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in sensitive environments.

Cons

  • Cat.7 standard historically used different connectors (though RJ45 is now compatible).
  • The 15m length may be excessive for shorter runs, potentially leading to cable management challenges.
  • Shielded cables can sometimes be less flexible than unshielded alternatives.
  • Requires compatible Cat.7 or Cat.6A ports for full performance benefits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (e.g., router, switch, computer) and the other into your network port. Ensure a firm click is felt to confirm the connection is secure.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports Ethernet standards up to 10 GBase-T and is backward compatible with Cat.6A, Cat.6, and Cat.5e networks. For optimal performance, connect it between devices or network components that also support Cat.7 or Cat.6A specifications.

Care:

  • Avoid kinking the cable sharply; maintain gentle bends.
  • Protect the connectors from dust and moisture when not in use.
  • Clean the cable jacket with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure the cable is kept within the operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.
