Nippon Labs 60CAT7-4GY network ethernet cable Cat7 4 ft Gray

Cat7 shielded patch cable, 4 ft

This Cat7 Ethernet cable uses double-shielded SSTP construction with four individually foil-shielded pairs inside an overall braided screen. It is terminated with RJ45 plugs that carry 50 micron gold-plated contacts and moulded strain-relief boots. The 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors follow the T568B wiring scheme and are sheathed in a CM-rated PVC jacket. The 4 ft length suits short runs between adjacent network devices.

600 MHz rating and 100 m channel limit

Cat7 specifications call for transmission frequencies up to 600 MHz over a full 100 m (328 ft) channel of fully shielded copper cabling. This cable meets that bandwidth rating, but the practical segment length for a single patch cord is 4 ft. Installers must ensure the total link — including all patch cords, horizontal cable and cross-connects — does not exceed 100 m to retain Cat7 performance margins.

Shielded RJ45 connectors with gold contacts

The decisive specification is the shielded RJ45 plug fitted with 50 micron gold-plated contacts. That combination maintains the end-to-end screening required by the SSTP design and provides corrosion-resistant mating for Gigabit Ethernet ports. Buyers who need unshielded connectors or a different contact finish should select another cable.
