CAT7A Cables

CAT7A cable is a four-twisted-pair copper data cable defined up to 1000 MHz bandwidth, with dual shielding in an S/FTP construction; it is the extended-frequency upper version of the CAT7 class. It is used on 10 Gbps Ethernet backbones, in data centers, and in structured cabling projects that require a high frequency margin and strong shielding. In this category, Reçber SL1200 series 4x2x23 AWG CAT7A and SL1500 series 4x2x22 AWG CAT7A+ cables, along with Birtaş CAT7A S/FTP cables, are sold by the meter with LSZH or PE sheaths. Choose the conductor gauge according to line length and PoE load, the sheath material according to indoor or outdoor installation, and the reaction-to-fire class according to the project specification. The term CAT7A+ is not a separate class defined in the standard but a manufacturer designation; verify the frequency value of these products from the technical datasheet. CAT7A cable does not replace CAT8 cable, which is defined for 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet; the CAT8 class, defined up to 2000 MHz, is required for these speeds.

How to choose CAT7A Cables

CAT7A cable is a four-twisted-pair copper data cable defined up to 1000 MHz bandwidth, with dual shielding in an S/FTP construction; it is the extended-frequency upper version of the CAT7 class. It is used on 10 Gbps Ethernet backbones, in data centers, and in structured cabling projects that require a high frequency margin and strong shielding.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
