With so much choice out there for Cat 7 Cable Raychem have introduced a range into the market that is surprisingly different, no easy feat in such a crowded market.
What do we know about Cat 7 and the challenges of Copper Cable Systems? One of the biggest challenges with Cat 7 Systems is the ability to create the bandwidth required with cooper-based cables. At this level we are really pushing at the edges of what copper can achieve.
According to TE “Utilizing the material sciences expertise developed by Raychem, TE is able to offer a multitude of options such as the low smoke, zero halogen jacket (ZEROHAL), which is approved to UK Defense Standard 61-12 Part 31. Constructions are available in 23 AWG solid bare copper and 24 AWG stranded tin coated copper that meet IEC 61156-6 electrical requirements for Category 7 cables.
“Our Raychem Cat 7 cables are designed for versatility and performance,” said Mark Johnstone, product manager for TE’s Aerospace, Defense and Marine division. “These cables are Raychem harness system compatible and can be used with other TE products like CeeLok FAS-T or CeeLok FAS-X connectors, making system integration easier for our customers.”
TE’s Raychem Cat 7 cables are designed for a variety of military and defence applications. Among these are missile warning systems, radio communication, remote weapon systems, fire control systems and high-speed networking.
So, with the crossover for industrial uses this really is bringing Cat 7 into a wider never before thought of industries such as industrial and defence.
Let’s look at the technical specifications:
- 92% braid coverage, rather than the industry-standard 40% coverage
- Constructions are available with 23AWG solid, bare copper wire or 24AWG stranded, tin-coated copper wire
- Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) or FDR-25 outer jackets in up to 10 colours depending on the jackets
- Standard Impedance (Nom): 100 Ω @ 1-600 MHz
- Attenuation (Max.) at 600 MHz: dependent upon conductor type
- Mutual Capacitance (Max.) at 1 kHz: 5.6 nF/100 m
- DC Resistance (Nom.) at 20°C: 145 ohm/1km
They are really packing a lot into this cable and it is so universal I can see may applications for its uses. If you are already working worth Cat 7 or involved in Ethernet into Networking / Devices this is well worth further investigation.
I barely need to mention this, but I will, with Raychem you know you are getting a quality product and if you work in environments where quality, consistency and performance is a must then you really need look no further!
This is the last blog of the year so we will take this opportunity to thank you for reading our articles we really hope that you have enjoyed them and perhaps found out about new and interesting products along the way.
