Expert Features

• S/FTP Dual-Layer Shielding : Each of the four twisted pairs is individually shielded, with an additional overall braid surrounding the complete cable core. This architecture is specifically intended to improve isolation from electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between neighboring cables.
• Purpose-Built Outdoor Construction : The NCTS-ONSF071 is the outdoor member of NCTS’s CAT7 S/FTP range, using an inner PVC jacket plus a separate PE outer jacket rather than the simpler jacket structure of the indoor version.
• Improved Crosstalk Control : NCTS specifically highlights the CAT7 pair-shield design for reducing unwanted interaction between adjacent network cables, particularly useful where multiple structured-cabling runs share the same pathway.
• Anti-EMI Signal Protection : The combination of individual pair shields and overall braid creates multiple barriers between the Ethernet signal and external electrical interference, helping maintain cleaner transmission in electrically noisy installations.
• 23AWG Solid CCA Conductors : This exact version uses 0.58mm solid Copper-Clad Aluminum conductors. “Solid” describes the conductor construction; the actual conductor material is CCA, not pure copper.
• 500MHz Rated Bandwidth : NCTS specifies operation at up to 500MHz, giving the cable substantially more frequency headroom than basic lower-category structured network cabling.
• Documented 1000Base-T Application : The manufacturer specifically describes the ONSF071 for 1000Base-T Ethernet, so Gigabit Ethernet is a documented application without needing to inflate the listing with unsupported higher-speed claims.
• Four Individually Managed Twisted Pairs : Eight insulated conductors are arranged as four twisted pairs, with each pair maintaining its own shield before all four are enclosed by the external braid.
• Dedicated Inner + Outer Jacket System : A new PVC inner jacket and new PE outer jacket give this outdoor model a distinctly different construction from its indoor counterpart while protecting the shielded cable core.
• Controlled 100Ω Electrical Geometry : The specified 100Ω ±15% impedance reflects the controlled balanced-cabling geometry required for Ethernet signal transmission.
• Wide Operating Temperature Window : The cable is specified for operation from -40°C to +70°C, providing useful environmental tolerance for fixed outdoor-network infrastructure.
