Cat 7 Outdoor Ethernet Cable with a PE Sheath
Cat 7 outdoor Ethernet cable from ETK Kablo combines solid copper conductors, S/FTP screening and a UV-resistant polyethylene sheath. This PE version serves outdoor fixed network installations where the project requires screened copper cabling.
It belongs to our Cat 7 cable range. Select the sheath and mechanical protection for your route, then request a quotation with the required quantity and delivery details.
Bulk Cable Configuration and Packing
The published configuration is a four-pair, 23 AWG cable. The table below summarises the ordering format; the Types and Electrical Properties sections provide the detailed product data.
| Cable | Pair Count | Conductor Size | Packing Lengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 7 S/FTP PE | 4 pairs / 8 conductors | 23 AWG, solid copper | 500 / 1000 m |
Bulk cable allows installers to cut lengths for individual routes. Drum length is a supply format, not the permitted length of an Ethernet channel. State your required drum quantities when requesting a price.
S/FTP Screening for Outdoor Network Cabling
S/FTP combines an overall braid screen with individually foil-screened twisted pairs. The pair foils help control crosstalk, while the braid supports protection against external electromagnetic interference.
For consistent performance, preserve pair geometry during termination and use compatible screened connecting hardware. Follow the installation design for bonding, cable separation and screen continuity.
600 MHz Performance and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
The published electrical data for this product extends to 600 MHz. Category 7 is associated with Class F cabling; Category 7A extends the specified frequency range to 1000 MHz.
A compliant Category 7 channel can support 10GBASE-T over 100 metres. Actual link performance depends on the complete channel, including connecting hardware, patch cords and installation quality. Specify the required channel test before installation and verify the completed link.
For a project that explicitly requires Category 7A, see our Cat 7A cable range.
Choosing the Cable for the Installation Route
| Project Requirement | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Outdoor exposure | The PE version has a UV-resistant outer sheath. Check the route’s moisture exposure and mechanical protection requirements. |
| Underground ducts or direct burial | Confirm the exact installation with ETK Kablo. A PE sheath alone does not establish suitability for standing water or direct contact with soil. |
| Steel wire armour | Review the Cat 7 SWA cable against the project’s mechanical and environmental requirements. |
| Indoor low-smoke requirements | Review the Cat 7 LSOH cable and request the fire-performance documents required for the building. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an armoured Cat 7 cable?
No. Its copper braid provides electromagnetic screening. Specify a separate armoured construction when the route requires steel wire protection.
Can this PE cable be buried directly?
Direct-burial suitability requires confirmation for the selected construction and site conditions. Describe soil contact, water exposure and mechanical risks in your enquiry.
Is this a Cat 7 UTP cable?
No. This product uses S/FTP screening. U/UTP, U/FTP and F/FTP describe different screening arrangements and should not replace S/FTP in the order specification.
Is this a pre-terminated Ethernet patch cord?
No. The listed product is bulk installation cable. Select connecting hardware compatible with the conductor size, cable dimensions and required channel performance.
Does a higher MHz rating automatically make my network faster?
No. Cable bandwidth and Ethernet data rate are different specifications. Network equipment and the performance of the complete installed channel determine the usable connection speed.
