Using SFTP CAT7 cable with double shielding is ideal when you’re aiming for top-tier performance, maximum interference protection, and stable high-speed data transmission, especially in environments with a lot of EMI (electromagnetic interference), like industrial, server, or telecommunication settings.
S/FTP = Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair
S (overall shield): Braided shield (usually tinned copper) surrounding all pairs.
F/TP (individual pair shield): Each twisted pair is wrapped in foil.
This dual shielding setup:
Blocks external interference (e.g., from motors, fluorescent lights).
Reduces crosstalk between cable pairs.
Ensures cleaner signal over long distances.
Superior EMI/RFI protection: Ideal near high-power equipment or dense wiring setups.
Stable 10Gbps transmission over 100 meters.
Better data integrity in mission-critical systems.
Suitable for PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) with proper installation.
Gold-plated shielded connectors further enhance performance.
Ground the braided shield properly for full shielding benefit.
Use shielded RJ45 connectors and keystone jacks.
Avoid sharp bends or kinks to maintain cable integrity.
Maintain recommended minimum bend radius (usually 4x cable diameter).
