BU Multimedia Solutions (BU MMS) of Prysmian Group launches the new Draka UCHOME Cat.7A SS22 S/FTP LSHF-FR Dca s1 d1 a1 indoor installation cable in a convenient Reelex box. Designed for private homes, the box contains the ideal cable length of 200 meters. The highly shielded CPR fire protection class Dca s1 d1 a1 copper cable offers high fire safety with the lowest smoke (s1) and acid development (a1), as well as minimised dripping (d1). It also delivers best-in-class performance for Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bt at 90 W) and 25 GBase-T applications, with a maximum bridgeable transmission length of 30 meters. The Category 7A electrical characteristics comply with EN 50173 and 50288.
As multimedia demands grow, home offices expand, and smart home systems multiply, the demands on home cabling are rising. With the Draka UCHOME Cat.7A SS22 S/FTP LSHF-FR Dca s1 d1 a1 network cable, users get a future-proof, investment-proof solution that meets the highest cable standards. With four separately shielded (4P) pairs of wires within a common shield, this copper cable complies with the IEEE 802.3 standard and supports high-speed Ethernet networks (PoE) up to 10 Gbps. It also enables 25 GBase-T applications with a maximum bridgeable transmission length of 30 meters.
Fire-proof and optimally shielded
The UCHOME Cat.7A SS22 cable, with an outer diameter of 7.6 millimetres, delivers best-in-class Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bt with 90 W) thanks to its AWG 22. Compared to AWG23, the copper cable offers 58 percent less power dissipation and 50 percent less cable heating. Like all highly shielded Draka S/FTP installation and connection cables of categories 7, 7A and 8.2, the UCHOME Cat.7A SS22 guarantees triple-1 performance in terms of fire safety: in addition to the high fire protection of CPR class Dca, it offers the lowest smoke (s1) and acid development (a1) and minimised dripping (d1). With optimum shielding in separation class “d”, the copper cable meets the criteria required by EN50174-2 regarding distances or the use of separators in cable routes and achieves the highest shielding class for coupling attenuation Type I and coupling resistance Grade 1 in each case. These properties ensure compliance with statutory EMC regulations (EMC = electromagnetic compatibility) and guarantee consistent protection for the Draka cable and the installed system.
