About BELDEN 1885ENH - Cat 7 Enhanced Cable
Category 7 Enhanced Premise Horizontal Cable (1000MHz), 4-Pair, 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, S/FTP, Foam Polyethylene insulation, each pair with Beldfoil shield, overall tinned copper braid shield (30% coverage), LSZH jacket.
SUITABLE APPLICATION: Horizontal and building backbone cable; Support current and future Category 6a, 7 and 7a applications, such as: 10GBase - T (10 Gigabit Ethernet), 1000Base - T (Gigabit Ethernet), 100 Base - T, 10 Base - T, FDDI, ATM
Advanced Shielding for Noise ReductionThe BELDEN 1885ENH cable employs S/FTP construction, featuring an overall tinned copper braid and individual foil shields on each pair. This robust shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring pristine data transmission in environments with high electrical noise, such as industrial automation or data centers.
Halogen-Free and Flame Retardant DesignSafety is a priority with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets that comply with IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60754-1/2. This construction significantly reduces the emission of toxic fumes in case of fire, making the cable ideal for use in enclosed and public spaces requiring stringent fire safety standards.
High Bandwidth and Reliable PerformanceWith a bandwidth of up to 600 MHz and support for 10 Gbps Ethernet, the BELDEN 1885ENH offers fast and reliable data transmission. Its low propagation delay skew and high coupling attenuation ensure robust, consistent networking, making it suitable for backbone cabling and high-speed network infrastructures.
FAQ's of BELDEN 1885ENH - Cat 7 Enhanced Cable:
Q: How is the BELDEN 1885ENH Cat 7 cable typically installed?
A: The cable is designed for indoor use in horizontal and backbone structured cabling, including trays or conduits. During installation, a minimum bend radius of 8 times the cable's outer diameter and a maximum pulling force of 100 N should be observed to maintain optimal performance.
Q: What benefits does the halogen-free, flame-retardant LSZH jacket provide?
A: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic gas and smoke emission in the event of a fire, meeting IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60754-1/2 standards. This enhances safety, especially in sensitive or enclosed environments like data centers and commercial buildings.
Q: When should you choose BELDEN 1885ENH over standard network cables?
A: This cable is ideal when high bandwidth (up to 600 MHz), superior EMI protection, halogen-free composition, and compliance with strict flame retardance standards are required-such as in backbone cabling, data centers, or EMI-sensitive industrial setups.
Q: Where is the BELDEN 1885ENH Cat 7 cable best utilized?
A: It's best suited for environments demanding high-speed, interference-free networking. Typical applications include data centers, backbone infrastructure, industrial automation, and installations where fire safety and low EMI are critical.
Q: What process ensures compliance with international standards for this cable?
A: BELDEN 1885ENH is manufactured to meet ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50288-9-1, and IEC 61156-5 standards. Rigorous quality control and material selection-including bare copper conductors and LSZH jackets-guarantee performance and safety compliance.
Q: How does the enhanced shielding design benefit network performance?
A: The combination of an overall tinned copper braid and individual foil shields around each pair significantly lowers crosstalk and EMI, supporting clearer, more reliable data transmission even in electrically noisy environments.
Q: What are the key usage scenarios for this Cat 7 enhanced cable?
A: It is commonly used for 10 Gbps Ethernet, structured cabling in smart buildings, industrial networks, and backbone connections where reliable, high-speed data transfer and advanced fire/EMI protection are essential.
