TE Connectivity has introduced Raychem Cat 7 cables. Designed for harsh military marine and defence applications, the ruggedised cables include features that optimise performance under tough conditions. TE’s Cat 7 cables support speeds up to 10 Gb/s over four jacketed, individually shielded and twisted pairs.

Utilising the material sciences expertise developed by Raychem, TE is able to offer options such as a low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket (Zerohal), which is approved to UK Defence Standard 61-12 Part 31. Constructions are available in 23 AWG solid bare copper and 24 AWG stranded tin coated copper that meet IEC 61156-6 electrical requirements for Category 7 cables. ▲ TE Connectivity’s Raychem Cat 7 cables use four jacketed, individually shielded and twisted pairs
