Cordial CSE 10 HH 7A - Professional Network Cable CAT 7A S/FTP 10m
The Cordial CSE 10 HH 7A is a high-performance network cable designed to meet the demands of the most challenging professional environments. At 10 meters long, this CAT 7A cable ensures ultra-fast and reliable data transmission, reaching frequencies up to 1000 MHz. It is the ideal solution for applications that cannot compromise on speed and stability, such as digital audio networks, DMX over IP lighting control, EtherSound™ systems, and high-speed corporate networks.
Built to last, the cable features a robust PUR (polyurethane) outer jacket, providing exceptional flexibility and superior resistance to abrasion, oils, microbes, and harsh environmental conditions. This makes it perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor use, from recording studios and offices to stages and live events. Its internal structure with flexible copper conductors (AWG 26/7) ensures long-lasting durability against constant handling and coiling.
For superior electromagnetic protection, the CSE 10 HH 7A utilizes dual S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding. This system consists of an overall braided mesh shield that encloses all four conductor pairs, each of which is further protected by a metal foil (PiMF - Pairs in Metal Foil). This advanced shielding design effectively eliminates crosstalk and external interference, ensuring a clean, error-free signal even in environments with high cable density and electronic equipment.
Equipped with high-quality HIROSE® RJ45 connectors, this cable offers a secure and stable connection. It also includes transparent heat-shrink tubing on both ends for easy identification and labeling—an essential feature for organized and professional cable management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CAT 7 and CAT 7A?
The main difference is bandwidth. While the CAT 7 standard is specified for frequencies up to 600 MHz, the CAT 7A category doubles that capacity, reaching up to 1000 MHz. This translates into greater performance headroom and better readiness for future network technologies.
Can I use this cable with CAT 6 or CAT 5e devices?
Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible. The RJ45 connectors are standard and will work perfectly with lower-category devices and networks. However, the connection speed will be limited by the lower-category component in the network.
Is S/FTP shielding really necessary?
Yes, especially in professional environments. S/FTP shielding offers the best possible protection against electrical noise generated by power cables, transformers, motors, and other data cables. This is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over long distances and in environments with high electromagnetic interference.
What does it mean for the conductor to be "stranded"?
This means that each of the cable's eight conductors is made up of multiple thin copper strands twisted together, rather than a single solid core. This makes the cable much more flexible and resistant to breakage from bending, ideal for cables that are frequently connected and disconnected or that are not in a fixed installation.
