Cat7 Rail Data Cables

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces the new high performance, networking cables for railway Ethernet applications - Raychem CAT7 rail data cables. This new cable reaches data rates up to 10Gbps, expanding design capabilities into broader bandwidth Ethernet applications. The enhanced design enables designers to balance performance requirements with installation time, lowering total costs and assuring system performance. Currently Raychem Cat5e is the predominant cable type used in the Rail industry but with ever increasing data rate demands this technology allows future proofing to be built in whenever cables are installed or replaced.
