RE:RE:RE:Software data center
It should last at least as long as the equipment it's connected to. Just reading about data centres, after seven or eight years the equipment is considered obsolete (just like personal computers and laptops etc) and so when the equipment is repleaced so would the cables, but not likely before that unless they do it to reduce power consumption and heat load. It would be interesting to find out from S7 if they are going after this replacement market.
