Introduction To Various Performances Of Cat7 Ethernet Cables

What is a CAT7 cable Ethernet cable?

Cat7 cable is a type of copper cable. They are used to create an Ethernet connection in your home or business.

The SFTP CAT7 Cable can be connected to almost any device with an Ethernet port. Cat7 cable is an international standard ISO/IEC 11801 created for wiring in general telecommunications systems. This can be deployed in numerous applications from residential to architectural and factory use.

Cat7 Ethernet cable speed

Cat7 aims to improve on the previous category by having a maximum speed of 10Gb and a frequency of up to 600MHz. It does this by having a tighter twist ratio on the wires, and also includes shielding around the individual wires. Shielding helps protect your cables from EMI and also helps achieve higher frequencies. The fabric you'll see on Cat7 Ethernet cables is S/FTP. This structure has a double shield design. Each of its wires is wrapped with a shield and a shield.

Cat7 maximum length

Cat7 is similar to Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A with a maximum distance of 328 feet (100 meters). This distance includes a 90m trunk cable and a 10m patch cord at the end of the channel. If you run cable longer than this recommended distance rating, you run the risk of signal quality issues and attenuation over longer lengths. This is why it is always recommended that you keep your cable length to 328 feet or less. With all the necessary equipment and proper cable termination, you can run 10Gb over Cat7 up to 328 feet.
