UTP Cat7 Patch Cord Cable - The Most Powerful Ethernet Patch Cord Cable

The Most Powerful Ethernet Patch Cord Cable

As technology advances and networks become more complex, the need for dependable, high-performance networking cables is ever-increasing. For example, data center backbone connectivity is increasingly essential to accommodate cloud computing, streaming, and a variety of server applications.

Cat 7 is the latest ethernet patch cable standard to be introduced, and it offers advanced performance and superior features over other lower-category options. The CAT7 cable is designed to deliver speeds up to 10 Gbps, over longer distances than previous versions.

Unlike older, more commonly used Cat6 Ethernet wire, the newer version is better shielded against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) by being double-shielded (both individual wire twists and the cable as a whole). This makes it an excellent choice for long-distance LAN connections that are exposed to the elements, or in noisy environments.

What Is UTP?

There are a couple of different types of twisted-pair design to choose from when selecting an Ethernet cable, the two most common being UTP and F/UTP. The former, commonly called UTP Cat7 (A), refers to a single foil screen encasing the four pairs of twisted copper wires beneath the exterior jacketing.

STP and FTP are also available, each of which identifies the level of extra shielding surrounding the four pairs of twisted copper wires within the cable. Shielded Twisted Pair and Foiled Twisted Pair are both more robust than UTP designs, and help to protect against signal loss to a slightly greater extent.
