What is UTP Cat7 Patch Cord Cable?

If you need to add an Ethernet connection between two computers, or between a computer and an access point or router, you’ll need UTP CAT7 patch cable. This is the most popular LAN cable because it’s easy to use, inexpensive and can support up to 10-Gigabit speeds.

This UTP Cat7 Patch Cord Cable has 4 twisted pairs for increased speed and is made with booted metal connectors to protect against EMI/RFI interference. It is ideal for indoor applications where it can be installed under carpets, baseboards or door strips.

Generally, the most commonly used Ethernet cables for connectivity within local area networks (LAN) are based on twisted wire pairs inside the overall cable. This enables currents to balance, allowing for more reliable communication over longer distances without the need for special precautions.

The most common types of Ethernet cables in commercial network installations are Cat 5, Cat 6 and Cat 7 all of which use twisted wire pairs inside the cable to enable data transfer at speeds of up to 100Mbps or slightly more for 1000Base-T. This twisted pair construction also allows for internal crosstalk (XT) and external crosstalk (AXT) to be avoided.

Unlike the previous versions of Cat 7, where only F/UTP was used, Cat7 STP and FTP are more advanced versions that feature a protective foil screening wrapped around each pair of twisted wires inside the cable. This is a step closer to optimal protection than the previous version, making it more likely that the cable will withstand the demands of a busy network.
