About this deal

It will be laying this 300 foot Ethernet cable on the ground and through some weeds etc and it WILL be exposed to rain and about 100 feet of it will have constant direct exposure to the sun the temperatures range from 35°-75°-110° in East County San Diego (no snow). Instead, over the years Cat 6, then Cat 6A, and more recently, Cat8 Ethernet cables have become more common as networks are built and upgraded, and Cat 7 has largely been sidelined. When choosing between the 2 categories you must consider the use of the cable and the required length. In 2022 many of the country’s largest internet service providers unveiled multi-gig abit internet plans across the nation, and that looks set to continue in 2023 . In addition to enthusiast gaming setups, Cat7 cables have become increasingly popular with home users across a wide range of domestic LAN cable networks and connectivity setups in recent years.

While an IEC vote of 18 countries chose TERA connectors as the official connector for Cat 7 (IEC 61076-3-104), my experience with TERA connectors has been that getting them connected and disconnected in patch panels is a pain and can sometimes hurt your fingers, and due to the way the connectors are so long, when plugged into network sockets mounted at skirting board level for connecting end-user computers/phones etc, not only do the cables often get damaged/broken from being forced at 90 degree bends to fit behind desks, but also the sockets themselves are easily damaged/broken when connectors are forced/kicked or hit by hoovers etc. Unlike CAT 5/6a where the connector fits almost wholly inside the socket with just the cable and protective boot or moulding coming out and able to bend, the TERA connectors stick out from the socket by a good inch before the cable comes out and the connector is solid/rigid and so when pressure is applied to the sides, e. One interesting thing to note is that, although this cat 7 cable is noticeably thicker than previous ethernet cables, the cat 6 crimpers DO NOT seem to have much trouble stripping the internal wires (necessary to make the fatter wires fit standard RJ45s) and connecting them up with the RJ45s. However, in terms of Cat6 cable vs Cat7, it would be misleading to claim that either was ‘better’ per se.

All cables are based on real engineering and not voodoo, from the selection of raw materials to the actual cable construction and thereby the final sound properties. because I’m NOT willing to take the risk of broadcasting my bosses guest Wi-Fi network 300 feet Wirelessly to my motorhome (snooping/hacking)… Running this cable will provide more stability and privacy than doing it wirelessly.

The load bars are also included and assist in conductor alignment to provide a quality install the first time. It’s not going to make a comeback, and against the likes of Cat6A and Cat8 cables, it doesn’t stand a chance considering their widespread and ever-increasing adoption.It’s a shielded twisted pair cable, used principally in achieving high-speed Ethernet connections at data transfer rates of 1 Gbps or higher between directly linked servers, switches and computer networks. Personally, I recommend the GG45 connector type for Cat 7, but would advise you stick to Cat 6a connectors for now until GG45 is more widely supported on network switches and NICs or TERA connectors are significantly improved. Its stable and fast network transmission performance meets the high network speed requirements of video games, online offices, teleconferences, data rooms, etc.

That doesn't preclude anyone from using Cat7 cables, but it does mean many are less inclined to do so. Remember whilst Cat6a uses the RJ-45 interface, you will need to use Cat6a rated RJ-45 terminators/connectors on the cable and not some spare Cat5 rated connectors.I've got cat7 through the house which came with RJ45 connectors, which was necessary at the time because of less than ideal router location requirments and distance. All I need is a 10m Ethernet cable that will connect a Sony TV type KDL - 32WD752 to a Plusnet router which I think is the latest type. Key considerations here will generally include the capabilities of individual hardware components elsewhere in the system, and the rated speeds you have access to through your Internet Service Provider. These prefixes relate to the various configurations used for the wire shielding inside the body of the cable, and can potentially affect anything from cable weight and flexibility to cost-effectiveness and performance. I've done that a few times and if your network switch has a sfpm type connector you're in good shape.

It’s a dead standard that isn’t going to see any further adoption and its benefits are easily matched and outweighed by competitor cables, like Cat 6A, or the latest and greatest, Cat8. With its one-step termination process, this connector offers outstanding shielding performance and reduces external interferences. I’m going to run a 300 foot Ethernet cable from my motorhome to the roof of my bosses office and plug it into a special Wi-Fi range extender in repeater mode.While it’s certainly true that very few typical home hardware setups will support anything like the sorts of data transfer speeds and bandwidths that Cat7(a) Ethernet cabling can, using the highest revision wire you can will still offer potential performance boosts in many basic router-to-device networking scenarios. Cat7 cables are also compatible with the TERA connector , although that has also seen very little use in the industry. Unfortunately, this strays further from the plans of the IEEE, which ratified in 2016 (six years after Cat7A was ratified) that Ethernet cables officially supporting 40 Gbps speeds would require support for up to 2,000MHz, meaning Cat8 cables are the only ones to officially support such speeds. If you are running a data center or really interested in future-proofing your network and want more than Cat6A has to offer, then you’d be better off choosing a Cat8 cable .
