What is cat7 cable?

Cat7 cable is a type of Ethernet cable, also known as a network cable or LAN (Local Area Network) cable. It has the ability to handle faster data transfer speeds and is capable of transmitting data at 10 Gigabits per second over a distance of 100 meters.

Cat7 cable has a larger diameter than other Ethernet cables, which means it can handle more data at once and provides a better noise reduction, resulting in less electromagnetic interference. It supports more advanced networking protocols and is designed for high-performance applications such as gaming, video streaming, and large file transfers.

Cat7 cable is also backward compatible with older Ethernet standards, which means it can work seamlessly with devices that use Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cables. However, it can be more expensive than other types of cables and is typically used in professional settings rather than home networks.
