Overview
Reliable High-Speed Connectivity for Demanding Networks
Ensure optimal performance with the Monoprice Cat7 Ethernet Network Patch Cable. Designed for high-bandwidth environments, this shielded cable delivers superior speed and reliability for all your networking needs.
- Cable Length: 1 feet
- Cable Type: Cat7
- AWG: 26AWG
- Shielding: Shielded (S/FTP)
- Bandwidth: Tested to 600MHz
Key Features
Flexible Design: When space is at a premium, Monoprice Cat7 helps reduce congestion. At 30% thinner than traditional 23 AWG Cat7 cables, these cables also feature a snagless boot design. These compact, snagless, and flexible cables are easier to cleanly route in high density environments.
Future Proof: Monoprice Cat7 cable is considered the most durable with a longer lifespan than Cat5 and Cat6 cables and is the best choice for wiring with the future in mind.
The 50µm gold plated contacts offer maximum corrosion resistance for the most reliable connections | Available in lengths from 6 inches to 100 feet
Superior Performance: This cable is perfect for 10G Ethernet environments and is backwards compatible with any existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet network.
Specifications
Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- The cable is designed to be 30% thinner than traditional 23 AWG Cat7, allowing for easier routing in tight spaces.
- It features a snagless boot design, which helps prevent damage during installation and removal from crowded ports.
- Equipped with 50µm gold-plated contacts, this cable offers maximum corrosion resistance for reliable network connections.
- This Monoprice Cat7 cable provides superior performance for 10G Ethernet environments and maintains backwards compatibility.
- Its future-proof design and longer lifespan compared to Cat5 and Cat6 cables make it a durable connectivity choice.
👎 Cons
- The specific listing is for a 1ft cable, which is quite short and may not be suitable for many common network setups.
- While flexible, the "30% thinner" claim refers to 23 AWG Cat7, without explicitly stating its exact gauge or thickness.
- The benefits of Cat7, such as higher frequency support, might be overkill for home users not running 10G Ethernet or requiring shielded twisted pairs.
- The "future proof" claim is subjective and depends on evolving network standards, which could surpass Cat7 capabilities over time.
