Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- S/FTP shielding and 600MHz rating provide reliable performance in electrically noisy environments
- 30% thinner than standard 23AWG Cat7 cables, making it easier to manage in dense patch panels
- Gold-plated contacts (50µm) resist corrosion for a long-lasting, stable connection
- Snagless boot design prevents clip breakage during insertion and removal
- Backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks
👎 Cons
- At only 2 feet, it is too short for anything beyond close-proximity connections
- Cat7 is not an officially recognized TIA/EIA standard, so performance claims are vendor-tested
- The thinner 26AWG conductors may have slightly higher resistance over longer lengths compared to 23AWG
- The extra shielding adds slight stiffness compared to unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Cat7 cable different from a standard Cat6 cable?
This Monoprice Cat7 cable is tested to 600MHz bandwidth (versus 250MHz for Cat6) and uses S/FTP shielding, providing better crosstalk rejection and support for 10-gigabit Ethernet over short runs.
Is this cable compatible with standard RJ45 ports and existing network equipment?
Yes, the cable uses standard RJ45 connectors and is fully backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 equipment, so it works with any existing Ethernet devices.
What does the 26AWG gauge mean for this cable?
The 26AWG wire gauge makes the cable approximately 30% thinner than traditional 23AWG Cat7 cables, resulting in a more flexible cable that's easier to route in tight spaces and high-density setups.
What does S/FTP shielding do for this cable?
S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) means each individual pair is foil-shielded and the entire cable has a braided shield, reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more reliable signal transmission.
At 2 feet long, what is this cable best suited for?
A 2-foot cable is ideal for short connections such as linking a router to a nearby switch, connecting a desktop to a wall jack, or patching between devices in a server rack.
