Monoprice 131373 Cat7 Ethernet Cable 5ft Red

The Monoprice 131373 Cat7 Ethernet cable is a 5-foot network patch cord designed for high-bandwidth environments where signal integrity matters. Built with 26AWG conductors and F/STP shielding, the cable wraps each twisted pair in foil and encloses the entire bundle in an additional shield, significantly reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. This makes it particularly useful when routing cables near power lines, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of electrical noise. Tested to 600 MHz, the cable comfortably supports 10 Gbps data transfer rates for demanding applications like NAS file transfers, media streaming, and online gaming.

At just 5.7mm in diameter, the cable is relatively slim for a shielded design, making it easier to manage and route through cable trays or behind furniture. The red color helps with visual identification in setups with multiple Ethernet runs. While the 5-foot length is well-suited for connecting devices to a nearby switch or router, buyers who need to span longer distances will need to choose a longer variant. For short, high-quality network connections, this Monoprice Cat7 cable delivers dependable performance without a premium price tag.
