FAQs
What is the difference between CAT7 and other Ethernet cable types?
CAT7 cables support higher frequencies (600 MHz) and faster speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to older standards like CAT5e or CAT6. They offer better shielding and are suitable for demanding network environments, though most standard office networks run adequately on CAT6.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper provides superior electrical conductivity and signal integrity compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). CCA is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards and is less reliable over distance. 8Ware cables use genuine full copper for compliance and performance.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless refers to a protective tab on the RJ45 connector that prevents the cable clip from catching on switch ports and other obstacles. This reduces damage risk and simplifies cable management, especially in tight spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor UTP cable and is not rated for outdoor or harsh environmental conditions. For outdoor installations, use cables specifically designed with UV-resistant and weather-rated jackets.
Can I use this cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, CAT7 cables support Power over Ethernet applications. However, confirm your PoE device specifications match the cable's rating and consult your network equipment manufacturer for compatibility.
How long can a CAT7 cable be before signal degradation occurs?
The IEEE 802.3 standard recommends a maximum cable run of 100 metres for optimal performance. This 2-metre cable is well within safe limits for signal integrity.
