FAQs
What is the difference between CAT7 and other cable categories?
CAT7 cables support higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to CAT6 (10Gbps theoretical) and CAT5e (1Gbps). They provide better shielding and are designed for demanding network environments requiring future-proofing.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper cores provide superior conductivity and signal integrity compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). CCA cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian standards and can pose performance and safety risks.
Can I use this cable for gigabit speeds?
Yes. The CAT7 cable supports 1000Mbps (1Gbps) and is backwards compatible with 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks. It also supports 10Gbps for future-ready installations.
What does 'snagless' design mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching on other cables during installation and removal, reducing damage and making cable management easier.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my office setup?
3 metres is ideal for typical office configurations, connecting devices within the same room or between nearby network cabinets. For longer distances, consider using additional cables or a network switch.
Is this cable suitable for server or data centre use?
Yes. The full copper construction, robust design, and support for 10Gbps speeds make this cable suitable for professional server and data centre networking applications.
