Cat 7 Ethernet Cable

[Mahamood-ka]

Specifications of the Cat 7 Ethernet Cable


Category 7 cable = cat 7
cat 7 cable is class F
class F : up to 600 MHz using elements category 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 -
Cat-7 cabling supports frequencies of up to 600 Mhz and speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 -
Cat 7a cables can perform up to frequencies of 1000 Mhz and 40 Gbit/s
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 -
, This is a big improvement on previous network cabling speeds (CAT 3: 10 Mhz
CAT 5: 100Mhz, CAT 6: 250 Mhz)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 -
CAT7 cables feature even more strict specifications for crosstalk and system noise

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 -
Cat-7 network cables can be used for 1000Base-TX, 100Base-T & 10Base-T networking and Cat-7a cables can go up to 10Gbase-T = 10-Gigabit Ethernet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 -
· There are two types of Cat7 cables. One of them is a cross-over cable that is used to connect two devices directly to eachother, eg. a PC directly to another PC or a Hub to another Hub

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 -
the majority of Cat7 cables are straight through cables, and these are used to
connect computers to hubs and switches
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 -
Twisted wire pairs to be fully shielded
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAT7 Cables Summary

also known as class F, this fully-shielded cable is relatively new and isn't used as much at the moment. Cat 7 cables support frequencies of up to 600Mhz



used as a cabling infrastructurefor 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), or GbE
and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 GbE) networks
The Cat 7 standard provides performance of up to 600 MHz (1000 MHz for the Cat-7a,
or Augmented Category 7 standard) and can be used up to a maximum length of 100 meters
