To achieve this shielding was added for individual wire pairs and the cable as a whole.
Category 7 cable speed.
Where cables like cat 5 cat 5e cat 6 and even cat 8 are quite typical cat7 is a little different.
Cat which stands for category defines a cable s specifications.
A category 7 cable more commonly known as a cat 7 or cat 7 cable is used for the cabling infrastructure of gigabit ethernet.
Category 5 cat 5 and category 5 enhanced cat 5e are actually basically the same.
It offers a 100 meter 4 connector channel using shielded cabling and has been designed to transmit signals at a frequency of 600 mhz.
Cat5 cat6 and cat7 with some variations.
Cat 7 cables reach up to 100gbps at a range of 15 meters making them an.
Categories are backward compatible.
Nothing changed physically in the cable itself.
Ethernet cables come in all shapes lengths and sizes but the biggest differentiating factor between them is their category.
A category 7 cable cat 7 cable is a type of shielded twisted pair cable used in high speed ethernet based computer networks of 1 gbps or higher.
Cat is short for category and generally denotes the speed the cable is able to.
That speed comes with a price however as cat 6 cables are more expensive than cat 5 and cat 5e variants.
The most important parameters are maximum transmission speed shielding the supported distance and price.
One is an rj 45 compatible gg 45 connector.
Unshielded cables rely on the quality of the twists to protect from emi.
Category 7 class f cable can be terminated with two interface designs as specified in iec 6063 7 7 and iec 61076 3 104.
The other is the more common tera connector which was launched in 1999.
Class f features even stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise than class e.
These days the choices comes down to a handful of different types.
Class f channel and category 7 cable are backward compatible with class d category 5e and class e category 6.
A cat 7 cable offers performance of up to 600mhz.
A category 7 cable for instance is backward compatible with category 6 and category 5e.
It supports high speed ethernet communication up to 10 gbps.
Cat7 cable is otherwise called category 7 ethernet cable.
It is defined and specified in the iso iec 11801 2002 class f specification.
The cat 7 cable is backward compatible with cat 6 cat 5 and cat 5 e cabling standard and equipments.
That denotes both their performance which is directly related to their shielding against crosstalk and exterior noise.
