Our range of Cat7 flat low profile cables run much faster Cat 6 or Cat5 cables but are backwardly compatible. With a height of just over 2mm they re perfect for under carpets or floor boards. So what s the difference between Cat 5e Cat 6 and Cat 7 cables? There are two main factors to look at when comparing network cables. The first is the speed (bandwidth) and the other the frequency (MHz). The Speed determines how much data (bandwidth) can be sent through the cable. Cat 7 cables have a maximum speed/bandwidth of 10 000 Mbit/s but Cat 6 carries a lower 1000Mbit/s and the cat 5e range of cables carry up to 1000Mbit/s. The Frequency or MHz indicates how often the signal can pass through the cable. Cat 7 cables have a very high frequency at 600Mhz but Cat 6 only has 250Mhz and Cat5e 100Mhz. Overall a Cat 7 cable will allow more bandwidth at a faster rate than the previous Cat 6 or Cat5e Cables. Cat5e Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 100mhz Cat6 Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 250mhz Cat6a Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s 500mhz Cat7 Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s 600mhz FULL COPPER Shielded Cable Our range of Flat Cat7 Cables are shielded to eliminate the chance of cross talk and interference from near by devices. The FTP (Foil Twisted Pairs) are made from full copper strands delivering super fast speeds to your gamin console TV PC Laptop Mac amongst other devices. Full copper cables are suitable for POE devices such as Access points WIFI Range extenders CCTV or networking switches that need to carry power via the Ethernet cable to a POE port. Low Profile Design Our flat range of Cat7 cables are perfect for hiding under carpets and floorboards thank to the flat 2.4mm profile. 7.5mm Width x 2.4mm Height Low Profile Cable up to 10000 Mbit/s and 600Mhz Transfer Speeds Backwardly compatible with Cat6a/Cat6/Cat5e/Cat5e Ports Available in a range of lengths REACH Compliant Shielded Cable to eliminate cross talk and interference ROHS Compliant FTP Shielded Cable Suitable for POE (Full Copper C.
