Product Information
Full details
The Kenable Cat7 flat Ethernet cable is an ideal networking solution for home and office users who need high-speed connectivity in tight spaces. It provides up to 10Gbps data transfer speeds and 600MHz frequency, making it perfect for demanding tasks like gaming and 4K streaming. While the flat design allows for discreet installation under carpets or floorboards, users should be mindful that sharp bends or repeated folding of flat cables can eventually compromise internal wire integrity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cable shielded?
Yes, this cable features FTP (Foil Twisted Pairs) shielding, which provides protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference.
Will this work with my Cat5e router?
Yes, the Cat7 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a standards.
Can I use this for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor usage requires UV-rated and waterproof cabling.
Is it possible to cut and terminate this cable?
We do not recommend cutting and re-terminating flat Ethernet cables, as the specialized geometry of the wires can be very difficult to reseat properly.
Does the flat shape affect signal quality?
The flat shape does not negatively affect signal quality, provided the cable is high quality and within the rated length specification for the category.
Troubleshooting
Slow connection speed
Ensure both ends are firmly clicked into the RJ45 ports and check that the device at the other end is capable of 10Gbps negotiation.
Intermittent connectivity
Check for sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable; if the cable was folded tightly, it may have caused internal damage to the twisted pairs.
POE device not powering on
Verify that your switch or injector provides sufficient power output to meet the requirements of your specific POE device.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ultra-slim design for easy cable management
- High-speed 10Gbps capacity for future-proofing
- Effective shielding reduces data interference
- Excellent for discreet under-carpet installations
- Supports POE for powered networking devices
Cons
- Flat cables are generally less durable than round shielded cables
- Rigid cable structure can kink if bent at extreme angles
- 15-meter length may lead to signal loss if coiled tightly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, avoid running the cable near high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. When routing the cable, use adhesive cable clips designed for flat surfaces rather than staples, which can damage the internal shielding.
- Compatibility: Compatible with RJ45 ports on PCs, laptops, routers, switches, gaming consoles, and IP cameras.
- Installation: Use caution when threading through walls to avoid damaging the outer jacket.
- Care: Periodically check that the ends are free of dust or debris and ensure that the locking tab on the connector is not bent.
