Kenable CAT7 Ethernet Cable - 3m Black

The main advantage of Cat7 is its significantly higher performance, supporting speeds up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps) and a bandwidth of 600 MHz, compared to Cat 6's 10 Gbps at 250 MHz or Cat 5e's 1 Gbps at 100 MHz. Cat7 also offers superior shielding to minimize interference.

Yes, this Cat7 cable is backward compatible. It will work with older routers and devices that use Cat 6, Cat 5e, or earlier Ethernet standards, but it will operate at the maximum speed supported by the slowest component in the connection.

Absolutely. The high bandwidth and speed of Cat7 cables are ideal for supporting uncompressed 4K video streams and other high-definition media, ensuring a smooth and buffer-free viewing experience.

F/FTP stands for Foiled/Foiled Twisted Pair. It means that each individual pair of wires within the cable is shielded with foil, and the entire bundle of pairs is also wrapped in an overall foil shield. This double shielding provides excellent protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference.

Yes, this cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. Its full copper construction ensures efficient power delivery alongside data transmission.

While CAT7 is specified for performance up to 100 meters (328 feet), the specific 3m length is provided for convenience in common home and office setups.

If the RJ45 connectors need cleaning, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, as they can damage the contacts.

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct RJ45 ports. Ensure the network hardware on both ends is functioning and configured correctly. Try a different Ethernet cable to rule out a cable defect.

Confirm that your router, modem, and connected devices support speeds higher than standard Cat 5e. Check for any physical damage to the cable. Ensure the cable is not excessively long (beyond recommended lengths for optimal performance). Consider upgrading your network equipment if it's a bottleneck.

Inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts or stressed connectors. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Test the connection with a different cable.

Confirm that the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and the powered device (PD) both support the required PoE standard. Ensure the cable is fully seated in both ports and that the cable itself is not damaged, as this can impede power delivery.
