Product Information

Full details

The Atek 20m Cat7 Ethernet cable is designed for power users, gamers, and professionals who require a rock-solid, high-speed wired connection over longer distances. It provides a reliable 10Gbps data transfer rate and 600MHz bandwidth, making it ideal for high-definition streaming and latency-sensitive online gaming, though its length and shielding may make it slightly stiffer and more difficult to route through tight wall spaces compared to thinner unshielded cables.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable backwards compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors are standard, so this cable works perfectly with older Ethernet standards, though speeds will be limited by the slowest device in your network chain.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use; it does not feature the UV or moisture resistance required for outdoor exposure.

Does this cable provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) support?

While the high-quality wiring is capable, please ensure your specific network devices are rated for the power requirements of your equipment.

Why is this cable thicker than my old one?

The increased thickness is due to the advanced shielding required to meet Cat7 specifications, which protects your data from interference.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, this is a pre-terminated patch cable that uses standard plug-and-play connectors.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure the RJ45 plug is fully inserted into the port and verify that both the router and the client device ports are active.

Intermittent data drops

Inspect the cable for any physical kinks, pinches, or heavy objects resting on the cord that may have compromised the shielding.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that the network interface card (NIC) on your computer and your router port both support 10Gbps speeds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed 10Gbps performance
  • Gold-plated contacts improve durability and signal quality
  • Shielded design minimizes interference in busy environments
  • 20-meter length is ideal for connecting distant rooms

Cons

  • Cable thickness makes it less flexible than Cat5 or Cat6
  • Longer length can be challenging to manage or conceal
  • Requires careful handling to avoid kinking the internal shielding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click. Because this is a Cat7 shielded cable, avoid bending it at sharp 90-degree angles to prevent damage to the internal shielding wires. When running the cable, ensure it is not pinched by furniture or doors. If cleaning is required, use a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth to wipe the outer jacket; avoid using chemical solvents that could degrade the insulation.
