Description
Category 7 Ethernet cable specs are defined in the ISO/IEC 11801:2002 (Information technology – Generic cabling for customer premises). This specification is also known as the Class F standard, which is why Cat7 cable is sometimes referred to as an ISO Class F cable. This Cat7 Ethernet cable specification dictates that the wired connection must be:
- Capable of delivering certain data transfer rates reliably over a defined range of distances
- Built to meet stringent criteria around crosstalk and system noise blocking
- Able to cope with a range of potentially problematic environmental hazards as it delivers these speeds
- Be guaranteed for a minimum lifespan in continual operation
