Cat 7 Outdoor Ethernet Cable 500ft (SFTP Triple Shielded Internet Cable | DIY Bulk Cable | x 20 RJ45) High-Speed 10Gbps 600MHz Network Cable, Direct Burial, Waterproof/UV Resistant, for Router/Gaming

We live in the boonies and had dsl until recently, poorly maintained and never upgraded. They were the only game in town so we were stuck with it and my Cat6 cables were probably overkill for their equipment. When our electric co-op brought fiber optic to our itty bitty town we jumped on it. The increase in speed was amazing. I was told my Cat6 cables were perfect and I didn't need to upgrade them. When I saw this cable I thought, why not see if we can do better. Let's get every bit of speed that's coming in. I don't have all the specs or knowledge that some of the reviewers here have but I appreciate their facts back up what I've experienced. My system is faster. Quite a bit faster. Page loading is instant. It felt like it was back to the speed I had before installing an antivirus program. I'm thrilled with that. I use my laptop as a desktop and have it on a swivel (think lazy susan). The connection holds well and hasn't hinted at breaking the little tab. The connector ends feel like they're a much better quality than any I've bought before and the cable itself is nice and thick, doesn't want to coil on itself and straightened nicely to run through a chase along the baseboard. After ordering the first one through the Vine program I bought another for a second computer. I couldn't be happier with these cables.

Good quality cable, only miner issue I had, Orange white and brown white wire are looks pretty similar when you untangled.

It is double Shielded Cat 7 but it is 24G wire not 23g. For normal uses it would work fine. If you require 23g for a specific reason, you may need something else.

This a very very durable cable with great stats on latency and clear signal. Clips are study and clips are easy to handle but stiff enough to withstand gravity over time.

I can comment on everything but the waterproof factor, I'm using this cable indoors. I've recently gone to 10G on my network (at least directly off the core). I had no issues moving data between a 10G NIC on a worktation and my QNap NAS. That is my most common use case and I typically achieve just shy of 5G throughput (writing to RAID arrays of HDDs). In some limiting testing between two machines with 10G NICs and high speed NVMe storage I was right where you wanted to be for 10G. Excellent cable, I have no reservations. My recommendation - buy shielded cables when you can. They aren't that much more and elminating the possiblity of interference is very important. This cable is highly flexible, the jacks/jackets are well made, and it delivers the speed you would expect. Highly recommended!

The build quality for this cable looks good, the connectors look well built and with good protection for the cable where it enters the housing. They clip in securely with no wobbles or loose fit, and are easy to remove cleanly (no fiddling with the connector). The cable I have is currently working at 10 Gbps between a Microtik switch (Flypro RJ45 transceiver to SFP+ port), and a QNAP NAS. Activity began immediately when the cable was plugged in, and monitoring the switch reports no errors or retransmissions in several hours, while regular fairly intensive file transfer activity is proceeding with no difference in speed that I can detect. Based on this I'm happy leaving this cable installed or using it as a test cable. The only issue that I can see to look out for long term is whether the connectors hold up to repeated insertion/removal, which is the same for any cable. Overall it merits 5/5 so far, I will update the review if anything changes. I would be happy to recommend or use more of these cables in the future.

I purchased the 100-meter (328-feet) bulk coil of this product. The claims made in the product description are so inaccurate that they can only be considered FRAUDULENT. How is it even possible that it is being sold by Amazon? First, it is claimed that this wire is rated as CAT7. IT IS NOT CAT7. A CAT7 cable should handle a bandwidth of 600 MHz and a transmission speed of 10 Gbps. Not only does this cable not come close to meeting these specifications, it ALSO FAILS TO MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CAT6A, CAT6, AND CAT5E! THIS IS A CAT5 CABLE, that has a maximum transmission speed of 100 Mbps and a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz. After failing to meet the CAT7 standards at 100 meters (328 feet), I also tested it at other distances, down to 15 meters (49 feet), and again it ONLY SATISFIED THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CAT5! Second, it is claimed that this cable is suitable for direct burial. IT IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING BURIED DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND. A direct-burial cable must have a tough outer jacket. Most direct-burial cables also have multiple layers of sheathing and are filled with a water-excluding substance. This cable has a flimsy single layer jacket that I could cut with my fingernail. There is no chance that it could survive for any length of time directly buried in the ground. Shame on Amazon for selling this overpriced, mislabeled garbage.

This is a solid CAT7 cable. I like that the wire shielding on this cable is extra thick because of my application. I used this to run under my computer desk where there is power cables, and I believe it eliminated a substantial amount of interference that was robbing my internet speed. I was running a CAT6 cable of the same length with a much thinner jacket prior and in OpenSpeedTest the highest MBPS I achieved was 800 MBPS. After installing this new CAT7 cable I have consistently been over 950 MBPS. Bare in mind this may not be perfect for your application as the jacket on the cable is VERY beefy and could be an issue if you have a lot of cables in one spot or are running these in a tight space. The cable is pretty pricey for CAT7, but if you need the extra EMI protection in your application this works excellent and I would highly recommend it.
