Oren CAT7 Ethernet Cable - 50m, 23 AWG Copper Wire, 900 MHz Bandwidth – High Speed S/FTP Internet LAN Network Cable, Halogen Free, Non-Corrosive, Flame Retardant

I love the quality of Oren cables, I picked this up to run in the walls and floors from one side of my house to the other.I thought I’d get the best I could as I didn’t want to be replacing it in future when network speeds get faster. What I hadn’t realised when I bought this is that Cat7 is, as far as I can tell, an abandoned standard and that terminating it properly requires grounding the shielding, with failure to do so resulting in increased interference and reduced speeds. I’ve gone with it anyway and will terminate into grounded patch panels either side. Completely my own fault but might be useful for others to know before making a purchase (I’d look towards cat6a or maybe fibre if you want super speeds).The quality of this cable is second to none, I’ve also picked up some Oren Cat6a cable to run elsewhere in the house and this is equally as good. It was durable and easy to pull through walls and floor joists. It spooled off the reel nicely.

Quite thick and stiff with each pair shielded. Proper cat7 but needs special RJ45 plugs due to thickness of cable pairs.

Cable seems well made and very firm but beware, the "colour X and white striped" cores are just plain white all over, which was a bit confusing the first time I went to wire up an end. You have solid orange, green, blue and brown but the other 4 are identically-coloured; just white. So you have to pay attention to WHICH white one you're ordering, and check which solid colour it was twisted around before you untwist them. Not a huge thing, once you realise, but just beware!

Works really well easy to strip quality cable

Well wrapped, very good shielding and high quality cores. Even with a mistaken kink the signal is loud and clear. Far superior to both my broadband and WiFi and really happy to have a secure wired connection.

The outer sheathing on the cable is very tough and durable. It spools off the real easily and it is easy to connect up. I would happily buy a reel of this cable again.

Excellent cable and high speed, but notice this is a stiff cable. I recommend 5cm striping the outer jacket instead of the recommended 3cm. Also, get a connector with the guidance comb. Otherwise, it would be challenging to arrange the wires.

I'm new to cat 7 and found this cable a bit thick, a bit stiff and tricky to terminate, though I gather this is par for the course.It is working. I can't comment on throughput yet as other hardware still to be upgraded
