Amazon Basics Cat 7 RJ45 High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Patch Internet Cable, 1-Pack, 20 Foot (6 m), White

I always got myself CAT7 or CAT6 ethernet because there are so many low-quality CAT5e ethernet cables on the market and they really hurt my Internet performance. I am quite surprised to see that Amazon Basics can offer CAT7 cables at such a low cost. When I plug in directly into two of my PCs with a 1Gb ethernet card to test it, the latency and throughput can almost reach the max. So I am very happy with this purchase. However, when opening the package, I noticed that the cable was tightly wound within the box. For me, this is a bit of a concern as I would have preferred if the cable arrived with less curvature. However, despite this initial observation, the throughput and latency for the cable seem OK to me.

Using this for the Xbox series x. Works perfectly and has an excellent transfer rate.

Cable works as expected. I have not been able to test the throughput, but delivery, packaging and the price were good. Based on my initial experience I would order again.

Bought to do an awkward cable run under floor skirting. Did the job just fine with a bit of convincing. No issues with the cable for the numerous months of use.Cable isn’t as flexible as a patch cable so keep that in mind if you need it to do any tight turns

One of the main draws of Cat-7 / Cat-8 are the additional shielding and twists, reducing cross-talk, allowing the frequency to get higher than earlier categories and transmit more data.Other Cat-7 cables on this site are thicker, having separate foil sheaths internally, pair-sheaths (in some cases) and an outer foil sheath beneath a braided armoured shield on the outside.This one is flat and bendy, and therefore has much less shielding than "proper" Cat-7. Also, being flat, it means that bending it around complex corners can be a little irritating as the corners pop back out.However, in tests, these cables were getting a solid 800Megabit over a theoretical maximum of 1Gbit on my kit. Given protocol overheads, it's not the fastest cable I've got, but it loses out maybe only 5% to 10% on the 'fully shielded' variants.For a basics product, priced to match, it's pretty darn good, all things considered! Well worth the money.

I found Amazon Basics great quality for the price so far - but CAT7 is a bit OP (over-powered) and expensive - unless you really are running 10Gbe copper and need such a cable. But on a deal I said, let's try it.Like other CAT7 cables it is pretty thick as it is STP (each of the 4 pairs shielded) not just shielded (FTP) and hopefully using AWG27 copper wire not CCA or thinner like cheaper cables. Thus routing may be an issue as you are not meant to bend it too much and too far. [BTW - in the box it comes pretty wound up which concerned me a bit as I would have preferred less bent.]I do have a single 10Gbe RJ45 copper card but I'm not using a 10Gbe RJ45 switch but it has passed frequency diagnostics. It will naturally do 2.5 or 5Gbe with no issues.But unless cheap there's not much point to get a CAT7 cable unless you really think you will upgrade over 1Gbe in the next few years.

No issues, cheaply priced and carries my gigabit ethernet without loss.

Easy to use and keep ready if needed.
