Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 7 cable meets the stringent specifications for high-speed networking, delivering 10 Gbit/s performance with minimal signal degradation. The S/FTP shielding configuration combines overall foil shielding with individual twisted pair foiling, providing superior protection against external interference and internal crosstalk. This design ensures clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments.
The cable utilizes 24 AWG solid copper conductors that maintain signal integrity over the entire 3-foot length. RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections, while the snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection during cable management. The CM-rated PVC jacket is flame-retardant and suitable for use in commercial building spaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this AddOn CAT7 cable?
This AddOn ADD-3FCAT7-BE Category 7 Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This high-speed performance makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications, network backbone connections, and future-proofing network infrastructure. The cable meets Category 7 specifications that ensure reliable 10 Gbit/s operation over its entire 3-foot length.
What type of shielding does this Ethernet cable have?
This cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) construction. This means it has overall foil shielding around all twisted pairs plus individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments near power cables or other interference sources.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this AddOn CAT7 patch cable fully supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors and robust construction can handle PoE power delivery to connected devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled equipment. The cable's shielding also helps protect power signals from interference during transmission.
What is the significance of the CM jacket rating?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in commercial building spaces. CM-rated cables are flame-retardant and meet specific safety standards for installation in plenum areas, risers, and general purpose applications. This rating ensures the cable can be safely deployed in office environments, data centers, and other commercial settings where fire safety codes apply.
How do the snagless boots on the connectors help with installation?
The snagless boots on the RJ-45 connectors feature a protective design that prevents the connector latch from catching on other cables, patch panel ports, or equipment during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnection, broken latches, and installation frustration. The boots also provide strain relief at the connection point, extending the cable's lifespan in frequently accessed patch panels.
What warranty comes with this AddOn network cable?
This AddOn ADD-3FCAT7-BE Category 7 patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty coverage provides long-term assurance of the cable's quality and durability. The lifetime warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction materials, shielding effectiveness, and overall performance reliability for network connectivity applications.
