Demand more from your network. The UNITEK Cat 7 SFTP Ethernet Cable is engineered to deliver uncompromising speed, unwavering stability, and professional-grade reliability. Whether you’re a gamer, streamer, or IT professional, this cable provides the high-performance backbone your modern connected environment requires.

Future-Proof Your Data Infrastructure
First and foremost, this cable is built to exceed today’s standards. Complying with the Category 7 (Cat 7) specification, it supports staggering data speeds of up to 10Gbps across a wide 600MHz bandwidth. Consequently, it eliminates bottlenecks for data-intensive tasks, ensuring seamless performance for your gaming PC or network-attached storage (NAS) devices.

Engineered for Flawless Signal Integrity
The critical advantage lies in its robust shielding. The SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) design combines individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield. This dual layer actively repels electromagnetic interference from power cables, appliances, and other electronic noise, guaranteeing a clean, error-free signal. It’s the ideal choice for complex office networks or home theater setups where stability is paramount.

Durable, Safe, and Ready for Any Task
Constructed with premium materials, the oxygen-free copper core ensures efficient power and data delivery, especially important for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications like security cameras. The gold-plated contacts prevent corrosion and ensure a perfect connection every time. Essentially, you get a versatile cable ready for any smart home device or commercial installation.

10 FAQs:

1. What is the difference between SFTP and standard UTP cable?
SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) cables have individual foil shields around each wire pair AND an overall braided shield, offering superior protection against interference. UTP (Unshielded) cables have no shielding, making them more susceptible to signal noise, especially over longer runs or near power sources.

2. Can this cable support 10Gbps over its full 20-meter length?
Yes, Cat 7 cables are certified to handle 10Gbps speeds up to 100 meters. Therefore, at 20 meters, you will experience full 10Gbps performance with no signal degradation.

3. Is it suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices like security cameras?
Absolutely. Its pure copper core and robust construction make it perfectly suited for PoE applications (like IP cameras, WiFi access points), safely delivering both data and power efficiently.

4. Will it work with my current Gigabit (1Gbps) router and computer?
Yes, it is fully backward compatible. You can use this Cat 7 cable with any device having an RJ45 port (router, switch, PC, game console). It will operate at the maximum speed your device supports (e.g., 1Gbps), while future-proofing your cabling.

5. Why choose Cat 7 over Cat 6 or Cat 6a?
Cat 7 offers higher bandwidth (600MHz vs. 250-500MHz) and superior shielding (SFTP). It provides better protection against crosstalk and EMI, ensuring more reliable performance for 10Gbps networks, especially in electrically noisy environments.

6. Can I use it for outdoor or in-wall installation?
This standard version has a PVC jacket suitable for indoor use. For outdoor or in-wall installations, you would need a specifically rated cable (e.g., CMX/CMR for riser/plenum spaces). Check our specialized cables section.

7. Does the gold plating on connectors really make a difference?
Yes, gold plating prevents oxidation and corrosion on the contact points, ensuring a low-resistance, reliable connection over many years, even with frequent plugging and unplugging.

8. Is this cable good for online gaming?
It is excellent for gaming. A wired Cat 7 connection provides the lowest possible latency (ping) and maximum stability compared to Wi-Fi or lower-category cables, giving you a competitive edge. Pair it with a high-performance gaming router.

9. What does “RoHS Compliant” mean?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the cable is manufactured without the use of specific hazardous materials like lead or mercury, making it safer for you and the environment.

10. How do I choose the right length?
Plan your route from your router/switch to your device with a little extra slack. For desktop PCs or media centers, 2m or 3m is often sufficient. For routing along walls or to a different room, measure carefully and consider our longer length options. For organizing multiple cables, use UGREEN cable ties.
