Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing high-speed, reliable network connectivity, particularly those looking to hide cables discreetly. The Kenable Flat Cat7 Ethernet cable offers superior speed and frequency over older Cat standards, with a low-profile design ideal for under-carpet or floorboard installation. A key benefit is its shielded construction, preventing interference, though its specialized flat design might require careful routing in tight spaces.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a Cat7 cable over Cat6 or Cat5e?

Cat7 cables offer significantly higher bandwidth (up to 10 Gbps) and a higher operating frequency (600 MHz) compared to Cat 6 (1 Gbps, 250 MHz) and Cat 5e (1 Gbps, 100 MHz), providing faster and more reliable data transfer for demanding applications.

Can I use this flat cable for my gaming setup?

Yes, the high speed (10 Gbps) and low latency potential of Cat7 make it excellent for gaming. The flat design also helps keep your gaming area tidy.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, this is an FTP (Foil Twisted Pair) shielded cable, designed to eliminate crosstalk and interference from external electronic sources.

What does 'backward compatible' mean for this cable?

It means the cable can be used with devices designed for older Ethernet standards like Cat 6a, Cat 6, Cat 5e, and Cat 5. However, the connection speed will be limited by the slowest component in the network chain.

How thick is the flat cable?

The cable has a height of just over 2mm, making it very thin and easy to conceal.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use may expose it to elements that can cause damage and reduce its lifespan.

What is PoE and is this cable compatible?

PoE stands for Power over Ethernet. This cable is suitable for PoE devices, meaning it can carry both data and electrical power to devices like IP cameras or wireless access points through the single Ethernet cable.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check if the connected devices are powered on and configured for network access. Try a different Ethernet cable to rule out cable failure.

Slow internet speeds

Verify that your router and connected devices support speeds higher than 1 Gbps to take full advantage of Cat7. Ensure the cable is not damaged and has no sharp kinks. Check for interference from other network cables or devices, though the shielding should minimize this.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, especially around the connectors. Ensure the cable is not under excessive tension or pressure. Test with a different cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers significantly higher bandwidth and frequency than older Ethernet standards.
  • Discreet, low-profile design makes cable management easy.
  • Shielded construction prevents signal interference for a more reliable connection.
  • Full copper core ensures optimal performance and durability.
  • Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices.

Cons

  • The flat design may be less flexible than round cables in very tight bends.
  • While backward compatible, older devices will not benefit from the full Cat7 speed capabilities.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid damage to the flat profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one end of the RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., router, switch, PC, console).
  2. Connect the other end to your network-enabled device.
  3. Due to its flat profile, route the cable carefully to avoid kinks or damage. It can be easily tucked under carpets, behind furniture, or along wall edges.

Compatibility:

This Cat7 cable is backward compatible with:

  • Cat 6a
  • Cat 6
  • Cat 5e
  • Cat 5

Ensure your network devices (router, switch, computer) have standard Ethernet ports (RJ45).

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or crushing the cable. The flat design requires care to prevent damage to the internal conductors.
  • Clean the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, avoiding excessive pressure.
