Description
This Cat7 patch lead carries data at speeds of up to 10Gbps at bandwidths up to 600MHz, making it a solid choice for high-speed home and office networks. It uses oxygen-free 26AWG pure copper twisted pairs, with both individual pair aluminium foil screens and an overall braided aluminium screen. That combination of S/FTP shielding helps protect against crosstalk between pairs and alien crosstalk from nearby cables, so your connection stays stable.
The RJ45 connectors are snag-free, which means the clips are less likely to catch when you route the lead through cabinets, along skirting boards or behind furniture. The cable measures 6.2mm in diameter and is finished in black, so it sits neatly alongside other kit. At 10m this length gives you room to reach across a room or between floors without needing an extension.
We supply the shorter lengths in a retail-friendly sealed bag, so the lead arrives clean and ready to use. This patch lead (patch cable in US terms) suits routers, switches, network-attached storage, games consoles, smart TVs and any device with a wired Ethernet port. If you want a dependable wired link that holds up to fast transfers and streaming, this is a straightforward option that does the job.

Frequently Asked
What speed does this Cat7 lead support?
It supports data transmission of up to 10Gbps at bandwidths up to 600MHz.
What does S/FTP shielding mean?
Each twisted pair has its own aluminium foil screen, and the whole cable has an overall braided aluminium screen. This guards against crosstalk between pairs and interference from nearby cables.
What conductors does it use?
Pure oxygen-free copper 26AWG conductors in a twisted pair layout.
How long is this lead?
This version is 10m long, with a cable diameter of 6.2mm.
Will the connectors snag when routing the cable?
No. The RJ45 connectors are snag-free, so the clips are less likely to catch as you feed the lead through gaps and around fittings.
What devices can I use it with?
Any device with a wired Ethernet port, including routers, switches, NAS drives, consoles and smart TVs.
