Veetop 5m/16.4ft Flat Cat7 Ethernet Cables High Speed 10Gbps

I purchased this cable to use along side the TP-LINK TL-SG1005D V6 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps Unmanaged Desktop Switch . Having been punished with Wi-Fi speeds in my computer room for a few months now having moved to a new property with my Virgin Media 3.0 Hub downstairs i decided enough was enough and wanted my ethernet speeds back that i am use to.

Prior to purchasing this cable i purchased a Cat 6 25M Cable ( CSL – 25m – CAT.6 Ethernet Gigabit Lan network cable (RJ45) | 10/100/1000Mbit/s | Patch cable | UTP | compatible with CAT.5 / CAT.5e / CAT.7 | Switch/Router/Modem/Patch panel / Access Point / patch fields | white ) – When that cable arrived, it was to small, and as Cat 6 can not deliver Gigabit speeds over 50m i decided to consider a Cat 6a Cable or a Cat 7.

Interestingly, Cat 7 isn’t recognised yet, and some people in the reviews have questioned its true potential. However, i am not able to counter or pose any arguments as i have no time to take apart a cable and run some tests.

What i can tell you is that i decided to purchase this Cat 7 Cable, as opposed to the internationally recognised Cat 6a Cable on the basis that it is flat! I needed a 50M cable that i could run underneath numerous doors and in and around obstacles in the house, and a flat cable afforded me that ability. This Cat 7 Cable is adverted as being able to deliver higher speeds than the Cat 6 and Cat6a, as previously stated, i can’t give you science regarding the internal workings of the cable, i can however give you solid evidence of me using the cables.

Prior to using any cables, i was achieving 146Mbs at best on Wi-Fi to my iMac upstairs, which i appreciate is good, however the dropping of signal is what caused me to change my course of action.

With the Cat6 Cable attached to my Ethernet Switch (Listed above) i achieved at best 165MB’s on a 200MB Internet Plan. This was tested around 7PM GMT Midweek. I attach a photo.

With the Cat7 Cable attached to the Ethernet Switch tested around the same time my best so far is 206MB’s.

Interestingly, i am using Two Category 6A Cables, to attach from my Ethernet switch to my iMac and my PS4, these cables being ( Duronic White 10m CAT6a FTP Professional Gold Headed Shielded Network Cable – High Speed 500MHz Premium Quality Cat6a / Patch / Ethernet / Modem / Router / LAN – In different Sizes)

So conclusion? The Cat 7 Cable delivers over 200MB’s into my Ethernet Switche, im not saying the Cat6 Cable could possibly never of achieved that, as it is listed for those speeds, maybe i got a bad one, furthermore i can’t comment on peoples arguments that these aren’t true Cat 7 or Cat 6 Cables even, all i know is that it works for me at the moment, and is delivering higher speeds than what a true Cat 6 cable did into my ethernet switch,

I have given it 4 Stars as i have used it for less than a week and will update in the future.
