Cat7 Flat Ethernet Cable OFC Shielded 10Gbps Network Cord
Upgrade your home or office network with the Cat7 Flat Ethernet Cable — engineered with oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and full shielding for blazing-fast, interference-free connectivity at speeds up to 10Gbps. Whether you're gaming, streaming 4K content, or running a busy home office, this cable delivers the consistent, high-bandwidth performance your setup demands.
Its slim, flat profile makes routing a breeze — run it along walls, under rugs, or behind furniture without the bulk of round cables. Available in 2 color options to blend seamlessly with your space. The Cat7 standard supports bandwidths up to 600MHz, and the shielded twisted-pair (STP) design effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) for a cleaner, more stable signal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes a Cat7 Ethernet cable better than Cat5e or Cat6?
A: The Cat7 flat Ethernet cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps and bandwidths up to 600MHz — significantly higher than Cat5e (1Gbps / 100MHz) and Cat6 (10Gbps / 250MHz at shorter runs). Its full shielded twisted-pair (STP) construction also provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for demanding, high-bandwidth environments like gaming, 4K streaming, and professional networking setups.
Q: Why does oxygen-free copper (OFC) matter in an Ethernet cable?
A: Oxygen-free copper conductors have a higher purity level than standard copper, which means lower electrical resistance, better signal conductivity, and improved durability over time. In a Cat7 network cable, OFC helps maintain signal integrity over longer runs and under heavy, continuous use — making it a smarter long-term investment for your network infrastructure.
Q: Is the flat design of this Ethernet cable as reliable as a round cable?
A: Yes. The flat Cat7 Ethernet cable delivers the same high-speed, shielded performance as a round cable. The flat profile simply makes it easier to route discreetly along walls, under carpets, and through tight spaces. It's plug-and-play with any standard RJ45 port and is fully backward compatible with older Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 equipment.
Q: What devices is this Cat7 patch cord compatible with?
A: This Cat7 shielded Ethernet cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard RJ45 Ethernet port — including routers, modems, network switches, desktop and laptop computers, gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox), smart TVs, NAS drives, and more. It is backward compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 infrastructure.
