HP Cat7 Ethernet Cable (3ft/1m, Black) – Ultra High-Speed 10Gbps Shielded LAN Cord

Overview

HP Cat7 Ethernet Cable (3ft/1m, Black) delivers the ultimate networking performance expected from a trusted brand like HP. Designed for speed enthusiasts and professional setups, this ultra-high-speed cable supports data transmission up to 10Gbps with a bandwidth of 600MHz. Its short 3-foot length makes it perfect for connecting devices that are close together—like a modem to a router—without leaving messy, tangled slack wires behind your desk.

Key Features

• 10Gbps Ultra-Fast Speed: Future-proof your network with speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. Perfect for transferring large files to a NAS server, 4K/8K video streaming, and competitive eSports gaming.
• Double Shielded (SFTP): Unlike standard cables, this Cat7 features Screened Foiled Twisted Pair shielding. Each pair of wires is shielded to completely eliminate “crosstalk” and interference from nearby electronics.
• High-Bandwidth Performance: Supports up to 600MHz bandwidth (more than double that of Cat6), ensuring high-speed data transfer even during peak network traffic.
• Gold-Plated Connectors: The RJ45 connectors utilize gold plating for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a snappy, lag-free connection every time.
• Short & Tangle-Free: At 1 meter (3ft), this cable is the ideal length for patch panels or stacking devices, eliminating cable clutter.

Common Uses

• Connecting a Modem to a WiFi Router (best use for maximum internet input)
• Linking a PC or Mac directly to a wall port or switch on a desk
• High-speed connections for NAS (Network Attached Storage) drives
• Server room patch panels and switch boxes

FAQ

Is Cat7 overkill for home use?
It depends. For basic web browsing, yes. But if you are a gamer, content creator, or use a home server, Cat7 ensures you get the absolute maximum speed your equipment can handle with zero interference.

Is this cable compatible with my old router (Cat5e/Cat6)?
Yes. Cat7 is fully backward compatible. It acts like a “wider pipe”—it will work perfectly with older devices, though the speed will be limited to what your router supports.

Why is the cable thicker than my old one?
Cat7 cables have extra layers of shielding (foil and braiding) inside to block interference. This makes the cable slightly thicker and stiffer than a cheap Cat5e cable, but much more durable.
