Nippon Labs 60CAT7-6GY Cat7 network ethernet cable 6 ft gray

Shielded Cat7 patch cable

This new Nippon Labs cable is a Cat 7 shielded (SSTP) patch lead built with 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and an overall braided shield. It is rated for 600 MHz transmission frequency and terminated with RJ45 plugs that carry 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The 6 ft grey jacket uses CM-rated PVC and follows the T568B wiring standard. It suits anyone wiring a short Gigabit Ethernet link between a PC, router, switch or server.

Home and office Gigabit runs

The 6 ft length fits desktop-to-switch or patch-panel connections inside a rack or on a desk where full shielding helps reject interference. Builders needing longer horizontal runs beyond 100 meters or installers who require plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should choose a different cable type. The fixed length also means it cannot replace bulk cable for custom-cut installations.

600 MHz Cat 7 rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 600 MHz Cat 7 rating, which guarantees the bandwidth and crosstalk performance required for certified Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100 meter channel. If your network equipment or installer specification calls for a lower category or an unshielded design, this cable exceeds that requirement but adds cost and stiffness you may not need.
