CAT7 cable is short for Category 7 cable. This network cable is used as a cabling infrastructure for certain networks. It provides performance of up to 600 MHz and can be used up to 100 meters.
A category 7 cable refers to a standard cable for ultra high-speed Ethernet network connection. The speeds are of 1 Gbps and higher.
You can tell the CAT level (or category) of a cable by looking for imprinted markings along the length of the cable. Look for the number preceded by 'CAT.' That is the category of the cable.
There is the USB cable and the twisted pair cable (Cat 5 and Cat 6) for networking.
Cat 2 cable was rated at 4 or 16 mbps whereas cat 3 cable would be rated at 10 mbps. Since 10baseT networks with Ethernet ran at 10 mbps this meant that cat 2 cable would not be useable in those networks. The minimum category cable for those networks had to be at least a cat 3 cable.
Cat-5 has 4 pairs and 8 wires
Cat-5 has 4 pairs and 8 wires

The maximum length of a cat 5 e cable with out a repeater is 100meters
Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat7
A Cat 5 cable is an Ethernet cable, used in computer networks. Cat 5 cables are designed for high signal integrity, and can carry two separate telephone lines.
cat A
The modern Ethernet cable is a Category 5 UTP cable, with an RJ 45 connector.
Cat, stand for category. A category 5 cable may be used as ethernet cables, telephone cords, or tv video. Each category of cable pertains to the level of cable. For example the category 1 is the most primitive.
